- Open campus, no hassle for entering, no walls, no doors, no locks; anyone can join the library.
- Perfectly connected to nature; due to presence of no boundaries, nature seems everywhere and never-ending
- No attendance needed; you can chose which subjects to study each semester and which exam to give each semester. your education is completely controlled by you.
Dislikes
- There is nothing in particular I don't dislike; I mean, no place is perfect, and we should learn to adapt and find peace where we are. As such, I have not encountered any bad experiences. So right now I don't have anything in the top of my head that recalls any bad memory or service regarding the college.
- Coming here and learning how to use all the it services like student mail, DIT website and ilearn could be a bit confusing.
- Finding the classes could be a bit trying and confusing too, as the campus is located in the city center, a corporate building, and the main campus. Navigating between them is fun when you are full of energy and the weather is nice, which in my experience never has been super good. HAHAH
Scholarship
- I did not receive any scholarship, but there are many scholarships here, and they're for everybody depending on your social and financial conditions. My friend Sans gets 300 euros every month from a Deutschpidum scholarship.
- The students are limited, as the number of students has grown by 10x and the amount depends on the scholarship and your financial conditions.
Likes
- Located right next to the river Donau in Deggendorf makes for a calming atmosphere.
- Friendly and helpful staff and faculty members.
- Facilities like the library and cafeteria(Mensa) are very well maintained.
Dislikes
- Located in a small town/village, connectivity from other places might be an issue especially when there is bad weather.
- Language barrier is strong as this is a small town and not many people speak good English.
- Campus does not include a dedicated sports ground or a sports arena, even though there are plenty, but not just in the campus itself
Scholarship
- I am not aware of scholarships that much because the overall fee itself is less in German universities, but then I did hear about some scholarships where if one studied for a semester and he is facing hardships, he can contact the university further.
- Till now none of my batchmates have applied for any kind of scholarship, as they are managing their expenses by doing part-time jobs.
- I would suggest the students who are in need of scholarships directly contact the university, and they would guide them further on.
Likes

Dislikes
- More practical courses could be appreciated, and industrial visits must be planned more often. An appropriate amount of national and international students would be good.
Overview
I chose this college while keeping in mind multiple factors like Course Curriculum, University Fee, Country, International exposure etc. My overall experience was good with respect to the course curriculum, practical experience, lab, professors, international exposure, and extracurricular activities.
Likes
- Small campus, so faculty is easily accessible.
Dislikes
- Since it is a small campus and a small town, limited housing and part-time jobs.
Overview
The reason why I chose this is due to the interdisciplinary and industry-ready course structure. It has courses on state-of-the-art technologies like 3d printing, Autonomous driving, robotics and ARVR. Job perspective was also higher in this course and the course structure was only 3 semesters.
Likes

- University is relatively new but innovative, there are multiple research projects that are going on in the university in collaboration with many big german manufacturers.
- Modern Infrastructure and supportive staff that sums it up to a healthy and friendly environment.
Dislikes
- There is nothing that I find worse or not acceptable but there is no university which is perfect.
- Shortage of accommodation options and less frequency of public transport in some campuses made it inconvenient and a waste of time but could be solvable if some can travel with private means of transport.
Overview
I chose this college because of it's modern course curriculum, they provide variety of options to specialize and build career, easy to switch lines after bachelor via this course. The journey at DIT was like a roller coaster ride or I can say full of adventure which i enjoyed a lot over the time. Have learnt a lot of new things and developed myself for the modern industry with good knowledge of the latest technologies.
Likes
- I applied randomly for a lot of universities and particular courses among the one's I preferred. This University had so many courses I was eligible for.
- The classes and teachings. The extra curricular activities. Curriculum. Professors Student life balancing the studies and work. Not much pressure on studies rather they help mentally and gives positive responses for students.
Dislikes
- I don't dislike anything here. The only thing is the public transport here which runs few times. Other than that there is nothing wrong or anything to be disliked here.
Overview
The university is situated in ourskirts of the area and reaching there is a crucial task as public transport is only once in an hour. But you can have your private vehicle or cycle and get there easily because the whole area is small. The classes and the resources provided are very good and case studies help us get to know into subjects really good. The professors are really helpful and understanding and they help us in any way possible. All the students are extremely friendly and into activities and fun. Overall I would say the experience here is wonderful.
Likes
- There was no tuition fee, although there was a 62€ Student Union fee. However, starting from the April 2023 semester, they began charging a fee of 500€ plus 72€ for the Student Union.
- The syllabus appears to be easier compared to other renowned institutes. The university provides extra time to complete courses under certain circumstances. I believe I've shared enough points above, and overall, I'm happy to have enrolled and completed my master's at DIT.
Dislikes
- This was my only experience of education outside India and I am pretty happy to complete my masters in this University.
Overview
Professors and mentors are easy to approach. The canteen, often referred to as "Mensa," is available at every university, I believe. The university encourages innovation and ideas, providing a platform for students with startup ideas. The student union team organizes timely events for refreshments. Weekly sports activities are arranged for students, including swimming, badminton, football, table tennis, beach volleyball, chess, and more. Overall, I believe it's an ideal university for those interested not only in studies but also in sports and fitness.
