Engineering sciences is a degree with 210 Credits, that aims to introduce students to a broad field of engineering disciplines. It nonetheless is 3 years in principle, which roughly only 10% of the students manage to pull off. You can choose your specialisation in the last year / last two semesters of your study, where you have essentially free choice from almost all engineering/science-oriented courses of TUM.
It is a challenging course in its intensity, the third semester for example packed with so many (complex) courses in it, that you essentially learn thermodynamics in half the time other engineering courses do because it has to share its time slot with a different course, namely mechanics. The timetables are quite full as a consequence, and since the courses touch all the engineering fields, it is bound to pose a challenge for you sooner or later, by sheer virtue of a field not being your piece of cake.
I nonetheless really like the program, it is highly respected and opens gates to any master you desire and future opportunities. The professors picked are incredibly competent, and are some of the most valued even within TUM. The faculty (MSE-Munich School of Engineering) is also incredibly social and together sticking. They organise a lot of events and parties, which are more than sufficient to have a decent time with your classmates.
After 10 months of filing my lawsuit, first reply came from legal team of TUM Center for Study and Teaching. There are few incompetent lawyers in this team. They don’t know how to do their work properly as well as they don’t value contribution of student for an excellent university.
View moreI’m doing my master’s degree at TUM and in my opinion it was not as good as I expected. There were too little seminars and assignments during the semester, and we only have exams at the end. What I liked the most about it so far was the single seminar I had, about contemporary issues in financial accounting and auditing. Even with some downsides I would still recommend it to a friend, because it is still an amazing program. For example I had subjects like Management Accounting, Asset Management and Technical Mechanics, which shows how broad scope it covers (business, finance and engineering). There are several campuses: the one for Management is in the city center with one of the best views, the technological campus is 40 min outside of Munich and quite new. Unfortunately in Munich it’s not easy to find accommodation and the support is very limited since everyone is in need. There are many nice initiatives like different clubs and some parties organized by them every once in a while. Munich is awesome, kinda expensive in general but totally worth the price! Parks and lakes make it even better during summer. Nightlife is also expensive but very good. My advice for new students is to look for a flat with a long time in advance and be prepared with a big budget.
