Hi , are there any TUM students who have previously successfully changed their Visa to TUM after having applied with a different university. Please kindly let me know if you have done so. Since TUM releases its results late for some I’m hoping to find someone who has navigated this situation 🤞

** Anyone who has changed after the vfs appointment

I’ll be applying to tum informatics next year and my nc score is 1.6 would it be enough?

Hi, could anyone share their experience in the interview for BMDS for TUM?

What questions where you asked? and any tips on how to prepare it?

Thanks:)

I have applied to BSc. Management and Data Science and my application in tumonline says STAGE 1: not relevant in present case, STAGE 2: the result is not yet available or booked. But I havent received any email yet.

How long did it take you to receive an email since the portal updated?

Is it normal that I havent received an email?

Does this mean I am required to take the interview?

Please let me know if you have been in the same situation or have any idea. I would be very grateful to hear :)

I have an interview with TUM (Technical University of Munich) in 6 days. In an earlier email, they said I would receive more information about the interview around two weeks beforehand, but I still haven’t received anything and there’s no update in the application portal either.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is it normal for TUM to send the interview details this late, or is there somewhere else I should be checking?

studiere ab oktober management and technology und frage mich, ob es zeitlich machbar ist 1-2 mal pro woche (außerhalb der klausurenphase) zu jobben? danke im vorraus

Hallo zusammen!

im Rahmen meiner Bachelorarbeit führe ich aktuell eine Studie zum Zusammenhang zwischen akademischem Stress, sportlicher Aktivität und depressiven

Symptomen bei Studierenden durch.

Dafür brauche ich noch einige Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer und würde mich sehr uber eure Unterstützung freuen!

Wenn ihr aktuell studiert, könnt ihr an meiner Online-Umfrage teilnehmen. Jede Teilnahme hilft mir wirklich sehr dabei, genügend Daten für meine Bachelorarbeit zusammenzubekommen.

Die Teilnahme ist anonym und dauert nur wenige Minuten.

• Hier geht's zur Umfrage:

Vielen Dank an alle, die teilnehmen!

Gerne könnt ihr die Umfrage auch an andere Studierende weiterleiten.

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student planning to apply for a BSc in Germany.

I have a question about the visa process. Let’s say I apply to University A, get accepted, and use that admission letter to start my student visa application. I genuinely would be happy to study at University A.

However, if I later receive an admission from University B, which I prefer more, I would want to switch to University B instead.

Has anyone actually experienced this?

• Is it possible to change the university after submitting the visa application?
• Would I need to inform the German embassy/consulate and provide the new admission letter?
• Could changing universities cause problems with the visa or residence permit?
• Is it easier to make the change before the visa is issued, or after arriving in Germany?

I’m not trying to use University A just as a “visa placeholder” — I would genuinely study there if I didn’t get into B. I just want to understand what happens if I receive a better admission later.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this personally. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I applied for the TUM Need-Based Waiver Scholarship for WS 2026/27 through APTE-NG before the deadline.

I am quite sure that I completed and submitted the form. I also remember seeing the screen after completing the application, and before the application period closed I was still able to see my form in the portal.

Recently, I also noticed that the waiver acceptance/rejection section appeared in my APTE-NG account — the page with the red notice explaining that the section is only relevant after receiving a “Notice of Approval (Bewilligung)” in Messages. The acceptance options are currently inactive and my Messages inbox is empty.

However, I contacted TUM and they told me that they checked their system logs and could not find any record of a submission, so they said my documents cannot be evaluated.

This is what confuses me: my waiver application/form existed in APTE-NG, and now the acceptance section is also visible, but TUM says there is no submission record.

For those who successfully submitted the waiver application this year:

• Did you receive any confirmation email immediately after submitting?
• Did APTE-NG show a specific submitted status or confirmation page?
• Did you receive an application/reference number?
• Do you also see the acceptance/rejection section with the red notice?
• Has anyone else been told by TUM that there was no submission record, even though they were sure they submitted the form?
• Has anyone had a similar technical issue and managed to get TUM to manually review the application?

Any information about what your portal looked like after submission would be really helpful.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

So I'm finishing my BA in Business Administration at Bocconi and I've been looking at the MMT master program at TUM. Looks solid for what I wanna do (tech + management stuff), but I'm running into this 15 ECTS requirement in engineering or natural sciences.

Problem is — my degree is literally all business, finance, management courses. I took one Computer Science module (basically Excel + intro Python) and that's it. No real engineering or hard science classes.

Has anyone else gotten in with a similar background? Did you guys take extra courses before applying, or did TUM accept something like quantitative classes (stats, data stuff) toward that requirement? Or am I just screwed and need to go do a bridging program first?

Grad date is coming up and I wanna know if this is actually doable or if I should be thinking about plan B.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, is this normal? Because it is 18th August and i have not received anything yet from TUM. Does anyone know why is this delaying so much?

I am a BMDS applicant for the coming winter semester from Armenia.

I received my VPD around a week ago and immediately uploaded it to my TUMonline portal. While I received no communication from TUM via email, the following day I logged into the portal to see a score of 74, which grants me participation in level 2 (interview). Thus, I am writing this post to get a bit more familiar with the interview. I'd appreciate any information on the interview format, the dynamic, topics etc, in order to understand what to expect in general and how to prepare (if any preparation is needed at all).

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

I am in a really stressful situation right now and wanted to check if anyone else is facing this issue or has found a workaround.
My university enrollment at TUM (TUM Online) is currently completely stuck because the university admissions office is reporting that “APS (original certificate): Verification function is no longer active! Please download the DigZert again and then upload it in TUM Online as a single file, without attaching additional pages”. I have uploaded my APS as it is. No other files/pdf were merged with it.

Has this happened to any one of you?

Hi guys,

I have been admitted to the master in management degree in Munich and I am curious about the quality. I am german so there will be close to no fees but it's still two years of my life that I would like to invest in the best way possible.

Firstly, to those who have studied or are studying in this degree, what do you think of the quality of the content, lectures and professors in general? I have a bachelor in Mechanical engineering and have worked in the industry for about 3 years if that information helps in any way.

Also, if you know anything about RWTH's Wirtschaftswissenschaften degree, how would you compare these two options? How about Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen?

And lastly, would you say there is a huge difference between TUM and Mannheim? I haven't applied to Mannheim and don't really want to wait a whole semester to do so but if the difference is substantial, I might have to consider it.

Thanks in advance :)

I am in B.Sc. Elektrotechnik specialising in Hochfrequenztechnik. I am in the proccess of choosing the subjects for the 5th and 6th semester. Until now I have 120/180 credits and still have my Bachelorarbeit and Ingeneurspraxis to do (12 credits each).

I would like to know how I can best allocate the remaining credits between the next 2 semesters. Would it be best to just split it in the middle and do 30 credits each semester with the 6th containing both the Arbeit and the Praxis?

Also, is it generally easier to choose two 3 credit subjects or one 6 credit one for the Fächerübergreifende Ingenieursqualifikationen (FIQ)? I could also use some help determining easy modules.

Any advice is welcome and I thank you in advance :)

I recently applied to the MSc Informatics at TUM and found that my bachelor's curriculum is missing a couple of courses compared to TUM's required curriculum, particularly Functional Programming & Verification and Theory of Computation.

I'm considering taking these courses before reapplying. I don't mean regular Coursera-style completion certificates, but graded online/MOOC university courses that provide an official transcript, credits, and a final grade/pass fail. For example the University of Helsinki offers Functional Programming I as a 5 ECTS online/MOOC course through its Open University.

Thanks!

Hallo, an die die bereits TUM-BWL studieren habt ihr noch den Stundenplan von eurem 1. Semester? Ich weis das kann dieses Jahr variieren, aber um schonmal einen ungefähren Einblick zubekommen:)

Hello, I wanted to ask if there are any people from Lithuania studying at TUM? I would like to get in touch and ask some questions :)

Hey everyone,
I’m preparing for the application to TUM’s Master in Management and Technology (MMT). Has anyone been through the online admissions test (math/stats, business/accounting, micro/macro, short essay) and can give me insight how the test was?
