Beginning of Studies
Applying at TUM
We are delighted that you would like to study at the TU Munich!
You can find all the important information on these pages:
- general information about the TU Munich
- Information about the School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) (Information Engineering - Bachelor)
- Information about the School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) (Information Engineering - Master)
- Information about the School of Management (MGT) (Management and Data Science, Management and Digital Technology, Management)
We can also advise you to take a look at the curriculum for your desired degree program, as it will give you an overview of what to expect during your studies. If you have an interview, it will definitely go down well if you have already looked at what you will hear!
If you want to talk to people from your chosen degree program, just drop by in Heilbronn and we’ll find someone who can answer your questions. Of course you can also send us an e-mail: .
Good luck and we hope to see you soon at Freshers’ Week!
Preparatory Courses
For the bachelor’s programs in Information Engineering and Management and Data Science, there are preparatory courses.
If your application to TUM was successful, you should also receive a separate invitation to these. Registration takes place via TUMonline, see the link below.
In the preparatory courses, material that is valuable for the start of your studies will be reviewed or newly introduced.
It is important to know that everything not covered in school will also be addressed again at the beginning of lectures (possibly at a faster pace).
We strongly recommend participating in the preparatory courses, as they make starting your studies much easier.
This is a great way to get used to university life, familiarize yourself with the way of working at university, and gain a solid foundation before lectures officially begin.
Most importantly, you can also make your first acquaintances and friendships at university, which often last throughout your entire studies.
Information about the mathematics preparatory course for Information Engineering (Computer Science) can be found here: Preparatory & Holiday Courses in Computer Science
In addition to the mathematics courses, there is also an online course “LOOP: Learning Object-Oriented Programming”, which is especially recommended for computer science beginners who had little computer science in school (e.g., from other federal states). More information can be found here.
Also recommended is the block seminar Block-Course Tools and Practice in Digital Research and Engineering.
This course is structured like a preparatory course for computer science, but it counts as a computer science elective subject and gives you 1 ECTS.
There is also a mathematics preparatory course in the Management and Data Science (Management) program. More information can be found here: Preparatory & Holiday Courses in Management
The preparatory courses are definitely worth your time!
