Fachhochschule Deggendorf

The Learning Environment

The Fachhochschule Deggendorf is a newly founded, modern University of Applied Sciences situated in Lower Bavaria, the south-eastern part of Germany. The city of Deggendorf is relatively small (with about 35.000 inhabitants), but located conveniently on the motorway crossing A92/A3, next to the Danube river and nearby the Bavarian Forest. The city and its surroundings present numerous possibilities for skiing and sightseeing. There is much to see and to do round Deggendorf.

Getting to know your way around the campus is fairly easy as all of the buildings of the Deggendorf University are constructed around a central atrium, joined together in a parkland site just outside the city centre, right next to the Danube river.
