Studying and living in Ingolstadt
One thing immediately springs to mind when thinking of Ingolstadt: Audi. But of course Ingolstadt has much more to offer. The city is the seat of the University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt’s Faculty of Economics (WFI) and also the home of the Technical University of Ingolstadt (THI).
The number of enrolled students is currently around 6,500. Their share of the total population of Ingolstadt numbering around 137,000 inhabitants (as of May 2018) is 4.8%, compared to 2.5% in 2007. The number of students currently attending Ingolstadt’s universities has thus risen continuously in recent years, and there is no end in sight.
Due to the ideal central location of Ingolstadt between Munich, Regensburg, Augsburg and Nuremberg and the continuing good economic situation, the population development should continue at the current level reaching the 140,000 mark in just under 5 years’ time.
Of course, the number of students and their effect on the housing market in the region will also increase during this period.
