It is our primary goal to support students in the best possible way during their application process. If you have any questions or doubts regarding your application, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to assist you.
Please find further information in the info sheet “How does the assessment procedure work?”
For your application you need:
Applicants must also provide proof of English language proficiency at the time of application.
In addition to accepted English language proficiency certificates across TUM study programs, applicants can demonstrate English proficiency through a previous university degree that was taught and assessed entirely in English or at least 12 ECTS thereof. The 12 ECTS can include courses and/or your final thesis. Please use this form only if the 12 ECTS rule applies to you. A GMAT (classic/focus) with at least a 53% percentile ranking will also be accepted as proof of English language proficiency.
It is not necessary to provide proof of German language knowledge at the time of application. However, we strongly recommend learning German!
Applications are fully online. Starting in the summer semester 2025, enrollment will also be entirely online.
Important: The application process is 100% online. Hardcopies have to be sent to TUM only once you’re enrolling. However, uni-assist still requires hardcopies for the application.
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 Sustainable Management and Technology. In the first stage of the assessment procedure, candidates are evaluated based on their previous academic qualification (see “Entrance requirements”), their grade point average, an essay and the result of a valid GMAT certificate (optional). If an applicant’s eligibility is still questionable after stage 1, the application will move on to stage 2, where the academic background, the grade point average as well as the assessment interview will be evaluated.
We expect a high standard of scientific work from our applicants. Therefore, applicants who do not meet these standards as in cases of plagiarism or the use of AI (e.g. Chat GPT) evidenced in the essay, will be excluded from the process.
