Geography
Geography looks at natural and social backgrounds for the challenges of our time. This view of the whole and the spatial view of things are more in demand than ever.
Physical and Human Geography
Geography studies the spatial interaction of processes in nature and society. Geographical knowledge provides the basis for a comprehensive understanding of the Earth system, for future-proof spatial planning and for solutions to spatial conflicts.
The geography program at KIT prepares students for the teaching profession at the Gymnasium level. On the one hand, it is about the acquisition of human and physical-geographical knowledge, on the other hand it is about didactic and pedagogical competences. Learning on site and working in the field sharpen the integrative and interdisciplinary view.
Further occupational fields for geographers (DGfG) (in German). For information on the study subject Lehramt Geographie an Gymnasien, please refer to the "Study and Teaching" pages of the KIT.

It doesn't always have to be a seminar paper, it can also be more professional. In our ‘Karlsruher Geographische Umschau’, we compile the contributions of a project seminar in a themed booklet that resembles the well-known journal ‘Geographische Rundschau’. We are pleased to present the current issues (in German):
- Heft 1/2024 „Temporalität des Wohnens und Arbeitens“
- Heft 2/2024 „Gemeinsam Stadt_Machen“
- Heft 1/2025 „Mittelzentren und Kultur“
