“A good university but not all departments are in heigh quality”

Maryam

Management Science

Technische Universität München

4.0/5

Overall

TUM is very well-known, I expected more before starting m,y master program there. But I would say the quality of the courses depends on the department. If it is a good department in the university, it may satisfy you. But if not, am not sure.

Pros

a big budget on research and good opportunities for student work

3.8/5

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because you have the chance of knowing a lot of different people in the same sitution as you, and that makes you feel more integrated.

Personal comments

The residences are big, there are lots of students and also events where you can meet a lot of people. Being clean or not depends on the people you live with, but it is normally ok! It is quite cheap, you can have a room for 250 to 350 euro, and although it might be far from city center or the University, it is very good communicated. Public transport works very good and you will be able to arrive any place in 20 min. The University is new. There is one campus in the city centre and another 20min away, but teachers tend to help international students because german language is quite difficult, and that helps to learn faster!

Course recommendations

For me; all the time there are things to be fixed to be enhanced. Course context are getting better each day but can be dealed with elective courses as well.

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

In my country they are trying to apply a new system similar to America. But sometimes because of the cultural differences sometimes it makes me think how suitable is this system to us. Both the university and the other foundations have to financially support and encourage students to be more enthusiastic for scientific researchs.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Personal comments

if you meet exchange students you learn a strange german, it is better to meet german students, but it´s not so easy. The tumis provide a tandem service so that you can meet german students that are learning your language.There is no problem if you don´t mind speaking your language so that they can practice and learn it.It is a little bit annoying.The best thing is to meet german students that don´t speak your language
