How to apply for BScN at Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) — BSc Nursing (International) — English Entry with Built-in German — step-by-step process, documents required, and application timeline.
DIT Deggendorf uses its own Primuss portal (th-deg.de/en/apply) — NOT uni-assist. The international nursing BSc starts in March (Summer Semester) only; application period is October 1 – March 14. Application fee: EUR 60 (non-EU applicants). Unlike HAW Hamburg, the APS Certificate is NOT required at application stage — it is needed after admission, for the student visa. A training contract with a DIT partner institution is mandatory before starting. DIT's acceptance rate for nursing is estimated at 55–60%; applications with a confirmed training contract are significantly stronger. Students Traffic manages the complete application process: eligibility assessment (bridge qualification route), German A1 preparation, IELTS, training contract identification and German-language application documents, Primuss portal submission, APS Certificate after admission, and full German visa coordination.
Achieve bridge qualification and begin language preparation (12–18 months before March start) — if you hold only Class 12, enrol in any Indian Bachelor's programme and complete at least 1 year. Simultaneously begin German A1 at Goethe-Institut India (3–4 months from zero). Prepare IELTS (target 5.5+ overall). Output: bridge qualification transcript + German A1 certificate + English B2/IELTS certificate.
Contact DIT partner institutions and secure a training contract (6–9 months before March start) — email nursing-in@th-deg.de to request the current cooperation partner list (Kooperationspartner PDF).
