The faculty has good links to research activities on the university’s own Technology Campus; consecutive Master’s degree programme available in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Electromobility and Computer Science. Accredited by ASIIN; Teaching supported by the DegTrepE project funded by a federal and state programme. In addition, a linkage and combination of virtual (e.g. online lectures with teams or Zoom, virtual courses on our iLearn learning management-platform) and non-virtual (e.g. classroom instruction) learning settings is essential and largely standardised for modern and innovative teaching.

Bavaria’s most international university with 34% ‘Internationals’, especially in the Master’s area, a high number of international students; 200 partner universities in 59 countries, various events for and with international students, e.g. International Internship Day, International Week and ‘Taste the World’, support for stays abroad for German students and scholarships for foreign students from the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, Science and the Arts.

Among other things, the department offers 3 computer rooms with up-to-date software, 25 laboratories with the best technical equipment, the basis for up-to-date, practically-oriented, training in engineering, such as laboratories for electrical metrology, electromagnetic compatibility, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and semiconductor analysis, and also has considerable investment funding for large-scale equipment. In addition, the laboratories serve as the basis for many of THD’s research and development projects and thus offer students possibilities for Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.

The THD Startup Campus supports business start-ups at the university and provides support for company founders, from the initial idea to the company foundation. For advice, a team of experts (e.g. Institute for Business Start-ups and Entrepreneurship, Career Service) is available to students with many helpful tips for further steps, such as marketing, financing and funding. Founders can use the offices, the co-working space and the seminar room here. A particularly creative working environment has been created. The Startup Lab is open to all.

The higher education system in Deggendorf is based on a unique concept: the Technology Campus (TC). Since 2009, THD has been gradually establishing these special research facilities in the adjoining districts. There, experts work in close cooperation with high-tech companies to develop application-related special solutions. The focus of this institutional work is on the symbiosis of scientific research and its economic application. There is also an extensive range of continuing-education courses for career-integrated studies and the option of module-based studies with certificates.
