What students say about Technical University Munich
Likes
- One of the best courses for students interested in computer science and its application in the field of engineering.
- Apart from that, you are free to apply for a paid or unpaid internship or even an Inter-Disciplinary Project at a company through TUM DI Lab or online job portals such as LinkedIn, etc.
- I suppose the average package that a graduate student gets in Munich as a software engineer lies somewhere around 50k to 60k euros (but, of course, taxes are very high).
- The campus of NTU was beautiful. TUM-Asia wasnt much of a campus, but rather a building, so we used NTU facilities on a daily basis.
- I stayed in a student hostel that provided all the necessary things for a living situation, such as a nearby supermarket and malls for making any important purchases.
- Most of them hold numerous laurels for their research work and are superior in their field of work.
- It is a well-reputed university with well-maintained labs for getting hands-on experience, along with an excellent teaching faculty.

- I chose TUM since it is one of the top 3 universities in Germany. I love the German language and culture. Also, it is a public university, which meant the tuition fee was quite low. I chose this particular program because it offers a vast number of courses to choose from. null
- I like the vast amount of opportunities the university presents students with. One can really grow as an individual in such an environment. It is student-friendly. The culture is open such that international students can feel at home. null
Dislikes:
- I did not like that one is left on their own when it comes to curriculum planning. It can get really overwhelming for international students and a bit more hand-holding in the first semester would go a long way. Also, the professors consider that you know everything about the academic system (exams, etc) there already, and do not give personal attention to international students. null

- Germany has always been a country that provides top quality education and the fact that there was no tuition fee was a bonus. TUM is one of the top universities in Germany with a good atmosphere not just for academic growth but also for various other extracurricular pursuits. The faculty and chairs of the particular course I wanted to pursue were very well established which made this a dream opportunity for me. null
- The university offers support to not only our academic pursuits but also to the holistic growth of the students. They understand the hardships of the students and provide various support systems, such as counselling, career advice, accommodation advice etc to help us out. As previously mentioned, there are numerous student activities and initiatives to choose from that help the student be part of a community, make connections and assist in their personal growth. null
Dislikes:
- There are no particular things I dislike about the university. But one thing I'm not used to is the examinations. For example, for most of the exams, we are not provided with the previous year's question papers to practice. This is not ideal, especially in a problematic subject where ample practice and understanding of the previous exam patterns are essential. There is also no separate question-and-answer paper, we are provided with questions printed with space left for answers. Some papers have space in the back for the correction but one of the exams I gave did not so rewriting the answer was not possible. The exams are also notorious for having really little time. null
Deciding to pursue my Master's at TUM was the best decision I ever made. Not only am I provided with a world-class education and academic infrastructure, but I am also provided with invaluable personal growth opportunities. I am proud to be part of the diverse and inclusive student community. I have made efforts to participate in and volunteer for the various clubs and events at the university that have provided me with an opportunity to meet like-minded students as well as interact with the esteemed professors. But I have to admit that for a new student not used to the German education system, the studies can be a bit challenging, especially during the exam seasons.

- Best university in Germany and it is located in Munich which is an industrial city thus plenty of internship opportunities. null
- The course structure and faculty. The course is very well organised and the classes are oriented in a way such that students can also do part time job without clashing with lecture hours. null
Dislikes:
- Exams are very tough here and there is no proper book where we can study from. The lectures are taught in the form of slides and one has to understand everything in order to pass the exams .
I would say that TUM is a top tier university and can be compared to MIT standards. The engineering students here are one of the best brains on the planet and therefore it is very tough to compete the engineering courses here. However the School of management is not as difficult as compared to engineering school. However one should not take it lightly. The faculty here are very experienced and have very good English skills. Most of the people here in the Uni can speak English and therefore it becomes easier for international students. There is also a buddy program for new students which can help them get to know about the Uni and the course better.
Likes:
- Quality of education, reduce fees and Job opportunity here, as well as student friendly environment. Also in the universe, you can do the course on your own time frame and esay to navigate .
- Research facilities and ongoing project, teaching staff and infrastructure and lot of stuff, the Vibe here is quite amazing for students and they can actually have good time here and learn a lot .
Dislikes:
- "Accomodation is very tough thing here and if you really are considering coming here, then I would advise you to research your things thoroughly . Also you need to be self dependent here and have to try and work it out yourself . " .
Overall I am quite satisfied as for where I am and it is ofcourse the best universities in Germany so you have to make the most of it .
I prepared for the admission myself. Prepared SOP (Letter of Motivation), Essays by taking help from the internet but for checking and enhancing grammar I opened a paid account on Grammarly. All the relevant information on the application process can be found on TUM's informatics webpage (or simply by googling). If there is any help that a potential applicant needs, then he can simply mail the university (studium(at)tum.de). Though they may take a while they always do reply. Even when I had trouble during my applications, I contacted them at the same email address. Otherwise, if there is a document that is not in the correct format, the admission department always informs you and is ready to help.
TUM is the best technical university with diverse faculty and with various research opportunities.
It was the best university in Germany for the last 6 years and is also internationally recognized. TUM provided the best opportunities for students to get their dream job or further strengthen their research skills. This particular program caught my eye because sustainability is the way forward in the coming years and my interest was always in making sustainable societies with judicious resource use.
Excellent academic, wide variety of courses, research oriented and very very less tuition fees.
It is a well-reputed university with well-maintained labs to get hands-on experience along with excellent teaching faculty. Also, I believed that I could get into this university with my academic scores.
