Technical University of Munich - TUM (reviews)

The university has its own brand value, the group of students are from various domains and various cultures. The teaching faculty provide both online and offline opportunities for the students, which plays a major role for students who are doing internships.

At TUM you have the possibility to organize your studies relatively freely. That means you can choose everything except for a few individual requirements that are specified in the curriculum. In Aerospace, you can therefore specialize very well in a single area or remain general. In addition, there is the opportunity for engineering flexibility, which allows you to look beyond your “plate”. In general, everyone at TUM (professors, employees and students) tries to make studying as pleasant as possible: you always find a contact person, everyone is open to requests (e.g. student assistantships, theses, etc.) and it is really fun to study there! Study abroad programs are also widely offered, as TUM has good contacts to other universities not only in Europe, but also worldwide. I can only recommend the Aerospace program at TUM!

I am a student in the second semester, of my Master in Management and Technology. I found the perfect programme at TUM, as I wanted to combine my previous background in BA and learn new skills in computer engineering!

It was practically oriented. The lecturers are always prepared before their lectures and they make their lectures very interactive. They also give assignments at the end of each lecture which was equally explained during the exercise classes.

The university is divided into several different faculties, the Hochschüle fur Politik (HfP), is located in the heart of Munich and is a stunning facility to study at. Its facilities & amenities are extensive and modern, with vibrant open study spaces – far nicer than a traditionally dark & gloomy library. The programme is extremely interdisciplinary, meaning people from various academic backgrounds can find suitable areas. For example, my classmates consisted of social science, humanities and civil engineering graduates, and a wide range of courses are offered for students to partake in. Further, as an international student, I felt very supported and comfortable as soon as I started the course – with a large International student cohort you would expect the university to be adept at managing international students, nevertheless, it was positive to feel at home at TUM so quickly. Unfortunately, my personal experience as a student living and studying in Munich was cut short by Covid, but in the time I got before Covid started the student experience was excellent and much better than during my previous studies for my bachelor’s degree.

In general, the course has been excellent. All the modules I have taken are interesting & well structured, and the university adapted excellently to the change to hybrid/remote learning during Covid, providing extensive online learning materials and ensuring that students were supported throughout the course of the pandemic, and continue to be to this day. My only real point of contention is regarding the university administration – registering for courses and exams can be quite confusing and time-consuming, however, if one is struggling there are plenty of administrative staff on hand to help with any issues. It is also worth noting that accommodation is notoriously difficult to find in Munich, and prospective students should start looking as early as possible in order to secure a place. Careers’ support is also very good, and I feel confident in my employment prospects moving forward. Overall, I would highly recommend TUM to any prospective students.

At the Bauman university, the main object of my educational activity was the foundation of Nanotechnologies. In addition to this, I studied a variety of general Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science disciplines including Fluid Mechanics, Engineering and Computer Graphics, Linear Algebra and Mathematical Analysis. I have pretty much experience in modeling, designing, as well as creating drawings in CAD programs (AutoCAD, Inventor and Kompas-3D). During my studies, I participated in the purchase of vacuum equipment for the department, that is why I have experience working with databases, creating macros. Also, while studying in Moscow, I repeatedly took part in student conferences, so I have experience in designing and presenting research using Microsoft Office.

In addition to my University research work, I have published an article, which is devoted to the Mathematical modeling of the technological process of applying a thin film of molybdenum disulfide, in a scientific journal. Also, in the course of work, I checked the adequacy of the resulting model by comparing the experimental data with the calculated values. This theme is very promising due to the important properties of molybdenum disulfide for engineering, but the accuracy of thin-film deposition depends on many parameters such as substrate temperature, target defects and random errors. To determine the impact of input data on key outputs and build the appropriate dependencies, I used Microsoft Excel.

Technische Universität München with Computer Science and Engineering program offers a brilliant opportunity to get excellent knowledge not only in Methods and Techniques in Computer Science and Engineering but also in its application in various Engineering branches such as Mechanics and Electronics. It will allow me to develop and derive new ideas for optimizing engineering processes in different spheres.

Now I am doing Visual Data Analytics course at TUM which is devoted to the basic visualization algorithms used by modern visualization software. I’m going to use Tableau and Power BI applications, which should help in the preparation of business plans and reports. I think it can be useful for representing results

The exact name of my program is Management and Technology (B.Sc.) and its main focus is on management. Here you study a variety of courses that directly prepare you for work in the field. It differs from other business-related programs by the fact that you can choose a technical specialization and that way concentrate your studies in a certain direction. Student life is lively and there are all sorts of events happening. After graduation, the possibilities for employment are countless as you establish competencies in many aspects of corporate life!

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.

I’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.

The uni is quite good with various study options. Application process is very smooth and uni has high ratio of foreign students. Most of the faculties are in the outside of the city which is called as Garching.
