About the course

A 7-semester (210 ECTS) course taught entirely in English, starting with maths, programming, algorithms and databases, then machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, deep learning and autonomous robotics, with electives in areas such as healthcare, mobility, energy or gaming. First-semester lectures can be followed on campus or online, but exams are on campus. A separate German-taught version also exists.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Under German rules (KMK/ZAB on anabin), the Leaving Cert gives direct entry only with six general subjects: at least two at Higher Level H5 or better, the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For a computing/technical subject area German rules also expect Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. DIT publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with DIT admissions. LCA and LCVP are not accepted.
  • Admission test required: multiple choice on maths (differential calculus, linear algebra, probability), logic and computer science at upper secondary level, plus a 200-300 word essay. Sample tests and solutions are on the programme page.
  • English at B2 level is required (DIT’s language document lists certificates such as IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge FCE/CAE and LanguageCert). DIT’s published list does not mention an exemption for native speakers or for Leaving Cert English, so ask admissions before booking a test. You must also reach German A2 by the end of the course.

How to apply

  1. Check your subjectsMake sure your Leaving Cert subjects and levels meet the German rules, ideally with Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5 or better.
  2. Apply on PrimussApply through DIT’s Primuss online portal between 15 April and 15 June 2027 with your ID, CV and English proof. Ask DIT early how to handle Leaving Cert results, which arrive after its 27 July upload date.
  3. Sit the admission testDIT assigns you a test date in May or June covering maths, logic and computer science plus a short essay. Practise with the sample tests.
  4. Accept and enrolAccept your offer, pay the student union fee (currently €82), find accommodation in Deggendorf and start in October 2027.
Leaving Cert students: results come out in August, after this deadline, and uni-assist doesn’t accept predicted Leaving Cert grades. If you’re applying with 2027 results, check with the university before relying on this date. This deadline still works if you already have your results.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Applications for the English-taught version run from 15 April to 15 June for the October (winter semester) start, a month earlier than DIT’s usual 15 July bachelor deadline. The admission test takes place in May and June; DIT assigns you a date. DIT says bachelor applicants may apply before receiving their school-leaving certificate but must upload it by 27 July, which is before Irish Leaving Cert results are issued. These are the dates DIT currently publishes; confirm the 2027 dates..

Costs

  • No tuition fees for EU/EEA students. You pay only the student union fee, currently listed as €82 per semester (about €164 a year). The €60 application fee and €500 per-semester service fee apply only to international (non-EU/EEA) students.
The English-taught AI course closes on 15 June and you must pass DIT’s own maths and logic test. DIT wants the school-leaving certificate by 27 July, before Leaving Cert results are out, so contact admissions early about timing.
