The Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) is a German public university of applied sciences located in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. It was founded in 1994 as Fachhochschule Ingolstadt. It has been renamed to its current name in 2013. It still keeps its status as a Fachhochschule/HaW. Being one of the leading and prominent universities of applied sciences in the state of Bavaria, it was awarded a temporary and limited right to grant doctorates in 2023 despite not having the status of a research university. Its focus is on practical, creative, and professional education. It has six faculties: Business School, Electronics and Communication technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Sustainability, and Business and Engineering studies. It offers Bachelor, Master and Doctoral Degrees and has around 8,500 students and 900 staff. It is a very internationally oriented university with around 40% foreign students and more than 170 academic partnerships worldwide (2025). There are no university fees for European students. Non-EU countries students will be required to pay tuition fees, which are at €800 per semester for Bachelor’s and €1,200 for Master’s programs (2025). There are two terms: winter term starts on 1. October until 14. February and Summer term starts on 15. March until 30. September.
