Flying hats and praise from the Deputy Prime Minister

Excitement, joy, relief - the graduates' emotions were clear to see. After all, last Friday was their big day, their farewell from THI as part of the Academic Ceremony and with it the start of a new phase in their lives. This was duly celebrated by THI in the Congress Centre.

THI President Professor Walter Schober bid them farewell: "With your degree from THI, you are excellently qualified. Now the world is open to you - you are our future. Seize opportunities and shape your life and our society. I wish you every success in this endeavor". Bavaria's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State Ulrike Scharf agreed: "Top-level research, internationalization, and the heart of the Bavarian mobility hub beat at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences. For the graduates, today's graduation is a milestone in their lives - congratulations! You are starting your professional life with a tailwind and a first-class education or are taking further academic steps. You have laid the foundation for your success with your degree from TH Ingolstadt. All the best for the future!"

This year, THI once again honored outstanding academic achievements: Prizes were awarded for the best doctoral, master's, and bachelor's degrees. In addition, the German Academic Exchange Service prize honors the outstanding achievements of an international student.

Students Hannah Eryazici and Manuel Bäuerle hosted the evening with humor and charm. Maria Nicolades feat. Rafro and Miss Vio-line provided the musical backdrop to the ceremony. Base Squad, the professional show dance crew from the Ingolstadt dance school Basement, delighted the audience with their dancing skills.

After the official farewell, "Die THI tanzt" transformed the assembly hall into a party location. To the sounds of Wamax, DJ Sqiz and Vanessa Jameson, a good 700 people partied until the early hours of the morning.
