Executive MBA

Please upload the following documents as PDF files:

Complete and current resume/CV, without chronological gaps, on a monthly basis and in English. Every month since secondary school should somehow be accounted for. If you have been on a time-off for a period of time, you may provide details such as relocation, job search, family or caregiving responsibilities, travel, etc.

Letter of Motivation in English. AI tool usage is permitted. Please refer to the document “Letter of Motivation & Essay Guidelines” for further information.

Proof of at least three years of relevant full-time professional experience acquired after the first academic degree and by the time of application, e.g. by confirming references from your current and/or previous employer on their letterhead and signed by a person responsible in the HR department or your team lead. Your contact details, including role as well as the exact start and end dates of your employment, must be explicitly stated. Internships do not count as full-time professional experience. In the case of self-employment, an extract from the commercial register or a confirmation letter from co-founders or co-directors is required.

Subject and grade transcript of the first university degree, including all passed modules, ECTS and the final grade. Even if you already have a Master’s degree, the transcript from the first university’s degree must be submitted.

Copy of your valid passport or ID (complete / both sides).

If the original documents (e.g. academic degree documents or confirmation of professional experience) are not in English or German, please attach additionally a certified translation of the documents.

Special conditions for certain countries, e.g. applicants from China, India or Vietnam, need to be aware of additional requirements (e.g. APS – Certificate of the Academic Evaluation Center).

If required, preliminary review documentation (VPD) by uni-assist.e.v. In our experience, this process could take up to six weeks, therefore we highly recommend to start with the process and apply to the program as soon as possible.

In addition, only for the Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation program, please upload an Essay on TUMonline. Please refer to the document “Letter of Motivation & Essay Guidelines” for further information.

Please find detailed information about the requirements of the documents in TUM Glossary of Documents and the TUM FAQ’s.
