The Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) is a public, research-based Fachhochschule in Germany that is situated in Ingolstadt. It was established in 1994, with about 6,500 students enrolled across its five colleges, and provides more than 80 academic programs.

The THI offers more than 80 courses of study in the five faculties of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering and Management and at the THI Business School. The Hochschule Ingolstadt is one of the strongest research universities in the field of applied science universities in Germany.
Dual studies are possible at the THI in the undergraduate Bachelor's as well as in the Master programme. There are two modes of study: joint studies and studies with in-depth practical experience. In joint studies, the course is combined with vocational training (IHK/HWK degree). Studies with in-depth practical experience combine studying at the THI with periods of practical experience in a company without completion of vocational training.
With over 140 partner institutions, seven English-language bachelor's and master's level courses, and corporate partners globally, the THI has access to a wide network internationally. The THI's strong international orientation is also demonstrated by the variety of multi-year research programs and collaboration with international partners.
The academic training at the THI also offers corporate programs for the qualification needs of partner companies such as BMW, Siemens, Daimler, Allianz or the regional clinic. Thus, around 120 companies regularly participate in the research projects of the THI, including large corporations such as Audi, BMW, Continental, Siemens as well as numerous SMEs and other research institutions.
