Content of the exchange program
As part of our bilateral partnership agreements, students can switch to TUM for 1 to 3 semesters. This gives students the opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted with the language, (learning) culture and lifestyle of our country.
Services offered by the exchange program
· The term of study lasts at least one, but not more than three semesters.
· Students are registered as international exchange students for this period and are accordingly regarded as TU München undergraduates.
· Exchange students do not need to pay student fees at TUM but remain matriculated at their home university and pay the appropriate fees there.
Conditions of application
· A good command of the language (either German or English, if you choose an English-medium course), to enable you to make a success of your studies.
· A specific reason for wishing to study at our university which you must set out in a letter of motivation. You may get in touch with one of the TUM departments in advance in this connection (particularly if you are interested in doing in a term paper or a Master's thesis).
