Caution: THD's own per-programme table shows most full-time Bachelor's programmes actually run to 15 September (see added row below); a few Bachelor's and Master's programmes list 15 June, 31 August, or other dates instead. Always check the specific programme page. €60 application fee covers multiple programme choices; enrolled students additionally pay a €500 per-semester service fee.

| Winter semester — most full-time Bachelor's degree programmes (per the university's own programme-by-programme table), direct application via Primuss | 15 September | New: added because THD's own programme table shows this later date for the majority of full-time Bachelor's programmes (e.g. Business Administration, Business Informatics, Circular Engineering, Mechanical Engineering), differing from the general 15 July summary above.

## About

Deggendorf is a Bavarian town in the Danube valley — smaller and quieter than Augsburg or Nuremberg, with cost of living around €450–600 per month for shared housing. It's a working town, not a tourism hub, with a real local community and direct access to tech and engineering employers across Bavaria's industrial belt.

## Strengths

- International tuition of €6,000 per year is modest compared to most European private universities and far below UK or US fees.
- As a public university of applied sciences in Bavaria, it focuses on hands-on engineering and IT education with strong industry ties.
- Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa lets graduates stay and search for work across the EU after completing their degree.
- International students in Germany may work 120 full days or 240 half days per year, supporting themselves during studies.
- An IELTS minimum of 6.0 makes admission accessible for CIS applicants who studied English but did not reach higher band targets.
- Bavaria's dense small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) manufacturing economy offers engineering and IT students solid internship and graduate employment prospects in the region.

## Watch out for

- Germany requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 per year as financial proof of funds for a student visa — capital must be available upfront.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory course (Studienkolleg) before enrolling in a degree programme.
- Deggendorf is a small city with a limited international social scene; students seeking a large urban environment or diverse nightlife will find it modest.
- Daily life, administration, and many bachelor-level courses in Germany are conducted in German, creating a significant language barrier beyond English-taught modules.
- €6,000 per year is low by European standards but still a real cost — unlike Germany's fully tuition-free public universities, this university charges non-EU fees.
