The Master’s in Management and Technology program is both an interdisciplinary degree program, i.e. combining knowledge from multiple fields, and a consecutive program, i.e. designed to directly build on the Bachelor's in Management and Technology. As such, we need to make sure that applicants have an appropriate foundation, especially if applicants are coming in with related undergraduate degrees, such as a traditional business degree. The eligibility requirements check for this foundation to better ensure student success in the program.
Applicants for the program meet the following eligibility requirements:
As stipulated by the official statute of the program, the applying degree must be an undergraduate degree, i.e. a Bachelor's degree. If courses/modules in a master's degree program fulfill prerequisites, applicants may submit their Master's transcript as an additional transcript, however an existing Master's cannot be used as the applying degree.
The program does not have conditional admission. All prerequisites must be met before submitting an application.
We do not have a separate admissions process for current TUM students. Current TUM students apply just as external applicants and must also upload all required documents.
Except for VPD from uni-assist and an APS certificate for some applicants from some countries, there isn't a separate admissions process for international applicants. For questions about VPD and uni-assist, or about APS certificates, please contact the TUM Center for Study and Teaching.
Applicants with existing credits can apply for recognition of prior credits after being admitted and enrolled, i.e. it is not part of the admissions process. The TUM School of Management Admissions Team cannot advise applicants on what could be recognized.
The double degree program with HEC is not part of the TUM admissions process. After being admitted and enrolled into the Master's in Management and Technology, a student can then apply to be admitted into the double degree program.

Formal Requirements
Besides your transcript, your application has formal document requirements, such as a photo ID. While the application process is the same for German and international applicants, there may also be some additional documents required of international applicants, such the academic evaluation document (VPD) from uni-assist, or an APS certificate. A central university office, the TUM Center for Study and Teaching is responsible for verifying formal document requirements. If you have questions about which documents are required, or need assistance with filling out your application in TUMonline, please contact the TUM Center for Study and Teaching and not the TUM SOM Admissions Team.
