Please note that to be eligible to apply for the Master in Finance and Information Management program an application must meet all of the above mentioned criteria. No conditional admission will be given, in case an applicant does not meet the entrance requirements at the time of application!

However, as a foreign Student, you are required to provide proof of basic German language proficiency (comparable to A1 level) by the end of the second semester.
Important: The application process by TUM runs completely online. You no longer have to submit any hardcopies to TUM at this point. For enrollment, you will have to hand in certain documents in a specific form – e.g. as notarized hardcopies. Please note that if you are an international student applying via uni-assist, you will still have to send notarized hard copies to uni-assist.
Your application will proceed through TUMonline. A guideline about the application in TUMonline can be found here.
If you did not obtain your first degree (usually a Bachelor’s degree) in a country within the European Union (as well as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) you have to apply via uni-assist in addition to TUMonline. Uni-assist will make a preliminary evaluation on whether you meet the entry requirements for the Master program at TUM. Please note that the uni-assist application needs to be completed before the end of the application period, however, the document that uni-assist will provide you with (VPD), can be handed in later, even after the application period has ended.
We follow a two-stage assessment procedure to be able to select the best possible candidates for the Master in Finance and Information Management. In the first stage of the assessment procedure, candidates are evaluated based on their previous academic background. If an applicant’s eligibility is still questionable after stage 1, the applicant will move on to stage 2, where the academic background as well as the essay will be evaluated.
We expect our applicants to have a high standard of scientific writing, therefore applicants who fail to meet this standard will unfortunately be excluded from the assessment process in case plagiarism is detected in the essay.
