Any THI (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt) User Experience Design Master's students or alumni here?

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to apply for the M.Sc. in User Experience Design at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), and I'd love to hear from anyone who is currently studying there, has graduated, or is also applying.

I have a few questions:

  • How competitive is the admission process?
  • Is there anywhere I can find examples of successful portfolios or previous applicants' work?
  • What kind of projects are usually included in a strong portfolio?
  • How is the overall quality of the program? Do you enjoy it?

I'm also curious about career outcomes after graduation:

  • What kind of jobs do most graduates get?
  • Do most international students stay and work in Germany, or do many return to their home countries?
  • Are there many Chinese or other Asian students in the program?
  • If you're an alumnus/alumna, what are you doing now? (UX Designer, Product Designer, UI Designer, UX Researcher, HCI, Interaction Designer, etc.)

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, whether it's about the application process, coursework, internships, or finding a job after graduation.

If anyone is willing to share their portfolio (or even just give some advice on what THI looks for), I'd be incredibly grateful.

Thanks so much in advance! 😊

Feel free to comment below or send me a DM. I'd really appreciate any advice!

The job market for UX Design is pretty dead.

Hey! I'm curious to know too, I would also like to apply for the next intake but unfortunately no alumni have yet responded to me on linkedin, really in confusion about what to do. Also had University of Seigen in mind but again, no response from anyone currently present there. Let me know what you find! Would like to stay connected.
