To help you settle in quickly on campus, we have summarized all the important first steps to starting your studies below:

- As a rule, courses at DIT have a virtual course room on the university's own learning platform iLearn. Here you can find, for example, course content and up-to-date information from your lecturers. You can log in to iLearn with your university account..
How to find your way around the learning platform is explained here: Video on how to log in to iLearn for the first time. You can also find help and tips on digital teaching in this iLearn-course. - With your university account, you can also log in to the personalized website area my.th-deg.de. There you will have access to your individualized lecture schedule and the most important portals and news for your studies. Find out more about my.th-deg.de here: what is my.th-deg.de?

Freshers' Days and Veilchengassenfest 2023
At the start of the winter semester 2023/24 the so-called "Quietschietage" (Freshers' Days) took place for the first time for our first-semester students to give them the perfect start to their studies.
The colourful supporting programme, which included a tour of the campus, introductions to student clubs, table football and university cinema, gave students the opportunity to start their studies with lots of fun while getting to know fellow students and visiting courses relevant to their studies before they start.
The crowning finale of the Quietschietage 2023 was the Veilchengassenfest in the university mile of Deggendorf - with street food, exhibitions, live music and a great atmosphere.
The next Quietschietage will take place again at the start of the winter semester 2025/26.
Below you will find impressions of the Quietschietage and the Veilchengassenfest 2023 at Campus Deggendorf:
