Technical Design (B. Sc.)

The degree course in Technical Design combines the fields of Technology and Design works towards creating and developing products that are both fascinating and innovative.
 



Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.)

7 Semester

Winter

Yes Dual Offers

German

Contents

The specific technical subjects making up the course of study are based on the classic content of an engineering degree. The design-specific modules focus on design theory, methodical working, representation technology and computer-aided design techniques. The main emphasis of the study course lies in the interdisciplinary interplay between design and technology and is communicated through intensively supported projects.

The fundamental requirements of the course are creativity, a joy of experimentation, empathy and flexibility.

Quick Info

Admission and application

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 that reach the university later than that cannot be taken into consideration.

Please find further information on application for bachelor study courses.  

 

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!).

More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.

Job profiles

Technical designers work, among other areas, in product conception, the interface between the design and the technical areas, and as all-rounders with the ability to view and evaluate all aspects of product development. 

Internship

The study programme requires a preparatory internship of at least 6 weeks, which has to be completed before the start of the 4th semester (during semester breaks). The preparatory internship is not part of our admission requirements.

International

To prepare for your semester abroad or to learn another foreign language alongside your studies, you can take language courses at THI's own Language Center (Sprachenzentrum). The language courses are taught only by native speakers and offered at different levels. All courses are free of charge for our students. For more information please see https://www.thi.de/studium/sprachenzentrum.

THI does not run any student housing – neither on-campus nor off-campus – and therefore cannot provide you with accommodation. Here you can find more information on finding accommodation: Accomodation in Ingolstadt.

Our International Office is established especially for the international academic programs. The International Office provides an all-round service to help you with all necessary prearrangements for the organization of your study and everyday life in Ingolstadt.
