The international profile of Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences is best reflected in its mission and targets. We are striving to meet the highest standards in all areas of research, teaching and management taking into account the increasing globalization and the educational expectations of our business environment and society.    

Taking internationalization for our natural mission, we provide a wide range of international Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs, subject-related foreign language courses and elective subjects dealing with international and intercultural topics. This variety of programmes and components is supported by the introduction of international degree programs like “International Retail Management” and “International Automotive Engineering”. 

At the moment, each third graduate from Ingolstadt University has spent at least one semester of study or internship abroad. Our target is to double the number of graduates with international experience until 2013. This is an extremely ambitious goal of our university which is mainly based on the fact that intercultural competencies and global thinking started to play a major role for the professional careers of our graduates. International Office helps students with all necessary arrangements before and during their studies and stay abroad.  

Our exchange scheme for students, lecturers and administrative staff includes cooperation projects with 55 partner universities and a large number of operating companies worldwide. Since the academic year 2001-2002 Ingolstadt University is a beneficiary of the European Union student exchange program ERASMUS.

International students are sincerely welcomed to study at our university. Excepting the Bachelor’s programme “International Retail Management” and the Master’s programme “International Automotive Engineering”, the language of instruction for all other programmes is German. Our permanent concern is to increase the number of lectures and programmes in English. Furthermore, we support the integration of our international students into the everyday life of our university through a variety of services.
