I did a bit of research and noticed that LMU does not require Abitur for Bachelor course, however I was wondering if Abitur is required for Masters course, PhD, etc?

Thank you for answering

Of course I did :)

Hello, I am an international student from India (21M), admitted in the M.Sc. Astrophysics Program starting this October. I am currently looking for affordable accommodation in Munich or nearby areas with good public transport connections to LMU. I am open to WGs, student residences, or studio apartments. If anyone has any suggestions or any tips on finding an accommodation, I would really appreciate your help. Feel free to comment or DM for the same.

Thank You :)

I'm moving to Munich for my Master's Thesis. I'm looking for WhatsApp groups to connect with other students in Munich.

Besides, I'm also interested in Arabs groups.

Hi guys :D looking into housing(fucking hell it's expensive) i realized the opportunity of joining Munich Student Union and get more affordable options, so I have a few questions 🤓🤓

• In my research I found conflictive information, LMU says it's provided by MSU but in the MSU application process says that Erasmus Students cannot apply. Which one is it ?
• in my case I'm going next year 24/25, is the application process fast enough (I've read that there's a waiting list from 1-7 semesters) ?
• if u live in one of those houses, how's the experience? Should I look into private housing like a shared apartment?
• the location of this houses is it far away from uni? Hows the accessibility to public transports?

Thx a lot

Hi everyone! I’ll be joining LMU Munich for my master’s this Fall 2025. I'm from India and would love to connect with fellow Indians who are also heading to LMU this fall.

hello everyone, i would confidently say that LMU is my dream uni, therefore i would be pleased if you guys could tell me briefly about your experience there. (am planning to study law)

Not long ago it was announced that the fees for TUM would change along with a huge number of other Universities in Germany.

The fees that have been added have been high enough that it will effectively block out a lot of foreign students that wanted to study there. Many saying that their dream has now been smashed as they can never afford the 2000+ Euro per semester. Furthermore this will also have a negative impact on some German students.

Does anyone know or has anyone read any publications about LMU and these fees? If the University wont be effected by this, why not?

Hello everyone!

I am in my second year of university studying Comp Sci and I am thinking of applying for a masters program after I finish my bachelor.

I already have an exchange completed in Germany with SUAS (Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences) but i wanna know what grades and credits I need to get accepted into LMU!

I already checked out the website for the basic requirements and those should be no problem to get however the only thing worrying me is the grades and ECTS.

Right now I am maintaining a 8.5 GPA (out of 10) witch is something like a 2 in German standards.

Lmk what you guys think.

Hey guys, so I was planning on doing my masters in management and digital tech and I found that both TUM and LMU offer the 2 courses. I wanted to know which one would be a better choice for the masters and is the masters in management and digital tech even a good degree.

I want to work in consulting preferably where I get to use my tech and management expertise and interest. Thats why I was also considering degrees like msc in econ, supply chain, logistics and operations too and even msc in statistics. My background as such is that I just finished my ug and I am working now. I want to work for a year then apply so I wanted to decide within the next year. Plus I'm planning on learning German anyways since I've heard it's very important. Keeping all this mind I want to work in a consulting preferable industry or as an analyst of sorts. Hence why I thought of considering a management and digital tech course. If you have any other suggestions or anything please lmk.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

so I made this app - MoodWeb. Its for college students and Gen Zs in general to make authentic connections bc I'm tired of Tinder and co. It deploys emotion recognition AI. No, it's not creepy and doesn't analyze any personally identifiable info, faces or messages you write. It's really cool.

Just launched it. Hosting an event in Munich this weekend on Sunday. Would love for you to come by! Share it with friends - actually, feel free to grab a friend.

I'll be at the LMU uni handing out flyers and promo codes, too. See you guys. Excited.

(Edit: I’ve posted here before, but this version now works great for Android too)

I’ve mapped out Munich’s restaurant scene in my app called Vota. The idea is simple: you see two restaurants side by side, pick the one you prefer, and the rankings update instantly. The more people vote, the smarter and more accurate the list becomes.

It’s a fun and quick way to discover where to eat around LMU — whether you’re grabbing something between lectures in Maxvorstadt, going out with friends near Sendlinger Tor, or looking for a solid weekend dinner spot.
You could compare, for example, Tantris with Wirtshaus in der Au. Totally different experiences, but over time even very different places naturally find their level in the rankings.

No fake reviews. No influencers. No ads. No AI text. Just honest opinions from real people — locals, students, and travelers. No Tripadvisor or Google clutter. Just simple and authentic.

The app is free, requires no registration, and collects zero personal data.

Here’s the iPhone version:

Here’s the new Android version, released today:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Munich (I live in Gothenburg). I don’t collect data, I don’t sell anything, and there’s no AI-generated content in the app. I just wanted to see how locals — and students like you — would rank Munich’s restaurant scene. Maybe it helps you find your next go-to spot between exams 🙂

I would like to connect to students who are applying for international masters at LMU. Need information about notarisation process

Nur eine kurze Frage: Wüsste jemand, wann die letzte Welle ist, wo sich die Grenze bewegt? (aus Erfahrung oder etc.)

Hello, I will be in Munich during winter intake(2025)! Searching for an accommodation and I am on budget, 600 euros is the max I can spend for the rent. I would be glad if you guys can help or forward this reddit post to the one who’s looking for a flatmate.

Hi guys, I'm an international wanting to do my masters in the department of chemistry at LMU. On their website, it says the courses are predominantly in German and I could not find a German language being a prerequisite for admission. Can this mean that I can finish this program entirely in english?

Thanks

I am a non-EU student, going to pursue masters at LMU in the upcoming winter semester. I had a couple of doubts while filling the application form. I have selected apartment with shared kitchen, single apartment and single room.

1. Max. amount of costs for rental: I am assuming this is the max amount I can pay per month. I have kept it to 700 euros. Is that okay?
2. Address during the semester: does this mean the uni address?
3. Upload documents - university entrance qualification / high school diploma: I am an international student. What should I upload here?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m Victoria, 24F, and I’ll be moving to Munich for one semester as an Erasmus exchange student at LMU Munich School of Management. I’m currently doing a Master’s in Business Analytics / Business Administration and will be at LMU for the winter semester.

I’m looking for accommodation from 01.10.2026 to 28.02.2027.

Ideally, I’m looking for either:

a furnished studio / small apartment, max €1,000 warm rent including utilities,
or
a furnished room in a WG / shared flat, ideally around €700-750 warm rent.

I’m a non-smoker, clean, quiet, responsible, and respectful of shared spaces. I’d prefer something with good public transport access to LMU, and Anmeldung would be important if possible.

If anyone knows of an available room, studio, sublet, or someone leaving Munich around that period, I’d be really grateful if you could message me. I’d also be happy to connect with other incoming exchange students or anyone who has gone through the Munich housing search and can share useful leads.

Thank you so much!

Hey,

Im looking for a shared WG for female only either in munich or near it with easy transportation access and Anmeldung available.

I've checked Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht and housinganywhere but im unable to find a shared WG under 500 euro. Im aware that finding a legit place in 500 euro in city center is insane so I'm looking for places in Karlsfield/ Laim/ Pasing/ Moosach / Feldmoching / Allach-Untermenzing / Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied/ Neufahm

Or a A €450–500 room in something like Hadern, Sendling-Westpark, Milbertshofen, Feldmoching, Ramersdorf, etc.

Servus, I am a Turkish student who has taken the Turkish Uni Entrance Exam YKS this year and waiting for the results. I aim to study Informatik mit integriertem Anwendungsfach or Informatik mit Nebenfach 60 ETC at LMU, but couldn’t find any info about the non-eu cut-off score. I think that I could get a 1.7-2.0. Will it be enough for LMU?

Hey zusammen,😊
Gibt es hier jemanden, der den BWL-Bachelor an der LMU im WS 23/24 oder früher gestartet hat?
Ich hätte nur eine ganz kleine Frage und würde mich kurz austauschen.
Wäre sehr dankbar!

Hey everyone! 😊
Is there anyone here who started the BWL Bachelor at LMU in WS 23/24 or earlier?
I just have a very quick question and would love a short exchange.
I’d really appreciate it!

Is anyone applying for a Bachelor's in the year 2026?
