From the winter semester of 2024/25, new students from non-EU countries will be charged tuition fees so that TUM can upgrade the infrastructure.

Study in Germany: Technical University of Munich has made an important announcement about tuition fees. As per the latest updates, the university is going to charge tuition fees from students from non-EU countries.

Those who will newly enrol in a degree program at the Technical University of Munich from non-EU countries for the winter semester of 2024/25 will be charged a tuition fee.

These fees benefit all students by ensuring sustainable and excellent study and learning conditions," reads the official statement.
