The Language Centre plays a key role in the internationalisation of DIT. Students, staff members and external participants can take the opportunity to polish, expand and deepen their foreign language skills, and through our elective (AWP) courses, students acquire essential methodological and social skills as well as orientation knowledge, which are highly valued in the world of work.
Lecture schedules for the winter semester 2025/26:
In almost every degree programme, you are required to take one or more elective (AWP) courses or so-called compulsory languages in addition to your regular lectures before completing your studies. You can find out when elective (AWP) courses and compulsory languages are scheduled in your degree programme not only from our overview but also from the study and examination regulations that apply to you.
Each elective (AWP) course and each compulsory language may only be selected once. For example, if you selected the same language a second time, it must differ from your first choice either in content (title) or in level. Ultimately, what matters is not when you complete them, but that by the end of your studies you have successfully taken ALL the prescribed elective (AWP) courses and compulsory languages.
Course levels refer to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Please note that therefore, all language courses require at least 75% lecture attendance to be permitted to the examination (see General Examination Regulations Sect. 4 Para. 3).
75% attendance equals ...
... 12 absent times* for courses with 8 weekly semester hours (SWS)
If this limit is exceeded, the Centre for Studies will notify you by e-mail of your examination exclusion.
It is not necessary to report your absences. However, do make sure to keep medical certificates and other documentation justifying your absences until the end of the semester.
Please note that the range of courses varies from semester to semester.
Before the semester begins, you can register for compulsory language courses, elective (AWP) courses, and voluntary subjects.
If you are unsure about which courses to choose and when, please refer to the overviews for languages and electives.
Please note that courses can only be offered with a minimum of 15 participants.
The exact dates and further details on registration will be announced by e-mail.

The Tandem language exchange offers you the chance to learn a foreign language in an intercultural and authentic way. Two or more student(s) team up to teach each other their native languages and exchange experiences. Design your own programme and monitor your own progress, independent of a curriculum or textbook. It is up to you to ensure your own learning success, to plan your work and to monitor your progress. The Tandem programme also requires fair play: you can only expect the same level of commitment from your language partner as you demonstrate yourself.
The Tandem programme places you in an authentic one-to-one situation with someone who speaks a different native language. In addition to the four language skills (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral and written expression), you will also develop intercultural skills. There is no specific location; participants can meet wherever they like: in the park or at home while cooking for example!
You can register for the Tandem programme at the information event at the beginning of the semester, or simply register by e-mail to tandem@th-deg.de.
Next information event: 15. Sept. 2025, 1.00 p.m., online
Please register for the Tandem examination on iLearn during the regular examination registration period.
Exchange students receive one ECTS credit and a certificate of participation if they successfully complete the Tandem programme.Regular students who successfully complete the Tandem programme will receive a certificate of participation and it will be listed as a voluntary subject in their transcript of records.
How it works:
1. Meet at least 11 times during the semester (same time and day, if possible)
2. Spend 45 minutes on each language per meeting, 90 mins in total
3. Keep a vocabulary list, at least 10 words per meeting in native and target language (a total of at least 110 words by the end of the semester)
4. Keep notes of the meeting -> note material and learning outcomes
5. Nimm an einem der zwei Tandem-Info-Treffen teil
6. Upload the vocabulary list and the summary sheet to iLearn or submit the documents via e-mail to tandem@th-deg.de at the end of the semester
If you have any question regarding the tandem programme, simply send and e-mail to tandem@th-deg.de
Since the 2014 summer semester, international students at DIT have been regularly performing German-language literature. All members of the 'THEATRE’ group share a love for the German language and for theatre. If you have any questions about participation, please contact Dr. Virginia Wallner.
Past production: Der Edelmann aus der Mancha - summer semester 2019
The origin: Don Quijote de la Mancha
1605/1615 Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
The plot revolves around the adventures of a noble from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and decides to become a knight-errant to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood ...
The production: The Nobleman from the Mancha
In this production, Don Quixote is in the psychiatric ward of a hospital. He thinks the nurse is Sancho Panza and relives all his life's adventures with the nurse by his side ...
The doctor is not sure whether Don Quixote's abnormality is treatable, because he refuses to believe he is a patient ... but maybe it is not Don Quixote who needs help??
Past production: Blaubarts Geheimnis oder was Frauen daran ändern können... - winter semester 2018/19
The myth of Bluebeard
A wealthy, old widower of a noble position with a blue beard is now looking for a seventh wife. Seduced by his wealth, a young woman leaves her family and marries Bluebeard. In his castle, Bluebeard lets her know that she has all the treasures and may enter all rooms. When he travels, he leaves the key to her. She is only denied access to a small chamber. However, the young woman cannot resist and enters the forbidden chamber where she finds the bodies of the six previous wives. Terrified, she drops the key, which now has a bloody stain that can no longer be removed. When Bluebeard returns, he looks at the key and realises what has happened, therefore he tries to murder his seventh wife. Luckily, she is saved by her brothers who hurry over, they murder Bluebeard and his widow inherits his fortune.
The production
The version created for this production is completely different as the original plot was used exclusively as a starting point. The Bluebeard story serves as a metaphor for the strength of all women who, despite all emancipations, still have to sometimes fight for freedom.

German prep courses for international applicants.
Fadi Sami Snobar, Jordan:
Before I came to Germany, I was looking for an intensive German course that would give me the opportunity to successfully start an engineering degree in Germany. I fond the "Let's get started" course in Deggendorf, which gave me exactly this opportunity. I attended the course from 15 March to 30 September 2015. During this time I not only got to know a lot of German but also many people from all over the world. In the winter semester 2015/2016 I started to study mechatronics at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Thanks to "Let's get started" the beginning of my studies was not that difficult, because we learned many scientific terms in the subjects mathematics, physics and computer science already in the course. I am now in my third semester and passed the previous semesters successfully.
Catherine Tenorio Rodriguez, Colombia:
After two semesters of General Engineering at DIT, I wanted to perfect my German by taking part in the preparatory semester "Let's get started". So I started the programme on 17 March, 2015. At the end of July I successfully passed the TestDaF exam. In October of the same year I started the study "Resources and Environmental Management" at DIT. I find this preparatory course with its practical learning methods by highly qualified professors very efficient. During the course, reading and listening comprehension are practised very intensively. In addition, great importance is attached to correct writing and speaking during the course. We were students from different countries and yet we always spoke German in class. I find that very important. Furthermore, there was always a great atmosphere in the course and it was great fun. So I can recommend "Let's get started" 100% to other students.
Huai Zhe Chia, Malaysia:
I was informed by fellow students about the possibility of a German preparation course at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Therefore I completed the "Let's get Started" German preparation course in the summer semester 2016. I had mainly satisfying and wonderful experiences not only with the course but also with my whole stay here in Deggendorf. Personally, I think that the course is very well structured. The lecturers have helped us to practice the course materials intensively. For me the content of the course was interesting and informative. In addition, the lecturers are very friendly and helpful. I am infinitely grateful for them because without them I could not have passed the exam that well. Furthermore, the people here in Deggendorf are friendly and nice. I have had some unforgettable experiences and they have impressed me very much. At the moment, I'm studying full-time here at the university in the mechatronics course and so far I'm doing quite well. Nevertheless, I am very much looking forward to my student life here in Deggendorf. Above all, I feel very happy that I have the opportunity to study here.
Krastyo Stoychev, Bulgaria:
My name is Krastyo Stoychev and I come from Bulgaria. I came to Germany five years ago to study engineering. Since my German language skills were not sufficient, I first took part in the preparation course "Let's get started" in 2012. "Let's get started" gave me the right start for my studies. The comprehensive course programme not only improved my German language skills, but also taught me the basics in all the main subjects. Furthermore, "Let's get started" familiarised me with the German university system. In addition to the lessons, there were also numerous excursions and cultural events where you could see the sights of Germany. "Let's get started" was like a family for all participants because of the commitment and friendliness of the lecturers and organisers. Thanks to the preparatory semester, I successfully completed my Bachelor's degree Electrical Engineering within the standard period of study and currently I am continuing my studies in the master's degree at Deggendorf Institute of Technology. "Let's get started" - no other way leads faster to a successful study.

An elective (AWP) course is a compulsory elective subject of a general academic nature ("Allgemeinwissenschaftliches Wahlpflichtfach") prescribed in the study and examination regulations, which must be successfully completed. You can choose from the following three main areas:
The range of courses varies each semester; not every course is offered every semester. Current courses can always be found in the course schedule for elective (AWP) and language courses.
A compulsory language course, like an elective (AWP) course, is prescribed in the study and examination regulations for the respective degree programme and must be successfully completed by the end of your studies. It accounts for 2–5 ECTS credits and is included in the overall average grade.
If you have already completed all the required elective (AWP)/compulsory language courses, or if none are prescribed for your degree programme, you may—subject to availability of places—of course take such courses voluntarily.
Voluntary subjects can always be selected at the beginning of the semester. No ECTS credits are awarded for voluntarily taken courses, and they are not included in the overall average grade.
It is not possible to retrospectively “exchange” a voluntary additional course for an elective (AWP) course or a compulsory language course. The grade of the course you choose as an elective (AWP) /compulsory language course counts and cannot be changed afterwards.
Yes, it is possible and may even be a requirement in some degree programmes. If you are interested in taking an examination in a language held rather infrequently, please make sure at the beginning of the semester if this course is offered at all. For organisational reasons, a minimum of 15 students is required to establish a course.
If you need to change the course you have registered for or the group within a course due to justified reasons, please send a short request with your matriculation number, your degree programme, the course and the reason to sprachenzentrum@th-deg.de.
Reasons for changing courses:
Lecture overlap with compulsory subjects or other elective (AWP) courses
Other university obligations
The following reasons CANNOT be taken into account:
Carpools
Side jobs
Other private matters
Changing groups
No, unfortunately this is not possible and is only permitted in absolutely exceptional cases. Please contact us by e-mail to sprachenzentrum@th-deg.de in order to clarify whether your case falls into this category.
If your lecture schedule allows it, you can also prepone or postpone subjects.
Please pay particular attention to the course times to avoid overlapping lectures.
Since, if you are not scheduled to take an elective (AWP) course or language course, there are no free time slots planned for this in your lecture schedule!
It is important that you have completed all required elective (AWP) and compulsory language courses by the end of your degree programme.
In this case, you will have to retake the examination in the second attempt in the following semester, or in a third attempt within one year.
To do this, please register for the “repeat examination” during the examination registration period. If the course is offered during the semester
of your second or third attempt, you will be able to take the regular semester examination. In case the course is not offered, a repeat examination
date will be set specifically for this purpose. Please note that repeat examinations may already take place earlier during the semester.
The following applies to our language courses: As you have already fulfilled the attendance requirement, it is entirely up to you whether you
attend the course or not. Nevertheless, it is often helpful to discuss examination content with the lecturer in preparation, or to participate in
the course again during the last few weeks before the examination date. Take note of which lecturer is conducting the respective course in the
current semester, who will then also hold the examination. In case the course is not offered in the current semester, one of the lecturers at the
Language Centre will be responsible for the examination
If you have already taken an exam in a language or elective (AWP) course in another degree programme at this or another university, you can apply for a recognition of academic achievements.
Please submit all documents required in accordance with the Checklist for the Recognition of Academic Achievements to the Language Centre.
Please use the following form for the recognition of language and elective (AWP) courses: Request for recognition
Applications for the recognition of academic achievements in the Language Centre must be submitted via email or personally to Julia Vollbrecht in office ITC2 2.38 no later than by the end of the lecture period of the semester in which enrolment or a change in degree programme took place (Section 4 IV 2 APO).
Vhb courses can also be recognised under specific conditions. Any possible recognition should be clarified in advance with Julia Vollbrecht.
No, a later recognition is unfortunately not possible. You need to decide which type of credit you would like to receive for the subject the moment you register for the examination at the latest.
No, unfortunately this is not possible. The grade of the course you first chose as elective (AWP)/compulsory language course counts and cannot be changed later on. It is also not possible to subsequently “exchange” the AdA certificate (“Ausbildung der Ausbilder”; i.e. train-the-trainer certificate) for an elective (AWP) course, if you have already completed your required elective (AWP) course.
You may only deregister from an elective (AWP) course or a compulsory language course if you have not yet written an examination in the course or have not yet received a grade for it, and if it is still possible to deregister (7 days before the examination date at the latest).
If an elective (AWP) course or a compulsory language course is scheduled for a particular semester, the faculty blocks the elective (AWP) and language course time slots in the corresponding semester (DEG: Mon. + Wed., 4th + 5th + 6th slot / ECRI: Tue., 4th + 5th + 6th slot and Fri., 1st + 2nd + 3rd slot) to ensure there are no lecture overlaps and you can make your choice without hindrance. If you prepone or postpone courses, or voluntarily take additional courses, you are welcome to register for additional courses after matching the lecture schedules of elective (AWP) and language courses with your schedule of faculty lectures, provided there are still places available in those courses.

Semester courses
In addition to the regular language courses, which focus on reading, listening, writing and speaking skills, we also offer additional courses covering areas such as text production or conversation and presentation. Another opportunity for language learning is our special type of language course: the tandem programme (language exchange).
We also welcome the participation of non-students in language courses during the semester. To register as an external participant, please contact the Language Centre at sprachenzentrum@th-deg.de. Admission to the courses takes place exclusively at the beginning of each semester and only if places are still available.
Intensive courses
Two-week intensive language courses regularly take place in lecture free periods. The content of a 4-SWS regular semester course is covered, which corresponds to about 60 teaching units of 45 minutes each. Generally, the intensive courses run daily from 8am - 1pm, with an examination on the last course day. Find out more at intensive language courses - How to learn German.
Of course! Our fee-based intensive language courses are offered at the end of each semester break. You will have to decide which type of credit you would like to receive when selecting the course: either as elective (AWP) course, compulsory language course or voluntary subject (without ECTS credits). The course fee is to be paid no later than on the first day of the course at the terminal in building B.
During the regular semester, external participants can also attend German courses (German as a foreign language) at our university.
All intensive language courses are also open to external participants (subject to availability).
External participants do not qualify for student status. More detailed information on registration and fees.
Send us an e-mail: sprachenzentrum@th-deg.de
Dates for examination registration are announced on the DIT website. As with other examinations, registration for language and elective (AWP) examinations takes place via the Primuss portal.
When registering for the examinations, please ensure that you register for the correct module (e.g. Key Competencies, Business Language, Foreign Language, elective (AWP) course, etc.) in order to receive the ECTS credits.
PLEASE NOTE: Each Elective (AWP) and language examination can also be registered as a voluntary subject. In this case, you will not receive any ECTS credits. We therefore ask you to check each registration again and contact us if necessary.
Subsequent changes are not possible!
Admission requirements for language examinations
Please note that a minimum of 75% attendance is required for admission to sit an examination (see general examination regulations Section 4 (3)).
If you need to resit a language or elective (AWP) examination, the usual deadlines apply. Any failed first attempt must be retaken after 12 months at the latest. Any failed second attempt must be retaken in the following semester after 6 months at the latest. To resit the examination, please register during the relevant examination registration period.
Since the attendance requirement was fulfilled in a previous semester, you can decide yourself if you want to attend the required language course again. However, it is helpful to discuss the examination content with the respective lecturer in preparation for the examination, or participate in the last classes before the examination.
Lecturers can vary from semester to semester. The language lecturer for the current course creates and grades the examination. If the course isn't scheduled for the current semester, the resitexamination will be set by a lecturer from the Language Centre, if necessary.
