Frequently Asked Questions
Are TUM programmes free for international students?
Most bachelor's programmes (taught in German) are tuition-free. Many English-taught master's programmes at TUM charge tuition — typically EUR 2,000–5,000 per semester for international students. Bavaria (TUM's state) introduced tuition for non-EU international students in 2024 for some programmes. Always check the specific programme's fee structure.
Do I need to speak German to study at TUM?
For German-taught bachelor's programmes, C1 German is required. For English-taught master's programmes (including Computer Science, Data Engineering, Robotics, Management), no German is required for admission — though basic German knowledge helps daily life in Munich.
