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.

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”.

Applicants for the Master's program in Nutrition and Biomedicine who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” have to provide evidence of a successful participation in a TUM Test Power Engineering, graded with a point system.

For applicants for the Master's program in Nutrition and Biomedicine who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention”, the grades obtained during the Bachelor's program and the Transcript of Records will be evaluated using a point system.

Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected, or invited to an interview.
