However, all applications which are handed in before the official deadline will be evaluated. The evaluation of the applications at TUM takes approx. two months.
Since our students come from various technical backgrounds, the first semester is comprised of mandatory subjects devoted to the study of fundamental topics in the different disciplines Structural Mechanics and Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Computational Mechanics and Computation in Engineering. Furthermore, you will receive a tailored introduction to C++ in an onboarding week. During the second and third semesters, you can choose from a variety of elective courses and thus build an individual specialisation. You can also build your individual skill set and follow your career goals through including up to 10 ECTS from various courses at TUM. Furthermore, during the second and third semesters, you will work on a software project in our Software Lab module. This interdisciplinary project is organised in small groups and is designed to give you hands-on experience in transferring your theoretical and methodological knowledge into a software implementation. The fourth semester is devoted to your Master’s thesis, which is worth 30 ECTS and finalises your studies at TUM.
An additional honours programme (www.bgce.de) is available for the best students after the first semester. The title of Master of Science with designation will be awarded for the participants in this honours programme.
It is not compulsory to complete an internship during the programme, but voluntary internship positions are available at world-famous local businesses such as BMW, Siemens, MTU, MAN, EADS, and many more. Furthermore, many students write the Master's thesis in cooperation with one of our industry partners.
