Technical University of Munich: Courses, Fees & Admission 2026

• Infrastructure is world-class. There isn't a lot of time for extracurricular activities, but there are various clubs available for those interested.

• 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.

• There are as such no campus fests or such.. there are different events organised by different groups that everyone can take part in. TU Munich has 3 campuses and each of them have some fests going on during varipus times of the year.
• There are also city wide fests like Oktober fest, Fruhlingsfest, Maibaum fest, auerdult which are open to everyone to take part in. every department has its own library which is very nice, there is a centralised gym and sports complex, but if its not close to your home, there are cheaper gyms availbale in the city too.

• 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.
   

• We have our like three main campuses and there is one more in Heilbronn, but their locations are quite far away from each other. I live on a main campus, which is near the city.
• All sorts of facilities are available on the main campus, like library but there is no specific sports facility. Medical service, yes. Major campus festivals like tunics, garnics, and there are so many clubs that you can join that takes place at the college. Extracurricular activities are not essentially in the curriculum but you can do them on your own since you're in the master's.

• 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)

• TUM has 6 campuses across Germany and Singapore. These are :
  • Munich City Campus - Maxvorstadt, central Munich
  • Garching Research Campus - Garching
  • Weihenstephan Campus - Freising
  • Straubing Campus - Straubing, Lower Bavaria
  • Heilbronn Campus - Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg
  • TUM Asia - Singapore
• Our campus has a gym, every department has its own library, and there are dedicated buildings for medical facilities.
• While there are many festivals, especially during the summer, I did not partake in most of them, as I was too busy with my studies.
• There are sports clubs; some of my friends were part of the chess clubs, and there are lots of facilities to play any and all kinds of sports. Every student is entitled to a €10 per semester subscription for the facilities developed during the 1972 Olympics. There are other student-led organisations, but I was never active in them

• 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).

There are events happening, and there are some extracurricular activities present, too, I have not participated in much, so I don't know, but yeah, they are there. TUM has three campuses, and there are facilities available on the campus, libraries, sports and TUM, and even a hospital itself. I haven't done much of extracurricular activities in college, so I don't have much idea about those.

Great for developing overall intercultural competence and networking opportunities.

Just excellent! I found myself bewildered looking at the abundance of extracurricular activities at TUM. There was always some or the other event going on. The student community is very active. There are various clubs such as Studentische Verein for student politics and ESN TUMi for foreign students. They organise regular trips and treks; language meets, food and movie fests etc. so one never feels alone in a foreign country. The Gym membership and sports facilities at ZHS were accessible and affordable. The library was very well organised too.

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.

There are around 180 student clubs with everything ranging from Business and entrepreneurship to religious and spiritual. We also have numerous social, cultural, casual as well as career-oriented events frequently. The university also has support for the startup ideas of the students. The library offers a variety of free resources to assist the studies and also provides a large study space. The wifi is unlimited and free to use. There are no sports facilities on my campus but they have a separate campus for sports science which the TUM students can access at a very cheap price.

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.

Campus life is very good and diverse. Students from all over the world come here to study and the infrastructure is very modern.

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 .

The campus is amazing, and have lot of clubs. The culture here is pretty laid-back and cool. Research facilities are top notch and library is one of the best thing here.

It was closer to home and tied up with Nanayang Technological University, Singapore.

The campus of NTU was beautiful, TUM-Asia wasnt much of a campus but a building, so we used NTU facilities on a daily basis.
