What are your chances?

Technische Hochschule Augsburg is a public university of applied sciences in Augsburg, Bavaria. Founded in its present higher-education form in 1971 and renamed Technische Hochschule Augsburg in 2023, it traces earlier educational traditions to Augsburg’s art academy and polytechnic institutions. The university reported approximately 7,925 students for winter semester 2025/26 and offers applied study across engineering, computing, architecture and construction, design, business, natural and liberal arts, and social fields. Bachelor’s and master’s education remains its main provision, while authorized inter-university doctoral centres permit direct doctorates in defined technology-related research areas. Teaching is closely connected with laboratories, projects, industrial practice and a required practical semester. Prospective international students should check each programme’s teaching language and admission rules: much of the portfolio is German-taught, although selected programmes or modules use English.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is divided mainly between the Brunnenlech and Rotes Tor campuses. Both have Studierendenwerk-operated catering facilities, while the university library provides study space, collections, research support and loans of selected technical equipment. The Campus Card functions as student identification and supports access to university services. Students can participate in elected representation and a varied set of organizations and activities. The university’s campus-life directory includes a student consultancy, engineering and sustainability projects, a university theatre group, choir, big band and religious student communities. THA students can also register for university sports offered through the University of Augsburg’s sports centre. Availability, membership conditions and schedules change by semester. Housing requires early planning. THA states that it does not own residence halls. Students instead look to Studierendenwerk Augsburg residences, other providers, shared flats or the private rental market, with the International Office offering guidance. The university warns that rising student numbers can make accommodation difficult to secure. This means admission does not imply a room, and students arriving from abroad should begin their search well before the semester and confirm whether any housing assistance applies to their applicant category.

Location & Surroundings

THA is based in Augsburg, a Bavarian city with a long Roman and imperial history, museums, theatre, festivals and extensive green spaces along its rivers and canals. The setting combines an established urban centre with access to regional employers in fields including automation, information technology, environmental technology, logistics and advanced manufacturing. The Brunnenlech and Rotes Tor campuses are located within Augsburg rather than on a remote residential campus. Local tram and bus services connect the university areas with the wider city. Augsburg’s main railway station is a regional and intercity junction, and Munich is reachable for additional cultural and employment opportunities. The Alps are accessible for hiking and winter recreation, although travel time depends on the destination. The urban location is useful for internships and part-time work, but housing availability is an important practical constraint. Students should compare commuting time as well as rent when searching across Augsburg. Because THA has no institution-owned halls, living arrangements may be some distance from a student’s faculty even when they are within the public-transport network.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For winter semester 2026/27, THA’s official re-enrolment page set the semester contribution at €181.95. It comprised an €85.00 Studierendenwerk contribution and €96.95 for the semester transport ticket. This is a mandatory contribution rather than a complete estimate of study expenses. Students should also inspect the current university fee regulations and their individual programme because continuing-education offerings, administrative services or other special cases may carry additional charges. No tuition figure from the database is used here because none was supplied. Housing will normally be the largest living expense, and THA does not operate its own residence halls. The university advises that accommodation in Augsburg can be difficult to find. Costs vary across Studierendenwerk residences, shared flats and private apartments, so students should budget using current listings rather than older estimates. International students must also account for health insurance, residence-related financial evidence where applicable, food, study materials and personal expenses. Career preparation is embedded in the applied model. A practical training semester places students in an industrial or economic environment while they remain enrolled. THA also provides internship resources and a university job board covering internships, working-student roles, thesis projects and graduate positions. These services create access to opportunities but do not guarantee placement or employment. International students should consider German proficiency alongside formal programme language, since it can materially affect access to local internships and jobs.
