Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.

What's next?
The online application is the first step of your application for a degree program at TUM. For applications for summer semester 2020 or later, you no longer have to submit any hardcopies at this point.
The second step is enrollment. This takes place only after you have received admission and accepted your study place. For enrollment, you will have to hand in certain documents in a specific form – e.g. as notarized hardcopies. As soon as you have received admission and accepted your study place, the relevant information will appear in your TUMonline account.
