FAQs

 

You have three chances to pass an exam, when you sit it for the third time you are required to pass otherwise you cannot continue on your chosen course and will be  deregistered. You could possibly begin another degree course at DIT,  or start to study at another university. The examination committee will decide if you can begin another degree course in a higher semester or if you must start from the beginning. All this depends of course on your legal obligations if you are not an EU citizen. Please be aware that for every application an individual application must be made.

We recommend that you contact the International Office and your assistant in the faculty to talk about your options.

You could also use our exam support und psycho social support.

 

You are not qualified to repeat you studies on same course at DIT again.

It is possible to apply at DIT for the first semester and a higher semester for other degree programmes (during the application deadlines)

If you wish to change to a degree programme at another university, please contact the university of your choice directly to find out whether a change is possible.

If you have not sent an application during the application deadlines, please enquire at DIT or other universities about an extended application deadline.

 

Changing universities in Bavaria is no problem with regard to the course of studies and the examination regulations in the same degree programme.

However, the prerequisite is a timely application for enrolment or admission to the host university and de-registration at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology.

Changing from a Bavarian university to a non-Bavarian university or vice versa will, however, pose problems in most cases. In addition to the recognition of the higher education entrance qualification, difficulties may also arise in the recognition of study periods and examination credits already earned due to the different curricula and the differing examination regulations.

After passing the Bachelor's examination, graduates of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology are entitled to transfer to a university, university of the arts or comprehensive university without restriction to one subject area.

The individual requirements for enrolement in a subject area at the university concerned remain unaffacted.

Yes, a change of course is generally possible. Please use the regular online application procedure. Admission to the first semester follows after the normal selection process and admissions to higher semesters are only possible when there are free places on the chosen course and all prerequisites are fulfilled.

Any previous exam results will be reviewed and credited wherever possible during the enrolment process.

Contact: international-office@th-deg.de

 

If the standard study period is exceeded by more than two semesters, all bachelor's and master's exams for which have not yet been taken for the first time are evaluated as failed due to absence.

We recommend that you sit all the appropiate exams as described in the Academic Regulations, so you don't get behind with your credits.

Contact the International Office and your assistant in the faculty to talk about your options.
