Technical University of Munich Reviews & Ratings ,,Germany

Tips: Transition was not that difficult for me as I had good flatmates and friends. I did not get any financial scholarships, but I ended up getting the TUMJA research scholarship, which is pretty amazing. TUM is known to be one of the best universities in Germany, so that says it all, I guess. You are good to go if you have the required skill set and a good hold on the German language. Here in Germany, you are mostly on your own, so I recommend having a good LinkedIn account and increasing your conne...

Tips: The weather is going to be harsh except for summer. Make the best use of your Schengzen Visa. Cooking is a very important and underrated skill.

Tips: I did not avail any scholarship. Students can however apply for the Deutschland stipend. Studying in Germany often mean you need to overcome the language barrier.

Tips: As for myself, I feel my transition was relatively smoother, as I have seen my peers struggle due to a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics. I understand that German universities take their mathematics and Physics basics very seriously regarding engineering, as they have many more mathematics-heavy courses in their compulsory courses and electives. The programmes and courses can vary a lot, so it's always better to know what you will study after getting into TUM. I would high...

Tips: Every change demands a setting period. Try to socialize, prioritise, and execute. There are a few scholarships ranging between 150-300 euros/month, although I never applied. The availability of part-time jobs at TU Munich is competitive. The University offers HiWi jobs, while off-campus employers offer between 13-21 euros/hour. I think a 10-20 hour per week workload is sufficient for part-time work. It is quite value for money, considering TUM is a German public university. However, with the new...
