M.Sc Health Sciences from Technical University Munich [TUM], Munich - Fees & Admission Details 2026

• The course curriculum is very relevant and up to date
• It is very common for students to work part-time at companies such as Infineon, Siemens, BMW, Rohde & Schwarz, Airbus, and others.
• The first two semesters are course-heavy. You could have, on average,e 4 hours of coursework every day. The next semesters are mostly spent on lab work, internship, and master's thesis.
• Depends on the courses. The mandatory course modules can have around 80-100 attending students. The electives will have fewer students. This depends on how popular that specific elective is.

• Tuition fees were minimal during my time (a few hundred Euros per semester). But now TUM charges 4000-6000 Euros per semester for international students pursuing Master's degrees.

• The course was both theoretical and practical and was quite rigorous. Strong fundamentals are required, but the amount you learn is amazing. If you want to go into research and academia, then definitely it is the place for you, you learn a lot.
• The negative aspect can be that a lot of the learning needs to be done by yourself, which is generally a contrast to the indian teaching methodology.
• We are free to choose our own elective courses and design the schedule as per that. There are about 80 to 90 students in a cohort, and approximately 6-8 indian students in a batch.

• Zero tuition fees, semester fees of 85 euros, monthly health insurance around 150 euros, rent around 600 euros, monthly public transport fees of 39 euros.
• An amount of around 12000 euros needs to be shown in a separate blocked account at the time of applying for a visa to show that one can cover their expenses during the period.This is done via a third party service like coracle or expatrio.
   

• The problem is that it was very difficult; whatever they teach you is just a basic understanding of it, but it's completely—you have to understand it in depth to actually pass an exam, it's more of a practical and to be honest, it's a mix of both.
• The most positive and negative aspects are that my course is not that flexible to choose different modules of whatever I want; I have to complete all the modules that they tell me to. In a day, probably 2-3 classes, but it's also like there are few days where you don't have any classes at all.
• Usual timing starts from 8:30, maybe also till 6:30; it depends, the class is basically one and a half hours, and you have a break of 5-10 minutes in between. Average number of students is 30 because I'm in a master program and there are more than 5-6 Indian students in every year.

• I don't have any tuition fees, as I started my master's in 2022 and i have to pay some 85 euros as an administrative fee and thats all but now they have implemented a fee for non EU countries of something around 4,500 for bachelor's and 6,500 for master's.
• It is semester-wise.
• The monthly expenses is nearly 1000 euro; if you live in cities like Munich, rent would be somewhere around 500-700, travel 38 (Deutschland  ticket for students), 150 for groceries, 144 for health nsurance (mandatory), and  radio tax (18 euros)

• The course was very difficult; however, it also depends on what kind of subjects one takes. I took very math-heavy courses and so it was quite difficult for me.
  • Positive - I know my subject very well because we are expected to know the subject in depth to be able to pass the exams.
  • Negatives - Due to this pressure, it increases stress in the students, especially those who are looking to finish university quickly.
• Again, it depends on the students and how much the students take. There might be overlaps depending on the course a student takes. Courses are scheduled from 8am to 5pm.
• Difficult to say the average, as I have had classes with only 20 people attending to one that had 1000+ people attending. I would say 50-70 students on average are present in the rather popular courses.

• We did not have fees. We had a student contribution worth less than €120 a semester. This was mainly for the students union.
• The contribution was charged before the starting of every semester.
• My monthly expenses were around €900 which is around Rs.80-90k. A major chunk of this was for my rent, which is quite expensive in Munich. Other than that, most of my expenses went towards groceries and food in general. We could buy a €29 countrywide ticket, which allowed us to travel on any public transport throughout the country (except "bullet" trains).

For finding accommodations, there are online platforms like WG-gesucht. The challenges faced are that you should know German quite well, just knowing English is pretty hard to find. There are student dorms of the university, too, known as studentenwerk. You have to wait for quite a while for studentenwerk, and it is a bit expensive as Munich is expensive.

I found the course syllabus to be extremely vast and one can be spoilt for choices. Students have complete freedom to design their curriculum and even their exam schedule. The curriculum subjects were excellent for those who want to pursue industrial research in biotechnology. I found that there were fewer basic research subjects and more applied subjects. It was updated too, in that the professors would teach from their own areas of research, hence always providing up-to-date knowledge and research application of the topics. I was unfortunately unable to gain any industrial exposure or research experience since I was there during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the year 2020-21, my semester tuition fee was nil, and there was a semester contribution of around 145 euros. This included the Student Union costs and a semester ticket for free travel in public transport (buses, trams and trains) on weekends in the Munich travel network. However, non-EU (international) students enrolled in winter 2024-25 sessions and onwards will have a tuition fee of 2000 to 3000 euros per semester.

The course is up to date in my opinion. There are many modules to choose from as per our wanted outcome so it is flexible. Some of the modules are seminars where we are encouraged to work on a project, sometimes in groups or sometimes individually which helps us sharpen our research, problem solving and analytic skills. Various other courses also offer industrial exposure.

Currently, there is no tuition fee. I only have to pay 85 euros per semester but from winter semester 2024, the tuition fee would be about 4000 to 6000 euros per semester.

The course syllabus changes every year since the latest version is taught to the students. Course is very vast and covers most of the things that a student will need after the bachelors.

When I joined there was no tuition fees but since 2024 winter intake an additional fees of 4000 euros will be added

I believe it's quite an updated course, and we are studying all the relevant course which is needed for today's time zone . The academic research here done is pretty good and the university itself is the top universities in Germany.

85 euro per semester

It is very relevant, but Tit is also very general , does not touch any topic in deep but covers all the topics. There was no industrial exposure, but since it was tied up with NTU, we had the lab facilities and research opportunities are given to all students.

4000-5000 SGD per semester
