Your work environment
DIT is not only the most research-intensive and most international university in Bavaria, it is also the fastest growing. This is particularly reflected at the Cham site, which is home to an international study campus and two research campuses. The "Digitale Gründerzentrum Cham", the "Industrie- und Handelskammer" and parts of the "Mechatronik Netzwerk Ostbayern e.V." are also right next door to the Cham campus. You also benefit from good infrastructure, close to both the city and nature, with leisure activities to suit every taste. Just a ten-minute walk from the center of Cham, the Cham campus offers a unique atmosphere. Cham is located in the Bavarian Forest, which together with the Bohemian Forest forms the largest contiguous forest mountain range in Central Europe. Nature-loving people get their money's worth in these surroundings. The cultural offerings in Cham are also impressive. A moderate cost of living and various support services, such as a regular onboarding event, guarantee you a smooth start to your new job.
