Please find details here
1. Online Application:
The programme is only offered in the winter semester. To apply at our university, first you'll have to fill out the online application:
Please fill out the form and send it online to the university. Secondly, send your application documents as hardcopy together with the required documents (legally attested) to the university. You will find a list of required documents on your online application form.
Application period for the winter semester is May 2nd to July 15th. Please consider that the online application is only possible in this space of time - applications which reach the university later than July 15th cannot be taken into consideration.
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt sends the admission/rejection letters to the applicants by middle of August.
The dual degree combines practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.
