Taught on the Deggendorf campus. The page adds that first-semester lectures may be attended either on campus or online at the lecturer's discretion ("A distinctive feature of the degree program is that first-semester lectures can be attended either on the Deggendorf campus or online from home"), with exams always on campus; semesters 2-7 are on campus, so the programme is recorded as on-campus rather than blended.

Scored procedure, not a quota: the average grade of the school-leaving qualification and the 90-minute written online test are each converted to 0–100 points and added with equal weight; 50 or fewer test points make the aptitude insufficient, and 100 or fewer points in total bring a rejection. 101 of 200 points are therefore needed, with no published number of places.

- A German university entrance qualification; holders of an international qualification are referred to the DAAD admission database. If the certificate does not qualify, DIT's Applications page offers one year at a home-country university or one year at a Studienkolleg (Bavaria: Coburg).

The exemption for proof of a completed degree programme conducted in English was withdrawn in November 2026; the application page now states that a Medium of Instruction certificate cannot be accepted.

The value is the lower end of the CEFR band the table prints, i.e. the minimum that satisfies the requirement, and the IELTS minimum applies to every section. Duolingo is not accepted: the DIT FAQ states "Duolingo English certificates will NOT be accepted".

“No, a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate cannot be accepted as proof of English language proficiency. An official English language certificate, such as IELTS or TOEFL, is mandatory for your application.”

Until November 2026 the prospective-students FAQ also exempted applicants who could show "Proof of completed degree programme conducted in English". That line has gone from the FAQ, the three campus language-requirement PDFs (version 04.11.2026) list only the German-qualification route in their English column, and the application page now answers the question whether Medium of Instruction certificates are accepted with no. The one exemption DIT still prints needs a German university entrance qualification with English as a graduating subject and covers B2 only, so it is not open to applicants from India, Nigeria or Pakistan.

The page points Indian applicants to https://aps-india.de. The certificate is due by the end of the application deadline: the prospective-students FAQ says "Your APS certficate and language certificate should be delivered by the end of application deadline." DIT no longer publishes the exception it used to state for applicants who are already in Europe, so none is recorded.
