Degree programs at the TUM can be offered either entirely in German or in English and students may be asked to take courses or modules both in German and English.  So its not mandatory to provide proof of German proficiency. But students are still recommended to work on one's skills as students may need to take some advanced electives, labs, etc in German for mixed language programs.

TUM acceptance rate stands at around 8% so out of every 100 students who apply to the uni's admission process only 8-10 students are likely to be offered a seat. So the TUM admission criteria are extremely selective since only one tenth students will be admitted

Course are available to be pursued in both English & German languages, however, some courses are available only in German & therefore having a good hold of the German language is recommended.

As per some student reviews on Shiksha Study Abroad, students must have a minimum B1 or B2 level proficiency of the German language.
