Internationalisation at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt

Understanding internationalisation as a standard, this basic attitude is reflected in our offer of international Bachelor's and Master's degrees, subject-related foreign language courses and elective subjects dealing with international and intercultural topics as part of any study programme. This variety of programmes and components is supported by the introduction of international degree programmes such as "Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence", "User Experience Design" (Master), “Retail and Consumer Management”, “International Automotive Engineering”, "Automotive Production Engineering", "Renewable Energy Systems" and "Engineering and Management".

Close co-operation with the international coordinator of each faculty as well as the university board guarantees continuous development. Thus, at a steadily thriving university location, numerous synergy effects develop between teaching, research and management which we are pleased to support in a service-oriented manner.

The International Office of Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt supports all international activities with various offers and in manifold ways.

Going Abroad

At the moment, more than one in three graduates of Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt has spent at least one semester of study or internship abroad. The aim is to maintain this proportion continuously, even with sharply rising student numbers. This is an extremely ambitious goal of our university which is mainly based on the fact that intercultural competencies and global thinking started to play a major role for the professional careers of our graduates. International Office helps students with all necessary arrangements before and during their studies and stay abroad.

We advise you on the following topics:

  • Information on theoretical or practical semesters abroad
  • Support with the application procedure, valuable tips and contacts for a successful application
  • Information on financial support
