Welcome
to Bavaria's most international University of Applied Sciences
The Deggendorf Institute of Technology offers the interested public a wide range of opportunities to expand their knowledge. If you would like to deepen your education in individual areas without going through a complete degree programme, or if you would like to learn a language, you have come to the right place. You can choose from the following options to acquire new skills or deepen your knowledge.
Modules
DIT offers a modular course of study to impart current and practice-oriented knowledge at university level. Students who are interested in further education and prospective students can choose selected modules (individual courses or courses combined to a module) of in the fields of:
- Economy
- Technology
- Health
- Computer Science
to improve their personal qualifications or further develop their career and conclude with an examination at the end. From the regular range of courses offered by DIT, modules of the Bachelor's and Master's programmes, which are not admission restricted, can be taken upon application.
If you would like to test out of several courses before starting a regular course to find out which course suits you the best, you can participate in our Orientation Studies.
Furthermore, DIT's Further Education Centre offers not only full-time but also numerous part-time courses of study and certificate courses as an opportunity for further qualification. A wide range of courses and modules can be taken from this offer. The crediting of completed modules towards a later full or part-time study is possible. We would like to point out that since the abolition of tuition fees, fees have to be paid for courses offered by the Weiterbildungszentrum.
You are welcome to contact our study counselling service for further information.
After successful completion of a module, the module student receives a certificate with grade and the ECTS points achieved. Modules of up to 30 ECTS points can be completed in one semester.
The modules are designed in such a way that they can be taken and completed either in one or in two consecutive semesters. A module can also be spread over several courses (lectures, exercises) on different days of the week.
Modules are offered either as regular attendance courses, partly also as evening or weekend courses, or as e-learning modules, so that you can organise your learning phases as individually as possible - besides work and family - and at the same time expand your professional network. The timetables for the respective semester will be announced shortly before the start of the semester.
Every enrolled student has access to the e-learning courses of the Virtual University of Bavaria.
Module students are provided with a changing offer of (intensive) language courses every semester. Language courses can only be taken in connection with a regular course.
Like all students, module students are registered as students for the respective semester and must re-register if they wish to take further modules in the next semester.
- Important detailed information can be found in the module order.

Statements on the module study
"I am Dirk and I am 45 years old. After graduating from school I wanted to earn money and I did an apprenticeship as an electrical engineer. After ten years in the profession, I attended the technical school and successfully completed it. Now, in order to advance professionally, I would like to gain further qualifications and acquire career-relevant knowledge. First, I will attend two selected courses for one semester. Only after that I will decide to study part-time. Fortunately, my boss will support me in my plans."
"I am Katharina, 34 years old and come from Russia. After my high school graduation I came to Germany to study business administration, but then life intervened and I am a proud mother of two daughters. Now that both children are out of the woods, I have decided to take up my studies again. I will start "Business Management" for one semester as part of the modular study program and after that I will have the opportunity to finish my studies while working."

science bench
Science communication couldn't be more simple. A scientist or researcher on a bench. Add a few interested members of the public and they just discuss. 60 to 90 minutes. That's it. That's the Science Bench. A look at the society shows that there are people who are interested in science, but they would never go to an open university day. So if you want to reach these people, you have to get out of your secure bubble and go where the people are. This can be the pedestrian zone in a city centre.
All interested citizens are invited to the Science Bench. The Science Bench takes place at regular intervals at the Stadtplatz Deggendorf or at one of our other study locations. The exact dates and locations will be announced on our website.
