We are committed to producing global graduates with international degrees: 200 partner universities around the world provide students with many opportunities to gain experience and earn credits towards their degree through foreign exchange semesters, internships and double-degree studies abroad. In fact, all undergraduate degrees include a compulsory internship semester which can be undertaken either locally or abroad.

Teaching campuses

Students are distributed throughout eight faculties on two campuses. The main campus in Deggendorf has a large range of degree programmes instructed in either English or German. At the European Campus Rottal-Inn, all students are taught exclusively in English (with international students attending German lessons). Campus Cham is our newest and most compact campus with around 400 students, from 20 different nations. Both Master's programmes are taught completely in English, students benefit from intensive personal supervision in small study groups. The campus has a close relationship with regional and national companies in the field of mechatronics, so students learn equally in an applied and scientific way.

We consider a great lifestyle to be an important factor for the well-being of our students. They are supported with many facilities, such as a range of student clubs, an extensive sports programme, and a competent and always helpful International Office, Career Service and Child Care Centre. We host many students’ events, including campus and music festivals annually each summer.

All faculties, workshops and service centres for our students are based in, on and around our campus, creating an open, friendly and communicative environment among staff, students and teaching staff.

Newly built, self-contained student apartment blocks are within close walking or biking proximity to campus. Come and join our pioneering and vibrant university community.
