About the course

A 7-semester (210 ECTS) course taught in English that combines engineering with management, focused on energy and resource efficiency and on maintenance, repair and operation engineering. Topics include renewable energies, plant engineering, Industry/Energy 4.0, logistics, leadership, investment and financing, with a 26-week internship in semester 6.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Under German rules (KMK/ZAB on anabin), the Leaving Cert gives direct entry to engineering 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, plus 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.
  • You must take DIT’s Academic Readiness Assessment (ARLA) test and upload the result certificate with your application. DIT says basic maths and science knowledge is an advantage.
  • English proof is required; the programme page does not state the level, but DIT’s language document sets B2 for English-taught courses (for example IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge FCE/CAE). No exemption for native speakers or Leaving Cert English is mentioned, so check with admissions.

How to apply

  1. Check your subjectsConfirm you have Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5 or better, as German rules require for engineering.
  2. Take the ARLA testComplete DIT’s Academic Readiness Assessment before applying and keep the result certificate.
  3. Apply on PrimussApply through DIT’s Primuss portal between 15 April and 15 July 2027 with your ID, CV, English proof and ARLA certificate. Ask DIT how to handle Leaving Cert results, which arrive after its 27 July upload date.
  4. Accept and moveAccept your offer, pay the student union fee (currently €82), arrange housing in Pfarrkirchen 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 run from 15 April to 15 July for the October (winter semester) start. You must include an Academic Readiness Assessment (ARLA) test certificate. 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.
This is an engineering degree, so German rules require Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science even though it includes management. It is taught on the European Campus Rottal-Inn in Pfarrkirchen, and DIT wants the school-leaving certificate by 27 July, before Leaving Cert results.
