Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Sustainable Management and Technology - Batch of 2026

Offered by Technical University of Munich

Great faculty and opportunities to grow.

Tips: Before joining the Technical University of Munich (TUM), students should be aware that TUM has high academic standards, so be prepared for challenging coursework and a focus on research. While many programs are in English, some require proficiency in German. Check the language prerequisites for your course. Students should budget for living expenses, including accommodation, food, and insurance. Munich is one of Germany's most expensive cities. TUM has campuses in Munich, Garching, and Weihenstephan. Be familiar with your program's primary location. TUM offers excellent student support, including career services, counselling, and access to student organizations. Learn about German culture, punctuality, and etiquette. It helps in daily life and networking. TUM offers internships, industry connections, and access to cutting-edge research so take advantage of these. Be prepared for detailed paperwork, including student visas, health insurance, and residence permits. Planning ensures a smoother transition to life at TUM and in Germany.

Likes (Internships): Student life in Germany is exceptional due to its vibrant cultural diversity, affordable living, and world-class educational opportunities. The country's emphasis on a balanced lifestyle, extensive student support, accessible public transportation, and rich history create a unique, enriching experience.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are leaders in their fields. They are experts in their fields and are globally recognized for their research excellence. They balance academic rigour with real-world applications and foster innovation and support their students.

M.Sc. in Sustainable Resource Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by Technical University of Munich

4.5

Flexible and great opportunities, but can be a little difficult to know the outcome sometimes.

Tips: It is best to know even before you start studying what exactly you want to achieve from the programme or the university or at least have some sense of direction. TU Munich keeps it very flexible and offers a lot of opportunities, so you have to be the one to shape your efforts towards what you want. Munich is a great city for students. Public transportation, entry tickets to museums and other attractions, and many other things are heavily subsidized for students. In addition, there are a ton of student clubs and activities in the city, which makes it a great place to live and study.

Dislikes (Internships): Because the university's programs are so diverse, students have the freedom to choose any field of study they like. However, because there are so many options, it can be difficult to get precise guidance from the university for an internship search. Fortunately, seniors and alumni are very helpful, and Munich is the third largest city in Germany with a lot of tech and innovation, so there are plenty of opportunities for students in a wide range of fields.

A diverse and empowering student life with pragmatic challenges.

Tips: Not much difference has happened to me. I learned a new language. I have not availed of any scholarships. But there are scholarships to which I have applied and my friends received them. The allowance is around 300 Euros/month. I am fully satisfied and happy.

Likes (Student Life): College days are truly refreshing as they offer the chance to meet new people from diverse cultures which I find exciting. I actively participate in events like IKOM, Sustainability Day and events like IFAT. There are also clubs for language learning, planting sees, excursions and many more.

Dislikes (Indian Food): As a student from south India in Munich, I struggle to find authentic Indian food as local Indian restaurants are expensive and lack authenticity. I prefer cooking but due to lack of time, affordable options like McDonald's or ready-made packets are helpful.

TUM supports you in every way, given you can work towards it.

Tips: It was a big cultural shift from the hard-focused Indian curriculum, but the course is very flexible and allows students to choose subjects, projects, and research assistantships from any TUM department. TUM is very research-focused, but it also prepares students for the job market. Students who come to TUM should know what they want to do in the future and be prepared to pave their way. I did not avail of any scholarships as such because TUM didn't charge any fees up until now, but they have a scholarships page that gives more information and I would highly recommend students apply for Deutschlandstipendium if they plan to come to TUM as it is comparatively easier to bag it in the first semesters. Overall, I am very satisfied with the University, my course and Germany, as it helped me explore a whole new ecosystem of like-minded individuals.

Likes (Student Life): The student life in Munich is very good. Studentenwerk provides affordable accommodation, and at every dorm, there are weekly parties for students so they do not wear themselves. One lecture is usually 2-3 hours a week, depending on the credit and the type of the course, so a student usually spends on average 4-5 hours at the University every day, depending on the classes you choose. TUM has various kinds of student clubs, networking events, celebrations of different occasions, and lots of parties and movies. I participate in at least one monthly event to remain active and connected to the student community. It is easier to participate more at the start of the course.

Dislikes (Value for money): TUM does not charge fees for tuition, but international students are charged around 4,000-6,000 euros per semester. This is a reasonable amount for a public university. However, all courses at TUM are customizable, which can be confusing for Indian students who are not used to this type of curriculum. This confusion can lead to additional expenses if you extend your semesters.

The university provides with the opportunities to grow and explore in your course of studies.

Tips: Before joining this college students should know that there will be cultural shifts but one should be able to manage. There was no tuition fee until the summer 2024 intake but starting the winter 2024 intake they have started charging tuition fees however, there are exceptions available which you can check by visiting the university's website. The University, course and country are nice but knowing German is key and could very well be the difference between liking it or not. A popular scholarship is available which is called Deutschlandstipendium for 300/month. Check out the DAAD website for more details.

Likes (Safety): Munich is regarded as one of the safest cities in Europe. Although it's a given you need to be careful with your belongings so far I haven't had any instances that I would consider threatening. As a student, you will also get a travel ticket that allows travel throughout Germany by public transport.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is not very common in Mensa (which is the alternative to a Canteen) however, there are a lot of Indian restaurants throughout the city. A visit can cost anywhere between 15-50. I generally prefer cooking myself as being from Assam, India I generally prefer less spicy food. Also cooking by yourself helps keep monthly expenses low.
