• Learn the German language
• Do not forget to socialize while studying

For the initial screening of the applications, TUM may look for the following:

• To get admission to TUM, the academic records are very important
• International outlook in research and innovation is also checked. The CV gives the committee a good idea about your outlook, the fields where you have studied and the areas in which you want to specialize
