Contents
The industrial engineering program is characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity and combines the technical and scientific aspects of engineering with the business and management-oriented subfields of economics. This is combined with the methods of digitalization and with practical orientation in cooperation with local business enterprises. The content of the program is rounded off by the topic of sustainability, which is an important cross-sectional aspect of the entire curriculum.
This means that graduates are ideally prepared for operational tasks in globally networked companies! In the course of their studies, students choose to specialize in business&management, production&logistics or business intelligence&analytics. Here, there is enough time to find out one's own preferences and to make the right decision. Thus, this study program offers a future-oriented and - in the center of Bavaria - unique specialized education.

Quick Info
Admission and application
Application period for the winter semester is May 2. - July 15., for the summer semester November 15. - Feb. 15. 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.
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
Our graduates are working in professional areas like project management, product management, controlling, production, logistics and technical marketing.
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.
Service fees and Financing
As of winter semester 2024/25, THI charges service fees of 500 euros per semester for students from third countries (outside the EU and the EAA (European Economic Area)) . If you have any questions, please go to Contact for prospective students
Please note: No service fees for exchange students, visiting students, participants of summer school!
No general tuition fees - Student’s union contribution per semester only.
General information on scholarship:
Financing your study programme might be a big challenge for you. On our homepage you find different opportunities of financing your academic studies at our university. Link:
Please note that financial aid programmes are mostly not open to foreign students. For scholarships for students from abroad you may have a look here:
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/stipendium/datenbank/en/12359-finding-scholarships/ Public funding (BAföG) is only available to Germans and to EU citizens if they have spent a considerable part of their education in Germany. The university awards a scholarship called Deutschlandstipendium once a year which cannot fully cover living expenses. Additionally we have limited funds and support some international students for a maximum of one semester. Please do not actively approach the International Office on scholarships, once a year a call for application automatically reaches all international students.
Third party scholarship:
If you are an applicant from abroad, you may qualify for a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD): www.daad.de
If you are a German students we recommend to research for suitable scholarships on www.mystipendium.de
Please note that we cannot offer any guidance or support concerning scholarship applications.
We recommend that single students budget at least 700-900 EUR per month to meet personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, stay, books, semester contribution)
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.
Our cooperation in the CDHAW-program enables us to offer a double degree with the Tongji-University in Shanghai. Please find relevant information here.
Lecturers
Our professors are distinguished by the fact that they all have several years of experience in the industry and our students are thus taught by proven experts.
Practical training in our labs
Practical courses in laboratories of material technology, physics, data processing, production technology or working with engine test rigs are important components of the programme. The applied approach is supported by project studies that enable students to work under guidance of professors and together with companies on current operational problems. Students learn in this way to apply their theoretical knowledge to a complex professional environment while meeting at the same time possible future employers.
The module handbook contains information on prerequisites, contents, learning outcomes, ECTS points, duration, work load, literature, references of the offered modules and lectures.
