“€60 application fee (multiple applications possible without further payment) at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology”
www.th-deg.de/en/apply · checked 14 November 2026
Charged only to applicants who are not German, EU or EEA nationals. The German fee page words it as "Bewerbungsgebühren in Höhe von pauschal 60 Euro" per application phase.
- Places
- Selection procedure
Source
“Successful completion of the aptitude test. … There are 20 places available in the program.”
www.th-deg.de/ai-m-en · checked 7 November 2026
The page names 20 places but publishes no ranking rule or grade cut-off, and the university states it runs no NC programme, so this is recorded as a scored selection procedure rather than a ranked quota.
Admission
What you need to apply
- 3-year bachelor’s
- Accepted with conditions

“für den weniger als 210 ECTS-Punkte, jedoch mindestens 180 ECTS- Punkte vergeben … 30 ECTS-Punkte nachweisbar.”

180-209 ECTS is admissible, but proof of the missing credits (max 30 ECTS) is a condition for passing the master's examination and must be obtained by the start of the third semester, via an additional internship or relevant undergraduate university courses.
- Subject background
- A bachelor's or Diplom degree in computer science or a related field, or an equivalent degree; the examination commission decides on equivalence. Professional experience after the first degree is not required.

“A qualifying Bachelor's degree in an engineering or information technology field (B.Sc. or B.Eng.) or in a related degree program.”

The SPO wording is "der Fachrichtung Informatik oder verwandter Fachrichtungen mit 210 ECTS-" "Punkten oder ein gleichwertiger Abschluss".
- Minimum grade
- No minimum GPA. In the master's SPOs a German final grade of about 2.5 or better can exempt an applicant from the aptitude test.

Neither the page nor the SPO names the Bavarian formula or any conversion of foreign grades; the SPO only says the examination commission decides on the equivalence of degrees and grade levels.
- English
- Level B2. IELTS 5.5 in every section · TOEFL iBT 72 · Home Edition not accepted · Duolingo not accepted · PTE 59. Cambridge: First Certificate in English (FCE) at B2. B2 band in the campus table: TOEFL iBT 72-94, IELTS 5.5-6.5 in each section, PTE Academic 59-75, TOEIC listening 400-485 and reading 385-450, telc B2. Also accepted: Cambridge English, CET, GMAT, LanguageCert International ESOL, Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level. Only the internet-based TOEFL (iBT) counts, with the Test Date Score rather than MyBest Score; IELTS Indicator and all Home Editions are rejected. Certificates must be less than 2 years old.. Exemption: One exemption, without a request: a German university entrance qualification (Abitur, Fachhochschulreife etc., obtained in Germany or at a German school abroad) with English as a graduating subject, and it covers B2 only, not C1. 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".
- German
- Not needed when applying. During studies: A German course at B1 part 1+2 must be completed as part of the compulsory AWP modules. By graduation: A2

Neither source mentions GRE or GMAT. Recorded as not stated rather than inferring "not required" from silence.
- Other required tests
- dMAT (Indian applicants to a master's programme, from summer semester 2027)
Source
“Indian applicants to a master’s program must provide proof of having taken the Digital Master Test (dMAT).”
www.th-deg.de/en/apply · checked 14 November 2026
The page ties the requirement to summer semester 2027 and prints a deadline of 15 September 2026, which had already passed on 2026-11-07; DIT does not say whether the deadline recurs annually.
- Selection
- A written aptitude test (may be held online) on mathematics and computer science, held every semester, with 20 study places. The selection commission may waive the test for an overall result of 2.5 or better or for above-average knowledge of mathematics and computer science. A failed test may be repeated once in the following semester. No interview and no motivation letter.

“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.

- India: Indian applicants must submit a certificate from the Academic Evaluation Service (APS) of the German Embassy in New Delhi with their application.

“For applicants from the People's Republic of China, India and Vietnam, special admission requirements apply for studying at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Accordingly, a certificate of the Academic Evaluation Service (APS) of the German Embassy in Beijing, New Delhi or Hanoi is required.”

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.
- India: Indian applicants to a master's programme must prove they have taken the Digital Master Test (dMAT), starting with the summer semester 2027 intake.

DIT says the requirement "applies to numerous programs" without naming them, so it is recorded on every master's programme; the page prints a deadline of 15 September 2026, which had already passed on 2026-11-07, and does not say whether it recurs annually.
