Technical University of Munich Admission Requirements 2027

With the TUM Munich acceptance rate of only 8 to 10%, this can be a little tough for an International student to get in. The Technical University of Munich admissions are academic and criteria-based which means that meeting the TU Munich minimum requirements for international students makes the applicant eligible for consideration. But the popular courses at this uni, like Informatics, Management and Electrical Engineering, have aptitude assessments (these are competitive!).

Technical University of Munich PG Admission Requirements 2027

Applying for TUM PG courses? These courses would require a UG degree, which should be equivalent to the German Bachelor's (min 3 years and 6 semesters). For most of the programs, students need to sit for a two-stage Aptitude Assessment (EFV).

For TUM, stage 1 will assess the student's academic grades by using a points system: if points do not meet the criteria, the applicants are rejected; if the score is above, then these students are admitted directly and borderline applicants are invited for a stage 2 interview (this is a 20-minute online interview). Look at the table given below -

Program (Master's)	Academic Qualification	Language	Additional Tests
MSc Informatics / Computer Science	Bachelor's in CS or related field; strong GPA	English (IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 88)	GRE or GATE scores may be required, check program. IIT graduates: submit IIT transcript in place of GRE/GATE
MSc Electrical Engineering	Bachelor's in EE or related field	English (IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 88)	GRE or GATE (check program)
MSc Mechanical Engineering	Bachelor's in ME or related field	English or German depending on specialization	GRE or GATE (program-specific)
PhD / Doctoral Studies	Master's degree (relevant field); strong academic record	English or German depending on supervisor and TUM Graduate School	APS Certificate NOT required for Doctoral programs

Pro Tip: If you are an IIT graduate and want to apply for TUM admissions, then you do not need to submit a GRE or GATE score. Instead of that, just upload your IIT transcript in the GRE/GATE slot. This is an official policy of IIT exemption for India.

Technical University of Munich and the City Experience

Tips: The student must be prepared to be self-reliant and responsible, as they play an active role in restructuring the course and such as at other universities, and be ready to work hard. Work-study culture is also very big and also helps build a CV during your study period as well. So always actively looking for career-oriented development is a plus too.

Likes (Post study jobs): There are so many companies in the city that are in close ties with the university, and that helps with the post-study job search. A solid number of multinational firms and growing startups provide work visa sponsorship (I think) for international graduates. Roles range widely from software development and business analyst to marketing specialists. Generally offering competitive entry-level packages.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not so many good Indian restaurants, in my opinion. Knowing a good Indian restaurant to go to is such valuable information to have. And South Indian options are very few as well. And going out to eat Indian food can sometimes get a bit expensive too.

Excellent University with world class amenities.

Tips: The first 6 months for me were challenging because you're in a new country with a basic language level, and you don't know the whereabouts of anything, but with time everything becomes easy, and you're no longer a noob. No scholarships for me, as the tuition was basically 102u20ac per semester. Very satisfied, but you have to give your 100%. I know some brilliant guys, but they were just lazy, so it resulted in their exmatriculation.

Likes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies which offer sponser visas to the students depending on their skills and experience. Sponsor visas are not seldom but hard to find. Most abundant job roles are available in IT as Deutschland is going through their Digitalisierung phase. Jobs are readily available for anyone with the right expertise.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Since I am Indian, the Indian restaurants were not like India at all. You could say they are just a makeshift version of Indian restaurants with artificial flavour. Don't trust anyone who says otherwise. I often cook myself at home. The reason is that I can't find the flavour in the Indian restaurants nearby, although it's not bad.

A lot of opportunities so the competition.

Tips: You have to be flexible to align with a new culture, and balancing your academics and part-time job is not easy. Nowadays, finding part times are also getting difficult, but with a consistent mindset, you can earn one. Indeed, Xing and similar websites/apps can be very helpful in finding jobs.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are highly educated and talented and would help us with everything. They share their intellectual property and ideas with us and treat us without any discrimination. Quality faculty can help us academically, but getting a job after the course, they can’t do anything.

Dislikes (Internships): There are a lot of internship opportunities, but getting one is highly competitive, and you have to apply for a lot to get into one. Nowadays, the competition is among Indian students because we have a minimum of bachelor's degrees, English knowledge, and a good IT background, which makes us a good choice for companies, but there are a lot!!

Tips: It is better to have knowledge of the German language. There are English courses offered as well. But for post-graduation, German is important. No scholarships are available as such since the tuition fee is free in public universities. But one can look for a scholarship with DAAD.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Really good faculty and helpful. Professors and other PhD students are readily available for help, and there are other student organizations to help as well. For my master's, studies were more practical than conventional book knowledge. There are also various electives to choose from.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): German plays a very important role in getting a full-time job. The company does not provide a visa. The person should take care of it. The salary is an important part to get visa, for example 48000 euro per year gets you the Blue Card.

excellent education and international student experience at tum.

Tips: Students should carefully check the admission and scholarship deadlines in advance, as they can be different and require separate applications. Moving to Germany was a smooth but initially challenging cultural transition, and TUM provides a diverse international environment. Learn about the sports clubs and student clubs, which will help a lot in personal and professional life. Study and enjoy your life.

Likes (Post study jobs): TUM offers a vibrant and international campus experience. I spend my time attending lectures, working on projects and research, interacting with students, and participating in some sports activities with ZHS. TUM regularly organizes cultural, technical, and social events by student organizations/clubs. It has very good student clubs where many projects are developed, it's a great place to learn with interdisciplinary groups.

Dislikes (Part time work): Because the professors and academic staff are highly knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. They are accessible for discussions and provide praticak research oriented teaching.

Tips: From 2024, tuition was introduce which doesn't attract many international students, since other universities still doesn't take tuition fee. The campus for life sciences is located 30 km away from munich, but has easy access via trains. Peaceful .

Likes (Value for money): There is minimum tuition fee of 85 euros. Hence you get to study, and join internships and do research without spending much. And also there is no stress over lectures and academics, so easy to do part time and studies together. The restaurants and cafe serve within average prices .

Dislikes (Part time work): Freising is a small town, it is difficult to get part time jobs without proper German proficiency. On campus jobs are very rare for Science students. Mostly mini jobs, but not part time. The teach students might sometimes get on campus jobs, but most others need good German language speaking skills. There is a bakery and canteen in the campus which serves pretty nice food.
