Ever since its founding in 1868, TUM has been at the forefront of innovation. TUM scientists today have the same goal as their 19th century counterparts: finding solutions to the major challenges facing society as we move forward. TUM was founded to provide the state of Bavaria with a center of learning dedicated to the natural sciences.
For the third time in a row, the TUM won the title of "Excellence University" in July 2019. This makes TUM the only technical university that has been consistently successful in the excellence competition of the federal and state governments from the beginning (2006).
Whether exploring the fundamentals of life, matter, and the universe, or seeking solutions to the major challenges of society, we are at the center of our research and innovation agenda. The "Human-Centered Engineering" aims as a far-reaching reform concept to guide the scientific and technical excellence of the TUM into the world of ideas of a modern society.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2019. By rating institutions on a scale from 1 to 5, on multiple studies-related questions, we found the top educators in the world.

It is amazing so far. I learnt new things and made new friends. My knowledge base has considerably grown and I'm making memories for life
I have gained a great sense of engineering at my current university and also how to be a good researcher
It was a great experience of studying abroad, came to know new things and also help me to become a different person and see myself in a good position now. It also helps me to know various things about my specific field of interest.
