“University of excellence”
Thea K
Germany, Undergraduate
Informatics, 2020
Overall
I study computer science, so my view is based on the informatics department.
TUM is known as one of the best universities world wide for informatics which I can only confirm. The level of studies and the requirements are very high, you notice that they strive towards challenging their students. However, I like that TUM is not bragging about it, there is little advertisement (such as some American universities do) and also professors, tutors etc are quite neutral. The campus (informatics/mathematics building Garching) is modern with great architecture, to me it feels even futuristic.

High level of education, professors are one of the best world wide in their subject

students need to be very independent, the campus for informatics, physics, mathematics etc is quite far away from the city

“Excellente université”
Marine H
Germany, Undergraduate
Economics, 2019
Overall
Il y a un large choix de cours ce qui permet de pouvoir se focaliser sur ce que l'on veut vraiment apprendre. De manière générale les cours sont vraiment intéressants et les professeurs sont motivés à apprendre aux élèves leur savoir.
Le campus est très grand, il faut savoir que pas loin de la TUM, se trouve une autre très grande université (LMU), se qui rend le quartier très animé.
L'université organise très souvent des évènements ce qui permet de rencontrer pleins d'autres étudiants.
Je ne peux que recommander cette université.

Facilities need to be upgraded especially in the area of internet connectivity. The external environment needs to be spruce up as well especially the lighting at night.

Personal comments
Basic German is a definite must to survive there. It is quite interesting to talk to locals and to find out their special customs. When I speak German to locals, they are pretty impressed with me and they are more friendly.
