Bachelor’s degree obtained after a program of at least six semesters from a German or foreign institution of higher education or at least an equivalent degree in engineering, science, economics, social sciences or comparable programs.
Application Period Winter semester: 01.01. – 31.05.
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.
Minimum requirements to apply for a Master’s program at TUM are a recognized undergraduate degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s) and the successful completion of the aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment gives the TUM School to which you are applying the opportunity to evaluate your individual talents and motivation for study.
During the application period, you must apply through the [TUMonline application portal](https://www.tum.de/en/studies/application/application-inf...) and upload your application documents.
[Here you will find detailed information on the requirements for the documents you need to upload for application and admission to TUM.](https://www.tum.de/en/studies/application/application-inf...)
Generally, applicants with a qualification for postgraduate studies (e.g. a Bachelor’s) obtained outside of Germany must have their documents [reviewed in advance through uni-assist.](https://www.tum.de/en/studies/application/application-inf...)
The Bachelor’s degree must already be available at the time of application and must be submitted until the end of the application deadline at the latest (31 May). Your application will not be valid without proof of successful completion of studies (i.e. submission of a final transcript of records with degree date stated, or, if this is not yet available: submission of a certificate of completion of studies together with preliminary transcript).
This programme applies directly or via uni-assist. Submit your documents through the correct channel before the deadline.
