Is Technische Hochschule Deggendorf a reputable university for psychology or social work, with good student life?
Technische Hochschule Deggendorf is a reputable choice for applied psychology and social work, though not for clinical psychology, with about 9,000 students and nearly half from abroad. Student life is close-knit and nature-friendly, but most programs require German proficiency, and student housing can be hard to secure.
Yes, Technische Hochschule Deggendorf is a reputable, practical choice if you want applied psychology or social work rather than clinical psychology, and its student life is close-knit and highly international. The campus sits on the Danube in a small Bavarian town, which suits students who like nature over big-city energy. Just be prepared for a real language requirement in both fields.

My Advice
If you are set on clinical psychology, look elsewhere, since Deggendorf's strength is applied, business-linked psychology and community-based social work. Reach at least B1 German before you arrive, since coursework and field placements in both programs depend on it, and start your housing search the moment you receive an offer.
