The grind is real! Your upload schedule's making me happy haha
haha. yeah. Just thought this video might be more relevant as long as the application phase is still open ;)
@@markus_rut smart move ngl
tbh...very few of the videos are this precise and to the point.
Thank you Markus..... You finally made a video on this topic.... As you promised.
It took a while. Sorry for that. ;)
@@markus_rut But you atleast come up with something....
This was really helpful thanks!
This is so nice to hear! :))
Thanks for the insight!!
Haha appreciate your Feedback!! :)
Back to back with the videos!!!
:D just thought it might make sense while the application is still open :)
In the end i'm pretty sure there's still someone throwing the dice on how many points, you get for essay, motivational statement and curricular analysis...
For the Essay it might be true to a certain degree😅
Oh my god dude you’re a literal wizard for replying to all of these comments. First of all thanks so much for this video it’s such awesome work dude, and second, I kinda had a bit of a question myself 😅. I did the IB but I got a very mediocre grade of 29 in my finals, although I have some solid extra curricular like a year long part time internship across two banks and a research paper, I’m not sure if I can get into TUM for their bachelors in management and tech, is there anyway I stand a chance with the interview and aptitude assessment being considered?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply! Mh, so as far as I know extracuricular activities are not considered. So maybe you can calculate your chances of getting into the second stage by using the document that you can find as explained in the video. Or simply apply and see what happens :D
Hey Markus Can you please make a video of full campus tour, It will be helpful for many students. Thank you 😊
That is a good idea! I will out it on my list! Thanks for the comment ;)
Thank u Markus! Could you please make a video showing us how to do a german CV for TUM Studienkolleg/Bachelor application :))
Hey Stefi! :) the German CV is not much different from any other CV :)
- academic background
- professional background
- Skills
are the sections every cv should have
Hi Markus great video! I have a question but a bit too specific. Is the Elektrotechnik und Informatik bachelor NC frei. As far as I know it is, and it is rather easier to get in but people usually get eliminated within the first year. Do you know anything about it?
Hey! :) Unfortunately I don't know. But sometimes if there is no NC, there are some courses that you have to pass within the first two Semesters otherwise you're out.
Hi Markus thanks for video. Do you know about "Curriculum: module catalog or the relevant module descriptions". I tried to look from website however I could not figure out. Do you have example of it? Thank you
Hey :)
What exactly is your question? :)
You can find the Module catalogue if you are on your programs Website under "how is the program structured" :)
thank you for all of this valuable information. last week i got my admission 🎉
So, a friend of mine told me that is eassier to get accepted in a german university (as a non EU resident) if you paid directly for the programme as opposed to someone who is trying with a scholarship? Thanks for the video.
To anyone reading this: If you could decide between Nova SBE in Lisbon and TUM in Germany. Both Master in Management. Which would you choose?
I've got accepted to both and have a bachelors in Psychology.
Congrats! That is a tough choice. What does your gut feeling say? :) maybe thoughts about which culture/country you like more? :)
Subscribed ❤️
appreciate it 🥰
Hi Markus 😊! Whether the undergraduate classes are in English or German or like in the official TUM website we can choose between them?
That depends totally on the program :) you can just ahve a look on the website of the program and usually it should be stated there in which language the vourses are taught. In most cases you need some German though
Hi Markus, do you have any idea on how can I prepare for a selection interview for the BSc of Aerospace?
Uh sorry. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who studied aerospace. But maybe you can contact the student council of aerospace
Hi Markus, thanks for sharing. Ich habe eine frage: is it enough for international students to have a language certificate B2 Goethe to apply to the TUM (for undergraduate in Mechanical engineering)?
Regards.
Hey, from what I have found in case of the Goethe certificate you need C2, but better contact tum directly😅
Thank you a lot. I have one question regarding the TUM Master's of power program. How can I contact students there ?. Is there any platform that can help me ?
Hello Markus, what's the job expectancy after doing a MsC in TUM?
Also, I have a degree in computer engineering (not the same as Computer Sience, since we also work with circuits and hardware) could I get into Bioinformatics? Thanks in advance :)
Hey! Typically job expectancy is high from what I know.
About bioinformatics: unfortunately I don't know thaty, on the website you can find the requirements and if that that does not help you they provide contact information where you can contact TUM :)
Thanks for sharing mate! 😇
I just got invitation to take apptitude test on next month. Honestly, I'm still clueless about the test and kinda afraid..
Still wish me luck.. 😅🤞
I wish you all the best! 🙌
@@markus_rut same I have an aptitude test in coming week and have no idea how should I prepare? can u kindly guide!
@@sbsohail3870 unfortunately I did not take the aptitude test, so I don't really know anything. I'm sorry.😅
Same here! No idea on how to go about and prepare..if you got any tips, please share. Thanks!
Wish you best of luck!!!
@@RajlaxmiW so in bachelors it was about my qualifications, my motivation, where I see myself in the future, and some economic topics... but I have also heard of others that they had to solve a small math problem or sth like that...
Good luck to you as well!
ich hab eine frage: wenn man mithilfe des punktesystems zugelassen werden würde, wie wichtig sind dann dinge wie das motivationsschreiben oder der lebenslauf?
Haha yesss. Also im Master braucht man kein Motivationsschreiben bspw.
Ich vermute, dass CV und Motivationsschreiben für die 2. Stufe da sind, falls Interviews geführt werden, sodass dann näher auf einzelne Punkte eingegangen werden kann.... aber hab dazu nichts gefunden, nur eine Vermutung
Hey Markus. Thank you so much for your videos. Indeed informative. I have completed my Bachelors in Statistics. Is my bachelors eligible to apply MIM at TUM? And my total ECTS is not 180. but my bachelors is 6 Semesters. Thank you so much.
hey Sanjeev, my guess would be that you are eligible, since Mathematics is also accepted :)
Hi Markus! Are extracurricular activities/ awards in competitions important to get accepted into german universities?……because for UK and US universities, they are important
Hey! :)
At least for my study program it is not important.
My guess would be that most of the time they are not very important, because there are no limited places. I think they might be more relevant when there would be limited places and two people with the same amount of points in background, GMAT, GPA, ..., maybe then they would look at extracurricular things to decide between those two people.
What is your perspective after getting in to TUM? A high chance of dropping out after 0-3 semesters ;)
I would like to know how is the interview stage, what they ask you ad what they expect to hear :) Regaards
Hey Andres! :) that depends on which program you apply for ;)
When I applied for the Bachelor in Management & Technology I got some questions about what experience I have/my motivation. Then some questions on topics that were in the news (from an economic perspective) and questions about where I want to be in the future. So basically reflect on why you want to apply. I also heard from other applicants that they got asked some technical questions and some also had to do some math I think.
Hey Markus, what is the typical batch size of a program?
Hey! :) that varies a lot! So in the Master in Management and Technology it is probably somewhere between 500-1000 while in other programs it is less than 100...
Hi Markus, thanks for sharing. I want to ask regarding the preliminary documentation (VPD) by uni-assist, Im currently doing the IB test, and will receive my IB grades in the 7th of july, but the Uni-Assist VPD process takes 3-4 weeks according to their website, however after 3-4 weeks from the 7th of July the application period closes, do you have any information regarding the application process with IB Diploma for Bachelor and especially Non-EEA
Hey! Unfortunately I am not an expert in this, since I am from Germany and actually never had to to the vpd... maybe you can contact tum :)
I did the IB. They you need to complete a placeholder form which will give you a grace period till the 31st of August.
Hallo Markus! Hast du eine Idee für HWR Berlin auch?
Hey! Ne leider nicht... ich kenn mich außerhalb von der TUM gar nicht aus ^^
i heard study at TUM really hard it's true? Actually in that summer intake i applied for master in mathematics science and engineering program
I don't know :) I just studied here. You'll find out but I would say it is definitely manageable. Just think about how you can be more efficient and it will get easier :)
hey markus, i did upload my LOM and rn I just saw my essay it is not well aligned,and can no more make any changes.Will that be a problem??
I don't know honestly... If you're worried maybe you can try to contact TUM, but it's probably not the case that you don't get any points ;)
You can also have a look at how applicants are selected. I know from my application in my Bachelors that the LOM was irrelevant and was only used in the interview stage to have some points to talk about.
@@markus_rut thank you
Hello markus, i wanted to ask if i can do my masters in informatics after doing an online degree from bits pilani in coursera [ its a tum in india just private] it even has credits (pls markus can u do some reasearch and reply )😢
Hey, unfortunately I don't know about that and also don't want to give advice on this. Maybe you can do some research or simply apply and see whether it works :)
i want to ask few questions
i have scored 97 % ( german grade :- 1.13 ) and almost same in 12th std . So after taking university entrance exam in my own country , to avoid studienkolleg ( it is recognised by german universities ) and I apply to big universities like KIT , TUM or maybe Saarland will I have high or mediocre chances of getting in ?
btw do opting for german taught course after passing TESTDAF almost make sure my admission as a lot of people were giving advice to students that it is very easy for international students to get selection in german taught course ?
moreover is that interview/essay thing is necessary for every university ? and is it tough ?
Hey! :) so my guess would be that you will have high chances of getting accepted, however I am not an expert. And about opting for German courses: I don't know about that😅
The Essay is not necessary for every university. Also at TUM you don't have to write the essay for each program. :)
Hallo Markus. I heard that there is a new fee system being introduced at TUM. Could you please throw some light on it if you know something about it? In case it’s yes, when is it taking place?
Hey, so if you refer to the Semester fee: it already changed for this Winter term :)
Before you had to pay a fee consisting of a generic part and an additional part that would alle you to use the public transportation in the evenings and weekends with your student card.
The New fee is just the basic fee, since there will be ticket introduced in Oktober where you pay (can) a monthly fee of 29 € (if you want) and in exchange get access to all regional public transportation in all of Germany. :)
Summary: reduced fee (I gues about 80 € per semester) Germany-wide public transportation (excluding express trains) for 29 €
@@markus_rut Thank you Markus. To be more specific, I mean the tuition fee which is currently 85 euros per semester would be changed anywhere between 3-6 k per semester. If you know about this, could you please write it in detail? Thanks, Markus
@@SanjeevM-hv4gu oh I have not heard of that so far...
And somehow I also doubt it...
@@markus_rut I sent them an email and got a response as „ there is indeed a discussion going but we are not sure when will this be or how much it would be“. I hope it remains no fees. Let’s see
Does TUM accept SAT? I have an SAT of 1520
Hey markus since the university is public and not private can we expect lesser fees? If yes then what would be the fees for completing MIM i checked and every sites show different results kinda confusing yk
So for Master degrees the fees could be between 4,000 - 6,000 € per Semester, but the exact fees will be announced in October (then you can probably find the fees on the website of MiM)
@@markus_rut ohhh ok
Search for “Studiengebühren für Studierende aus Nicht-EU-Ländern”, there’s a summary about the tuition fee starting next year.
I was wondering if TUM accept SAT scores because I am planning to study for it
Hm. I don't know about that. Maybe you can find answers on my discord channel :)
I am very curious about how they select international students. I will really appreciate if you answer. I have finished high school being the best graduate of my year by %98.9. I enrolled a universitiy in the program ı want to study in germany, which is computer science . Also ı become third in my country in the entrepreneurship contest. From there ı have an esp which is alsoaccepted in Germany. I will improve my german this year and apply next year. What do you think of my chances of getting accepted.
sounds like you have very high chances :)
whatever you want to apply for you can just look it up in the documents mentioned in this video.
The application criteria are the same for both German and international students. The only big difference is that international students have to apply for VPD (preliminary documentation), which will convert your grade into the German system so that they can then evaluate you according to the criteria mentioned in the documents of the application procedure :)
Good luck to you!!
Thanks
hello i find the programme that i want to study but i don't know how much the fees to study in integrated cicuit design . btw i am currently in my third year of studying integrated circuit design at a high national school so can you help me or send more information please ?
On their website it says it would be 40.000 SGD in total for the Master. Apart from that I don't have any further information...
I had in my bachelor german grade 2.0 is it too low for TUM for a Master in financial Management?
I honestly don't know, I'm just a student, studying another degree :D
But you can look into the documents of how applicants are selected. But I guess you will at least get invited to the aptitude assessment :)
I have a doubt. As an international homeschooler who uses a homeschool from the USA and is from Latin America, what would be my chances to get accepted in the TUM?
The country of origin does not matter that much, but I don't know about home schooling...
@@markus_rut(time zones can be problematic, sorry for the late answer)
I ask because i have seen that homeschooling is illegal in Germany and other European countries (Hungary, the Netherlands, Greece, certain Cantons of Switzerland, and Sweden), but here in Honduras it is perfectly legal and even backed up by law. So i ask if due to German law am i discharded, must do a testing year to prove that what i learned applies to TUM, or must repeat the last highschool year in Germany; or an even more radical solution, try luck in other country where it is legal like France, the States, Italy, Austria, or Canada.
Is it worth doing Master's in Software Engineering? I have a degree in Software Engineering but I want to go towards Machine Learning/AI.
haha I'm sorry but I don't know the answer. I'm still a kid trying to figure life out. :D
Hallo markus! Welche Zulassungsvoraussetzungen gelten für jemanden aus einem anderen Land?
Was muss ich tun, um Informatik zu studieren, ohne die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft zu besitzen?
Hey :) Also es hängt nicht von der Staatsbürgerschaft ab, sondern nur von der Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (sprich in welchem Land du deinen Abschluss gemacht hast). Wenn du außerhalb von Deutschland auf der Schule warst bewirbst du dich ganz regulär, musst aber zusätzlich eine Vorprüfungsdokumentation machen über uni-assist. Je nachdem in welchem Land du auf der Schule warst musst du noch zusätzliche Sachen beachten, aber das steht alles auf der Website vom Informatik Studiengang ;)
Most German public universities need a BBA or science background for MBA/masters in management...can a humanities student get in, into any public uni with a good gmat?
I don't know about Masters in Management, but as far as I know MBA should be open to students of any background. But I think for MBA students often times work experience is required/preferred, especially for the more competitive ones. Hope this was helpful! :)
@@markus_rut Yes it was, thanks!
I did my bachelor in Germany with a GPA of 2.0 in Economics and now I am applying for Master at TUM in Financial Management. Is this GPA good for that?
I honestly don't know. But I assume you'll get at least invited for the aptitude assessment. My Bachelors Grade was a 2.0 as well
Hey,
when you say gpa do you mean college gpa or high school gpa they are looking at??
They will look at your most recent graduation, so if you apply for Bachelors they will look at high school. If you apply for Masters you will be evaulated based on your grades from your Bachelors.
But not only the grades but also what classes you had will be considered
I got admitted to Sustainable resource management cource (masters). Is it a good course? I am a mechanical engineer graduate.
Depends on you preferences ;)
I really love the modules and the people of the program you mentioned :)
@@markus_rut Thanks for the reply.
Does testas mandatory for TUM ?i have scored around 80 ,and 79 .does testas really matters ?
Hey! :) what is do you mean by testas? But usually you can look it up in your progrmams application description. If it is in there they will also consider it...
Testas is a new mandatory exam for those who coming to bachelors .(2022)but when I look up the programme in physics ,TUM I haven’t seen they mentioning testas particularly
@@JaytoAgi ah interesting! I did not know that. I have not heard of it but if it is not mentioned in the physics Page I guess it is not necessary? Better contact TUM if you have doubts :)
@@markus_rut can u make a special video of getting into bachelor in TUM ?it’s my dream uni .keep up the good work ❤👍🏻
@@JaytoAgi haha :) thanks for the recommendation, but I would not know what to say about especially applying for Bachelorst since it was a while ago when I applied fpr my Bachelors😅 I guess reading through the documents is the best for getting answers.
Can i get admission with 3.7 gpa (its equivalent 1.15 german gpa) from ms informatik (tum)
My guess would be yes :) but just check it on the website :)
Thanks, i need help to get admission in TUM. Please help me.
Hey, unfortunately I cannot help you with this, but I wish you good luck! Fingers crossed!
Hi Markus. Im Studienfach Informatik (Bachelor) steht folgendes in der Fassung:
„Wer in der ersten Stufe 84 Punkte und mehr erreicht, hat das Eigungsfeststellungsverffahren bestanden. Dies gilt nicht, wenn die fortgeführten fachspezifischen Einzelnoten in den Fächern Mathematik, Deutsch, Englisch oder der besten fortgeführten Naturwissenschaft inklusive Informatik in der HZB nichg ausgewiesen werden. Auch bei erreichen der Punktzahl ist die fachspezifische Eignung durch Ablegen der zweiten Stufe des Verfahrens nachzuweisen.“
Ich hätte die erforderlichen 84 Punkte im ersten Schritt des Verfahrens und würde ja dementsprechend direkt zugelassen werden. Allerdings verwirrt mich der letzte Satz… muss ich jetzt trd. den Test im 2. Schritt ablegen?
Danke dir im voraus. 🫶🏽
Wenn ich es richtig verstehe heißt das nur, dass du trotz erreichen der 84 Punkte in die zweite Stufe musst, falls du eine Mathe, Deutsch, Englisch oder die beste Naturwissenschaft nicht ausgewiesen hast. Dementsprechend: Wenn du alle Noten angegeben hast und die 84 Punkte erreicht hast musst du nicht in die 2. Stufe und wirst direkt zugelassen :)
how to foreign students apply for tum?
you can find it in official website
For Bachelors?
Have a look whether they provide some information on that. It is different for each program
Any application fee for undergraduate?
In general yes, if you did not do your last education in the EU. Programs from the TUM Campus Heilbronn don't charge the fees as far as I know.
Ich bin viel zu dumm für diese Uni
Das glaub ich nicht :)
oder einfach frühstudent sein weil sie eh alle annehmen
Mmh. Würd mich wundern, es müssen eigentlich schon alle durch den Prozess durch, soweit ich weiß🤔 Vielleicht haben die nur einfach bessere Noten als die Meisten😅😁
