Join online meeting

Thanks to rapid advances in sensor technology, algorithms, communication, electronics and actuators, our mobility is currently undergoing a major transformation. Currently, the focus is still on networking and electrification. However, with driver assistance systems such as speed, steering and lane keeping assistants, we are on the threshold of highly automated driving. The degree programme focuses on the interaction of different technologies in order to qualify engineers for the development of automated mobility systems. Students acquire the necessary competences in the subject areas characteristic of automated mobility systems:

  • Sense: Sensor technology, sensor systems and sensor data fusion for recognising and recording the environment.
  • Think: Processing the information obtained via sensors to create a driving strategy with the help of software and intelligent algorithms.
  • Act: Safe implementation of the driving strategy with the help of drive, steering and braking forces by controlling and regulating actuators.

The language of instruction for the course is English. By bringing together students from all over the world, we prepare them to work together in international teams.

Occupational fields and career prospects


Due to the great future potential of automated driving technologies, specialised professions are increasingly emerging that are focused on the development of autonomous mobility. These are characterised by expertise in computer science, sensor technology, control technology and machine learning - expertise that the degree programme teaches. Development engineers for autonomous driving are primarily employed by vehicle producers themselves, but also by many supplier companies. These include companies in the IT, electrical and computer industries that develop and produce technical components for autonomous driving in the form of hardware and software. Development engineers for autonomous driving also find promising jobs in research institutes, at state authorities or at universities.

The bachelor's programme Autonomous Vehicle Engineering deals with interaction of different technologies in order to qualify engineers for the development of automated mobility systems by teaching the scientific and engineering basics and methods. Students acquire skills in fields that are characteristic for automated mobility systems:

  • Sense: sensor technology, sensor systems and sensor data fusion for detection and acquisition of the environment
  • Think: Processing information obtained via sensors to create a driving strategy using software and intelligent algorithms
  • Act: Safe implementation of the driving strategy with the aid of forces offered by power drive, steering and braking systems and utilized by actuators

The concepts of these phases are taught in a well founded way. Laboratory internships and practical phases promote methodological competence. Group projects and seminars strengthen social and personal competence. Later, graduates with a broad interest in interdisciplinary trends in digitalised mobility will find many meaningful fields of activity.
The language of instruction of the course is English. By bringing students from all over the world together, we prepare them for cooperation in internationally composed teams and for a professional life in internationally operating companies.

Structure and contents

First stage of studies

In the first stage of studies (1st and 2nd semester), basic theories, methods and skills of engineering sciences, mathematics/statistics as well as technical and practical computer science are taught.

 

Second stage of studies

The second study section (3rd - 7th semester) teaches specialised knowledge and skills in the processing of information for the purposes of vehicle guidance and the concepts of automated and networked driving. During the practical semester, students carry out their first engineering-related activities in a domestic or foreign company.

The Bachelor's thesis concludes the programme. It can be written in a domestic or foreign company or in the laboratories of THI. With the final thesis, the graduate demonstrates that he/she has the ability to independently work on an engineering problem according to scientific rules.

Prerequisite for admission to study at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt is either a general or subject-related higher education entrance qualification or the entrance qualification for studies at universities of applied sciences.
In an aptitude assessment procedure, an applicant should prove whether, in addition to the qualification demonstrated by the acquisition of the university entrance qualification, the applicant is also suitable for the special qualitative knowledge and requirements of the Bachelor's programme in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering, which can be expected to lead to a successful course of study. In addition to the university entrance qualification (HZB), the following suitability requirements must be fulfilled for this course of study:

  1. strong, solid knowledge of mathematics, in particular the ability to think abstractly, logically and system-oriented and to formalise approaches to solutions
  2. competencies in the fields of natural sciences, information technology and technology

Aptitude test

Aptitude is determined by an evaluation based on the following criteria:

  1. average mark of the HZB and
  2. subject-specific individual grades

The grades in mathematics and two highest rated subjects from the natural sciences, including computer science, which were acquired in the last four semesters prior to the acquisition of higher education entrance qualification are used as subject-specific individual grades. A total score is determine as a weighted average of these grades. If this score is equal or greater 60, suitability shall be deemed to have been established.

Here you can find further information.

There will be no tests or interviews that require personal attendance!

Please make sure that you answer the questionaire for the aptitude test of AVE, which is also available in the Primuss portal.

Dual studies or studies with in-depth practical

The dual studies programme enables a combination of 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.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

FAQs

I would love to know, with my grades, whether I am eligible for admission to this university.

The admission process is structured as follows:

1. uni-assist: from as soon as possible until 30 May the latest for the winter semester
If you obtained your higher secondary school certificate outside of Germany, uni-assist has to verify your eligibility to study in Germany and to convert school grades to the German grading system. You will have to submit all required documents to uni-assist online. The process takes four to six weeks.


2. PRIMUSS – THI application portal: from 2 May until 15 July for the winter semester
You will have to apply online at the PRIMUSS university application portal. In case of admission, you will have to send all required documents additionally by post later on.
Please check the THI website to get up-to-date information regarding the application periods.
Admission requirements are an admission to university (secondary school certificate) and sufficient knowledge of the English language (see more details below). In an aptitude assessment procedure, the applicant must also prove eligibility to admission. The aptitude is determined by an evaluation of certificates based on the following criteria: average mark of the secondary school certificate and subject-specific individual grades. The marks listed in the secondary school certificate in the subject mathematics and two subjects from the natural sciences including computer science graded best are used as subject-specific individual marks. The grades are converted into points and a total point score is calculated as a weighted average of the above criteria. If the total points value is above the expected threshold, suitability is considered to be established and admission is given.
 

Do I have to provide a motivation letter? Would recommendation letters benefit my application?

No, you do not have to provide a motivation letter or any recommendation letters. The necessary application documents are listed in the application portal.

I am writing this to ask you about the proof of enrollment document and expense breakdown document. Can you please share those with me as embassy is asking me to show these?

Sorry, but we do not provide these services nor information. We do not have any contacts to any embassies and no insights into the visa processes.

Do I need IELTS for this programme or I can just apply with MOI? Could you provide some information about the English language requirement?

Since the program is entirely taught in English, of course proficiency of the English language is necessary. If your medium of instruction (MOI) of your secondary school was English, you do not have to provide additional proof of English language skills. If your MOI in school was different from English you will have to provide IELTS, Cambridge, TOEFL or similar certificates.

Do I have to learn German?

For successful completion of the AVE courses, background knowledge in mathematics, physics, and computer science are beneficial. Students are encouraged to learn German in parallel to their studies, because this will be beneficial in order to find a company for the mandatory internship planned for the fifth semester.

Is there an application fee?

Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt does not cooperate with recruitment agencies. Applicants will have to apply on their own. Apart from the uni-assist fee, there is no application fee.

Do I have to pay tuition if I want to study at THI?

You do not have to pay a tuition fee. You are only asked to pay a student union fee. Details can be found in the list of fees.

Are scholarships available?

There are different scholarships available to enrolled students, such as the Deutschlandstipendium. Talent Promotion/Scholarships (thi.de) All students will have to look and apply for specific scholarships themselves! Most scholarship programmes are based on performance (grades, voluntary work, etc.). The economic situation of applicants is usually not taken into consideration. A certain level of German language skills (at least B2) is required for many scholarships.

The International Office also offers scholarships. Enrolled international students will be notified of the call once a year via the communication channels of the university.

Is it possible to get online enrollment?

The enrollment process can be completed remotely. The enrollment has to be completed within the first 4 weeks of the semester.

Is it possible to get an online class of any course from my program or is there any opportunity to defer the semester or late arrival permission?

We do not offer any online classes. For most classes all materials are available online via Moodle for self-study. If you completed the enrollment process, you do not need any additional documents as you are a full student of THI, no matter if you join classes or not.

It is not possible to defer your admission to a later semester.

To take the exams you will have to be present in Ingolstadt. Please note that as soon as you enrolled, your study period will not be extended if you cannot be present in Ingolstadt for the lectures or exams.

Is there any opportunity to do my first semester online?

No, we do not offer any online classes.

Would the programme grant me a possible career future in Germany if I plan/intend to work in Germany after graduating?

Autonomous Vehicle Engineering is a study programme designed to qualify students to work at the interface between Hardware and Software. This means students will gain a deep understanding of electrical engineering and electronics, as well as signal processing and software development. Due to this broad training in a relevant field of modern technology, career opportunities after graduating are not limited to the field of automated driving or the automotive industry.

How do I become a dual student?

If you would like to apply for our new program AVE and in parallel work with a company, please apply at a company in close vicinity to Ingolstadt which has the same focus as our study program. We currently do not have a list of possible companies.
