CAMPUS MUNICH

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 summer term 2023 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”.

CAMPUS HEILBRONN

You as an exchange student coming to TUM School of Management in campus Heilbronn via Erasmus have to look for accommodation yourself. Your program coordinator will give you more information about the accommodation, after you have been accepted by TUM.

There are many ways to find accommodation in Heilbronn. Some options are listed on our TUM Campus Heilbronn website here, section: “Finding Accommodation in Heilbronn”.

All districts of Heilbronn are listed, as well as private and public student homes. Please note that prices can vary greatly.

General tips, dos and don´ts are displayed in this video, which is not only valid for Munich, but also appropriate for Heilbronn.

We established an accommodation database. Please register on the TUM Living webpage choosing Heilbronn as a city. Our team from the Service Point will be happy to assist you: servicepoint@chn.tum.de

If you would like to apply for a student dormitory room, click here.

Private student apartments are available in the "Rosenberg Quartier". The online portal is active. The Student Union Heidelberg does not run this facility, so you have to arrange for an apartment yourself.

If you already have a housing option, please give us a short feedback that you do not need housing (incoming@mgt.tum.de).

CAMPUS STRAUBING

Exchange students coming to Campus Straubing have to look for accommodation themselves. The TUMCS Student Service provides support. Students can find a list of links to apartment complexes, databases as well as groups on social media dedicated to accommodation in and around Straubing on the campus webpage.

The student union operates some shared apartments in Straubing. Information on these dorm rooms can also be found on the above linked webpage. Please note, that availability is very limited and room offers are usually sent out relatively late by the student union. Therefore, it is advisable to also look into alternative options.

Straubing is not close to Munich (ca. 2h), so please find accommodation in Straubing and do not apply for housing 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. If you are a Master's student, please check in advance whether your home university also recognizes courses at Bachelor's level.

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.

Please inquire before the start of the course whether the exam will take place on site in Munich, Heilbronn, Straubing or online and allow for possible travel time and costs. In order to find other courses, please refer to the TUMonline.

CAMPUS MUNICH

Please note, that it is recommended taking on-site courses only on campus Munich. Due to the regional distance, it is not possible to take courses at Heilbronn or Straubing Campus.

CAMPUS HEILBRONN

In addition to the course offers of the TUM School of Management, you are also very welcome to choose courses of the Bachelor Information Engineering program at the Heilbronn Campus.

CAMPUS STRAUBING

Due to the distance between Straubing and Munich, exchange students coming to Straubing should only select courses from Campus Straubing. You can filter the course catalogue accordingly.

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. Also, your buddy will be glad to support you in finding housing.

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. Your buddy will contact you a few weeks before you arrive in TUM and might even be able to pick you up from the airport or train station.

We will send you all further information regarding how to sign up for the Buddy Program prior to your exchange semester.

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 at TUM. Make sure that you check with your home university for any deadlines and rules regarding changes to your study program.
