Differing registration deadline for the TUM Test (opens in a new tab)

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 stage 1 of the aptitude assessment procedure, there is a difference between applicants who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” and those who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention”.

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. Aptitude assessment allows the TUM school or department to which you are applying the opportunity to evaluate your individual talents and motivation for study.

Applicants for the Master's program in Power Engineering who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” have to provide evidence of successful participation in a TUM Test in Power Engineering. For more information, please visit wiki.tum.de/display/edschooloffice/Application+-+MSC-PE (opens in a new tab).

During the application period, you must apply through the TUMonline application portal (opens in a new tab) and upload your application documents.

If you receive an offer of admission, you will additionally have to submit individual documents as notarized hardcopies (opens in a new tab) by post to be enrolled.

Generally, applicants with a qualification for postgraduate studies (e.g. a bachelor’s) obtained outside of the EU / EEA must have their documents reviewed in advance through uni-assist. (opens in a new tab)
