The application at TUM School of Management does not include an offer for a room in a dormitory. All exchange students can apply for a dorm room of the student union with their online application. However, these dorm rooms are primarily reserved for exchange students coming to TUM via the special TUMexchange mobility program. Most Erasmus+ and Departmental exchange students will have to find a room themselves on the private market.

In order to make your search for accommodation in Munich easier, you can use the same methods to find accommodation in Munich as regular students and TUM Global & Alumni Office lists accommodation offers created by students, who are currently studying abroad.

Current accomodation offered by TUM SoM students

In addition, we list accommodation offers created by TUM SoM students who will study abroad themselves.

If you are interested in any of the rooms or apartments from the list below, send an email to hiwi-abroad@mgt.tum.de, and we will send you the details on how to get in contact with the landlords.

Please find the accommodation offers for the winter term 2022/23 here.

PLEASE NOTE

We are always trying to keep our list of accommodation offers current and up-to-date. Please note that we still cannot guarantee the accuracy of all offers and are not involved in any rental contracts. If you happen to select an accommodation offer from our list, please let us know.

Additional Tips

For additional tips and advice on finding accommodation in Munich, visit the website of TUM Global & Alumni Office  or see the guidelines on “Finding a new home in Munich”.

As an international exchange student, you can attend all lectures, tutorials and seminars held at TUM School of Management, just like home students, on both the B.Sc. and the M.Sc. level with no restrictions. You can also attend courses in other departments of the Technical University of Munich, including at the Language Center (less than 40% of your number of courses and ECTS).

Browse through TUMonline and have a look at our course catalog that lists our most common courses to find out which subjects at TUM School of Management interest you. Based on this information, you can create your study program with your preferred courses in advance and will be able to make or revise your choices later on, when the finalized list of courses is made available – usually a few weeks prior to the start of a term.

Note that minor changes may occur to this list as courses are only finalized a few weeks before the start of each semester.

Exchange students at TUM School of Management can apply for our official Buddy Program. They will be matched with a local regular student of TUM School of Management who will help and support them throughout their exchange. A buddy offers guidance and advice, and helps when questions about studying in Munich or student life in general arise.

In addition to that, we offer a lot of social events. Members of the Buddy Program organize excursions, leisure time activities and exclusive get-togethers. You will be regularly updated by email and Facebook events. Your buddy will contact you a few weeks before you arrive in Munich and might even be able to pick you up from the airport.

We will send you all further information regarding how to sign up for the Buddy Program prior to your exchange semester. If you have any suggestions for a social event or questions about the program, contact our student assistants via hiwi-abroad@mgt.tum.de.

COURSE REGISTRATION

Browse through our course catalog, which lists all courses that take place regularly to outline your intended study program. There are three types of courses at TUM School of Management: lectures (“Vorlesung”), exercises (“Übung”) and seminars (“Seminar”). Usually, you sign up for lectures and exercises during the first session. For seminars, you need to apply in advance. Further information about the application modes for seminars will be released on TUMonline a few weeks prior to the beginning of the lecture period.

After you are accepted as an exchange student at TUM School of Management, you are not automatically registered for the courses listed in your application document. You need to sign up for all courses you wish to take yourself.

The final list of courses and their enrollment details will be available only a few weeks prior to the start of each semester. For this reason, you can change your study program after the finalized list of courses is released, or even after you arrive in Munich. Make sure that you check with your home university for any deadlines and rules regarding changes to your study program.
