The Deggendorf University of Technology (THD) is a university of applied sciences in Deggendorf in Lower Bavaria with around 7,000 students (as of winter semester 2019/20). In addition to the campus in Deggendorf, the university has an English-speaking campus in Pfarrkirchen and eleven research campuses in Eastern Bavaria . The Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences focuses on the areas of business , technology , digitization and health .
history
The THD was founded in 1994 as the Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences . In 1998 the new university campus on the Danube was moved into. After being awarded the title of Technical University by the Bavarian Cabinet, Deggendorf University was renamed today's Deggendorf University of Technology , or THD for short , on October 1, 2013 . The English name is Deggendorf Institute of Technology ( DIT ). It still has the status of a technical college.
In 2014, the largest part of the extension in Deggendorf was opened with a total of more than 5700 square meters of new usable space.
In 2015 the Deggendorf University of Technology opened the European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI) in Pfarrkirchen. It is the first entirely English-speaking university location in Bavaria.
