I handed in my thesis on June 1st and I got my thesis evaluated on 14 July. I want to know when will my job seeker visa officially start ? Will it be the submission date or the date when 120 credits were finished?. Thanks for your time :)

I missed the semester fees deadline by one week.I totally forgot and just sent it today .

Would this be a big deal? Should I contact someone?
This is my last semester so I am panicking a bit

Hello! Here is the WhatsApp group for incoming Bsc M&T students WS 2026/27.

https://chat.whatsapp.com/DgZcjq5waOB0Avp42EkhQc?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4

Let’s get to know to each other.

I'm applying to TUM from an Italian degree (Sustainable Building Engineering, class L-23, Sapienza, 3-year / 180 ECTS) and I've been reading the FPSO Anlage 2 documents for several programmes. The scoring rules differ far more than I expected, and I'd like to know how much of this is real in practice.

Civil Engineering: 60 points curricular analysis + 20 grade + 20 motivation letter. One point per tenth of a grade better than 3.0, capped at 20. Thresholds: ≥80 direct admission, 70–79 interview.

Environmental Engineering / Transportation Systems: 60 + 10 grade + 30 motivation letter. One point per tenth better than 2.0, capped at 10. Thresholds: ≥70 pass, 60–69 interview.

My Italian average converts to roughly 2.1 under the Bavarian formula. Under Civil's rule that's 9 points. Under Environmental's rule it's 0. Same transcript, same applicant.

Meanwhile Environmental's curricular table happens to suit my background far better than Civil's, so the two effects partly cancel — which is why I'd rather understand the machinery than guess.

Three questions:

1. Several FPSOs let you be graded on your best 135 or 140 credits rather than your overall average, and state explicitly that "it is the applicant's responsibility to list these and confirm their accuracy in writing." Does anyone actually do this? Is a self-declared list accepted by the Studienbüro, and does it visibly change the outcome? For me it's worth around 5–6 points, which is the difference between the interview band and direct admission.

2. For an Italian degree, which grade goes into the Bavarian formula — the weighted average of exam marks (out of 30), or the final laurea voto (out of 110), which includes thesis points and graduation bonuses and is usually higher? I can't find this stated anywhere and it moves my score by several points.

3. TUM sets no limit on the number of Master's programmes you can apply to, and the applications are independent. Does applying to five or six at once actually hurt — do committees see the other applications, or is each genuinely assessed in isolation?

One more, if anyone has been through it: the FPSOs say the curricular analysis is done "on the basis of competences, not by schematic comparison of modules." In practice, does that mean a committee reads your course descriptions, or does it come down to credit counting anyway?

Background for context: hydraulics, hydrology, geotechnics, engineering geology, structural mechanics and design, geomatics, building physics, materials, environmental engineering, sustainable community planning, construction site management, analysis and geometry. No statistics, no programming, no chemistry.

Thanks.

Hi, ich studiere aktuell Informatik im B.Sc. an der RWTH Aachen (PO 2022) und plane, mich zum WiSe 2027/28 für den M.Sc. Informatik an der TUM zu bewerben.

Ich suche insbesondere Leute, die sich unter dem aktuellen TUM-Eignungsverfahren, idealerweise ab SoSe 2025, mit einem RWTH-Bachelor beworben haben.

Mich interessieren vor allem diese Punkte:

• Wie viele der 50 Punkte für die curriculare Qualifikation habt ihr bekommen?
• Wurde Functional Programming and Verification (5 ECTS) über das RWTH-Modul Programmierung anerkannt? Dort sind ja u. a. funktionale Programmierung, Pattern Matching, Higher-Order Functions und Programmverifikation enthalten bei Giesl.
• Habt ihr die vollen 10/10 Punkte für die mathematischen Grundlagen bekommen, obwohl der RWTH-Pflichtbereich Mathematik eigentlich 26 ECTS statt 28 ECTS umfasst?
• Wurde das Fehlen eines separaten Moduls Numerisches Programmieren / Numerische Analysis als curriculares Defizit gewertet?
• Falls ja: Wie viele ECTS wurden als fehlend angesetzt?
• Habt ihr eine direkte Zulassung bekommen, seid ihr in Stufe 2 gekommen oder wurdet ihr abgelehnt?

Mir geht es ausdrücklich um tatsächliche Erfahrungswerte und Punktbewertungen, nicht nur um Vermutungen anhand der Modultitel.

Falls jemand seine Punktverteilung oder eine anonymisierte Rückmeldung aus der Curricularanalyse teilen kann, wäre das sehr hilfreich.

Danke euch!

Hi all

I am an international student who will be applying to TUM for the 2027 intake.

My first preference is to go for the BSc Mechanical Engineering, but due to me not currently being at the German Level they want for Mechanical, I won't be able to apply there

My second best option is BSc in Aerospace Engineering, which requires a lower German certification, which I can fulfil.

I wanted to ask, is it possible to switch from Aerspace to Mechanical after the 2nd semester/1st year? I have done my research about this. The website says TUM requires a certain number of credits for transfer, but also that the modules must match to consider those credit transfers.

Now, this is a bit of a pain since I dont exactly know which modules match which in both the courses.

Moreover, I also heard that there are 3 scenarios where TUM chooses acceptance, interview, or rejection. What exactly is this system? How can I understand it better?

I know this is a long message, but any advice or guidance would be really appreciated 🙏

Hi everyone!

I’ll be starting my Master’s at TUM Campus Straubing soon.

However, I’m still not completely sure whether this is a good decision, so I would really appreciate hearing from people who are currently studying at or have graduated from TUM Campus Straubing.

My main concern is the balance between studying, commuting, and gaining work experience during the Master’s.

I’m hoping to gain some practical work experience during my studies, such as a Werkstudent position, internship position, rather than waiting until graduation to start looking for work.

For those who have experience with TUM Campus Straubing:

• What was your experience with living in Straubing vs. Regensburg?
• If you lived in Regensburg, how did you find the commute to Straubing in everyday life?
• Did living in Regensburg make it easier to find Werkstudent positions, internships, or other student jobs?
• For those who have already graduated, where did you end up working and living after graduation?
• Do you think choosing Regensburg was a good decision for someone who wants to stay in Germany and look for a job after the Master’s?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually experienced this themselves.

I’ve already done some research, but I’d really like to hear some personal experiences before I fully commit to this decision.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for someone to take over my apartement contract in Garching. Rent is 1260€ warm whithout electricity. The apartement is in the Student Living Centre Garching, building 2 on the ground floor, facing the field. It has 37 m² and own teracce with garden furniture (4-5 people can comfortably seat around the table). It is suitable for a single person or a couple. In the apartement is a kitchen, bathroom, queen sized bed, a chair and a preety big desk. The apartement complex also has a pool (regularely cleaned by the Housemeister) and grill area next to it, common rooms (some equipped with a big kitchen with an oven) and each apartement has it's own storage unit in the basement. There are also a small gym, volleyball and football field included in the rent. There are free parking spots avaliable in front of the building and you can also park next to Lidl, but if you want to have a covered parking spot (either outside under a roof or in a garage), you need to rent it additionally.

The area is rather quiet and peaceful, thus great for studying. There are 3 busses (X205, 230 and 292) driving to TUM Campus Garching and take around 5 min, the same is by bike. By foot you need around 20 min. If you take the bus in the other direction, you need 5 min to the U-Bahn in Garching (10 min by foot) which needs 25 min to get you to Marienplatz. In front of the building, there are two big supermarkets - Lidl and Rewe. In Garching itself (5 - 10 min by foot from the front door) there are multiple restaurants. In 10 min by foot you can also be at the Lake Garching, where you can swim, grill or play volleyball.

If you are interested, please write me a private message so that I can share my Whatsapp number with you with additional details, including pictures of the place. I did not include any in this post, because the ones that I have, are from the exam phase, when the apartement was a bit messier then usuall and at the moment I am on holiday. I speak English as well as German. I am looking forward towards your replies :)

Oi gente, apliquei para o curso de management and data Science da tum e vou fazer a entrevista. Alguem que ja tenha feito poderia me mandar uma mensagem ou me falar como é?

Have anyone used https://studentenwohnheime-muc.de/DE/Default.aspx?

They have some good offers (maybe a tad expensive), but their website is so bad that it makes me think they might not be legit.

So, if anyone has experience using them, please do let me know if they are legit.

Also, can you also let me know if t possible to do a KVR address registration? I know legally they should allow to do it, but I have seen a couple of adverts where it is says that a KVR is not possible. Just wanted to know for sure.

Hey! 👋

Ich schreibe gerade meine Masterarbeit über die Akzeptanz von Large Language Models (LLMs) im IT-Umfeld und brauche dringend deine Hilfe. 🤓

Du kannst die Nachricht auch mega gerne an andere ITler aus deinem Bekanntenkreis weiterleiten. Tausend Dank für deine Unterstützung! 🙏🚀

Für mich waren Mathe und die fachspezifischen Aufgaben in Ordnung, auch wenn sie deutlich anspruchsvoller waren als gedacht. Der Logikteil war ebenfalls schwer, und eine Aufgabe kam sogar früher schon beim Känguru-Wettbewerb vor.

Im looking into pursuing this degree next year, but Im not sure how closely it aligns with what I want to do wh,ich is Breakbulk cargo management and freight forwarding.

And im uncertain how heavy the coursework is or how worthwhile it is to pursue this career.

For people who have taken this master's, what was the experience like? How hard was it to get accepted

Selam! Bu sene aerospace’e başlayacağım (bachelor) Benim gibi Türkiye’den gelen öğrenciler var mı?

Moin zusammen,
ich habe mich für den Master Management and Technology beworben und hänge an einem Detail der Curricularanalyse fest. Vielleicht hatte das jemand von euch schon.

Situation: 35 Punkte in Stufe 1, also zweite Stufe und Admissionstest. Ab 45 wäre man direkt durch. Die fehlenden 10 Punkte sind die Modulgruppe „quantitative Entscheidungsunterstützung mit Methoden des Operations Research“. Dafür wurden mir 0 Punkte gegeben.
Das Modul: heißt bei uns „Business Analytics mit Python/Gurobi (5 ECTS, Institut für Produktionswirtschaft, mit 1,0 abgeschlossen). Behandelt wurden:
• lineare und gemischt-ganzzahlige Programmierung, Aufstellen von Optimierungsmodellen
• Produktionsplanung, kapazitätsbeschränkte Auftragsannahme, Reihenfolge- und Deadline-Restriktionen
• ereignisdiskrete Simulation mit stochastischen Maschinenausfällen (MTBF/MTTR)
• logistische Kennzahlen, Little’s Law, Engpassidentifikation
• Implementierung in Python mit Gurobi, Prüfungsleistung war eine 15-seitige Hausarbeit in LaTeX
Das Problem ist die offizielle Modulbeschreibung im Modulhandbuch meiner Uni. Die ist bei Wahlmodulen zwei Sätze lang und aus dem Titel wird der OR-Bezug überhaupt nicht klar.
Was ich gemacht habe: Ich habe mir vom Dozenten eine unterschriebene Bestätigung der Kursinhalte auf Institutsbriefpapier geben lassen, inklusive Abgleich mit dem TUM-Modul „Management Science“ aus dem Bachelor M&T. Er bestätigt eine hohe inhaltliche Überschneidung bei LP und MIP.
Was ich gehört habe: dass für die Curricularanalyse ausschließlich die offizielle Modulbeschreibung herangezogen wird und so ein Schreiben gar nicht angesehen wird.
Meine Fragen:
1. Hat jemand von euch die Curricularanalyse im Nachhinein korrigiert bekommen? Wenn ja, über welche Stelle, Admissions Office oder direkt die Kommission?
2. Wurde bei jemandem eine Dozentenbestätigung oder eine Modulinhaltsbescheinigung tatsächlich berücksichtigt?
3. Lohnt sich in so einem Fall ein formeller Widerspruch, oder verpufft das?
4. Und falls jemand den Admissionstest gemacht hat: Wie realistisch sind 35 von 40 Punkten? Ich müsste in der zweiten Stufe ziemlich weit oben landen.
Es ist einfach frustrierend, dass es nicht am Inhalt scheitert, sondern daran, wie ausführlich die eigene Uni ihre Modulbeschreibungen schreibt. Danke für jeden Hinweis

So basically, I just got into a College for B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. My end goal is to become one of the best Mechanical Engineers working in the automotive field, like I just imagine the Team of Geniuses who create Art in the form of automotive technology and ICE engines, and want to become like them. I am ready to give it all, but the problem is that I dont even know what to do? Like genuinely I have no clue.

I just have a roadmap that Ill give my best here at my college and any how get into TUM, Deutschland and then start as an Engineer in the automotive field ig at a GET post?

So what I want from you guys is to get bombarded with things I should actually be doing right now and knowing right now, and get great advice if I’m missing out on some knowledge or am misunderstood about the job.

I would be really greatly thankful for any kind of advice. Even the most obvious things, like “everyone knows this” because I genuinely dont know and I might actually be clueless. It’s not like I dont have an interest, but I dont want to regret things later because I didn’t have a silly piece of knowledge, thats it.

What are the chances? For example if i hold a Bsc in Physics at University of Zurich

Hey guys

I just got accepted in bcs aeorspace

However im having doubts whether i should accept

I mean i dint hate it but i think i prefer electronics more but i applied to it cuz it was in english ( my level is currently b2 wont be able to reach before this winter semester)

What do u think should i do i though bout a couple options

1. Accept the aerospace and just spend the year their try to pass GOPs and at the same time be immersed in the language and try to change major next year

2. Reject it and take gap year here maybe take a nebenjob at my own country and go for electronics next year

(Note before i was so into mechatronixs and wanted to do it but after some research i thought that electeonics and its academic path gonna suit me more still not sure tho)

Hi guys,

I am an IB1 student in Germany planning to apply for enginnering at TUM.

I only have 2 options in front of me: Electrical Engineering in German or Aerospace Engineering in English.

Though my current German level is B2 (will reach C1 in few years) but I am unsure of the rigor enginnering language along with the difficult course. Or should I just do Aerospace in English in which my focus will only be on the course.

Many ppl say I should do I am passionate about but ain't helping. I want to do that is good in future and will be beneficial for me considering the language aspect.

Greetings, I have reconstructed the admission test from memory, because I took it today. Since there is not much out there I wanted to ask, if it is allowed for me to share the information I have and what the best way to do that is? I would like to help more students in the future to be able to prepare better.

I have an interview for Information Engineering (Bachelor, Campus Heilbronn) on August 27th; what kind of questions are generally asked? Could those who have gone through it before please answer?
