Application procedure
Selection process
Candidate Assessment
If your application complies with the stated requirements, you will be invited to participate in a (consecutive) two-day assessment event, which takes place at the LMU in Munich (Germany), normally during June (in 2019: June 3 and 4, 2019) of the respective intake year. On the first selection day, you are required to take a written examination with a duration of 120 minutes that contains open questions in the areas of both business administration and informatics. During the second selection day, you are going to have an hour-long oral examination, which consists of a group interview with in total four candidates that is held by two professors with a background in business and informatics. You will be accepted to the MMT program, if you pass both the written and the oral examination.
Please note: We advise all international applicants to - if necessary - apply for a German visa as soon as they apply for the MMT program, since due to legal reasons a physical presence of all invited candidates is obligatory during both days. We do not provide the opportunity to conduct parts of the selection process via other communication channels. Absence at the selection event automatically leads to a rejection of your application.
