A right R-module M is called kernel-invariant (under automorphisms) if the kernels of all endomorphisms of M are invariant under all automorphisms of M. We show that the classes of kernel-invariant modules and rings inherit some of the important features of the aforementioned classes of modules and rings. For example, (1) Duo modules and uniform non-singular modules are kernel-invariant, (2) Endomorphism rings of kernel-invariant modules are kernel-invariant and they are abelian, (3) Domains are kernel-invariant which are not auto-invariant, (4) Semicommutative rings are kernel-invariant and the converse is true if they are clean.
