studying at campus cham

Campus Cham is growing rapidly. After only one Bachelor's degree programme was offered in the first years of its existence, the number of students has been increasing immensely in recent years with the expansion of the range of courses. There are now around 600 young people studying at the newest campus of Deggendorf Institute of Technology in Cham. As at DIT's two other campuses, internationality is also a priority in Cham. There are currently students from more than 40 nations on campus - and the trend is rising.

What is special about the Campus Cham is that its students are offered a continuous professional perspective. After the undergraduate Bachelor's programme in Mechatronics and Project Management for Digital Production, which is offered in German, graduates can choose from four consecutive Master's programmes in English - the Master's in Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical SystemsArtificial Intelligence for Smart Sensors and ActuatorsApplied AI for Digital Production Management as well as Intelligent Robotics.

The new Bachelor's and Master's programmes have been aligned with the most current issues in the fields of Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence in order to meet the increasing demand on the labour market. Industry 4.0, Additive Manufacturing, Smart Factory, IOOT, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Robotics, Smart Sensors and Actuators, Machine Learning, Big Data, Data Analysis, Autonomous Systems - these keywords are just a few examples to show the broad spectrum of study content.

All under one roof. Students at the Campus Cham benefit enormously from the close relationship that campus fosters with regional and national companies in the field of mechatronics. Both the Research and Development Centre (Technology Campus), the Digital Start-up Centre Cham, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce as well as parts of the Mechatronics Competence Network in Eastern Bavaria are located next door to the Cham Campus. This synergy of theory and practice is distinctive and enables students to learn in an application-oriented and scientific way in equal measure.

The individual support on campus is unique. Studies take place in personal supervision and small study groups. In the application process, an aptitude test is conducted for the Master's programmes in order to create a homogeneous study environment. The administration is also flexible and pursues an open-door policy to make it easier for international students in particular to settle in. This was confirmed during the accreditation of the study programmes. Online learning has already been implemented before the special Corona situation - be it in terms of eLectures, eAssessments or eTraining - and continuously developed further. Owing to the topicality of the study content, a large number of experts from professional practice support the teaching at Campus Cham.
