The first semester at TUM (Technical University of Munich) was not what I expected to be. Before studying at TUM, this is what I would have liked to know.

Thank you so much Markus for your helpful advice, I wish you the best!
Aaaaw! :)
Same to you! All the best!
You are a genuine guy. Thank you for sharing your story and I am happy to see now you manage to keep some kind of study-life balance after all these struggling you've been through. Next month I will start my first semester of my bachelor degree at tum. Really appreciate your videoâĪ
That's amazing! I wish you all the best for your studies! :)
Thanks for the information man you cleared a lot of doubts ð
That's amazing to hear!! Much appreciated! If you have any doubts/questions just comment, because I usually forget about important aspectsðĪĢ
Looking forward for your next videos!
Love to hear that! :))
Very useful tips for new students, take some notes who every starts studying this semester haha
Aaaaw. That's sweet :D hope this was helpful
Thank you so much for the helpful video
Thanks for the feedback. Always makes me smile :)
Great video as always
Thank you! Always makes me happy to read a comment like yours! :))
Excellent advice! I wish I would had gone to uni lol would had used this tips
HahahaðððĨ°thanks for the feedback
Hi,I am from Bangladesh and very passionate to study at TUM
Gonna stay my MS Aerospace at TUM this winter. Wish me luck ð
Good luck :)
Thank you for all of your videos!! ð I have two questions though. Iâve watched a video about how TUM is very focused on the theoretical part and less on practical lessons. Do you have a similar feeling as for business and technology degree? My second question is about me being in doubt about getting a degree in CS and then a masters in business or if I should directly get a degree in business and technology. Would you have any thoughts on which option seems more ideal?
Hey :)
It is true that it is not as hands on as the universites of applied sciences, but especially in computer science and Management you have still very hands on classes in you Masters where you can work on a project for companies and get credits for that :)
About the second question I don't know... :)
Thank you for video ! Cuz itâs really hard to find any information relative to the first semester at tum. But could you provide me with some information about the studies ( like the average workload and number of lectures ).
P.s. I will have an interview for management and technology on 29th September and it would be great to hear some feedback about this.
Thank you in advance and keep it going!!!
Do you have the Interview for BSc or MSc? :)
Typically you have 5 classes and workload depends on you :) in the first Semester it is always a bit more til you adjust to it :)
@@markus_rut for bsc, thank you!
âĪâĪâĪ
Thanksð
Hey . You explain nicely and in detail. I'm a student from India , wanted to apply for masters in biology/allied field. You can call it dream college kind of thing. But it has started to take fee (~6000 euro) too high for me to consider TUM. It shows a waiver option on the site. Of you could get some knowledge of it and make a video. Plz.
Hey, danke fÞr das Video! Ich bin an dem Masterprogramm MMT interessiert, vielleicht kÃķnntest du ein ausfÞhrliches Video dazu machen :)) (Also Infos, die man jetzt nicht hÃĪtte einfach auf der Webseite finden kÃķnnen)
Boah. Was hast du dazu fÞr Fragen? :D ich wÞsste grad nicht, was ich da Þber den Websiten Inhalt hinaus erzÃĪhlen kÃķnnte...
Hmm, vielleicht wie das Studentenleben aussieht, was fÞr Leute man in den Kursen so antrifft (ob es viele Internationals gibt), HÃķhe des Workloads, Modulempfehlungen, MÃķglichkeit als Werkstudent zu arbeiten (oder auch ein Praktikum wÃĪhrend des Studiums vereinbar ist) etc. SInd jetzt die Fragen, die mir jetzt direk eingefallen sind :)
Wie viele Stunden hast du eig gearbeitet neben dem Studium und hast du dennoch 30 ECTS pro Semester gemacht?
1. How the math subjects so far?
2. Which one is the hardest?
3. How do you commute going to the school?
Thank you in advance.
1. Interesting and sometimes hard
2. I honestly don't know. That really is very subjective :D
3. either by bike or by subway :)
Hey kurze Frage, wann sollte man sich denn am besten fÞr die Lehrveranstaltungen anmelden? Viele haben stand heute noch nicht einmal Termine eingetragen :(
Haha, ja das dauert manchmal ... einfach anmelden, wenn die online sind. Mach dir keinen Stress, kannst dich theoretisch auch noch wÃĪhrend dem Semester anmelden. Die meisten Kurse haben ne unbegrenzte Teilnehmer:innenanzahl (jedenfalls bei mir) :)
usually when i had studied to my exams in high school i was waking up at 7 and going to the library at 8 and living the library at 8. So I was studying 10 hours without breaks. But I also know that I can maintain this routine just for a short period of time. Do we really need to study all the 3 years like that and have no other life than it ?
No worries :) the first semester might be a bit overwhelming, but over the time you'll get the hang of it :)
Try to learn more about study techniques, this is a game changer and you'll be able to reduce the time you need to study a lot :)
Great job! Are you a undergrad student?
Nope :) currently doing my Masters
Hi , right now I'm worried about difficulty education level of TUM I'm from Asia completed bachelor in Mathematics and i applied for master in mathematics science and engineering program at TUM hopefully i will get admission question is that it's really hard to study at TUM?
I cannot compare it to other Universities because I have only studied at TUM... but I sometimes I hear that it is more difficult. But I guess that this is more of a question of how to study :) just talk to others when you're here and try out different things when you study :)
Brother !!How can i contract with you??
Hey Markus, I love your content. Is it possible for me to contact you privately for help with my TUM Masters Application? Would be much appreciated
Hey! You can join my discord! :) there are 150+ other future students :)
I'm also on the discord.
Hello,
I am an Indian student interested in pursuing a Master's degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at TUM University in Germany. As an international student, am I allowed to work part-time while doing my masters?
Thank you ð
Yes :) up to 20h per week :) as far as I know during the Semester break you can even work up to 40 h per week as long as the average in a year is not higher than 20 h per week
@@markus_rut thank you so much markus ðĪ
Can you please tell me if TUM accepts transfer students and what are the basis for their acceptance
What are transfer students? Exchange students?
@@markus_rut students from universities abroad wanting to transfer credit hours and continue at TUM
Iâm considering continuing my studies at TUM at the faculty of engineering
Kindy tell me how to contct supervisor for phd
Any websites or source tell.me
Hey! Sorry for the late reply! So I haven't contacted a supervisor, but I would Identify potential supervisors whose research interests align with yours and maybe check their h-index. You should review their publications and current research projects just to know whether its a fit.
Develop a clear and concise research proposal or statement of interest. It should outline your research interests, academic background, and why you're interested in working with them. Write them a short mail introducing yourself shortly and the topic you wanna write about. Maybe add, that you've read his/her paper XYZ and that you think it's a good fit on what you want to do. Hope this helps
Hey I am starting my BSC M&T this year. Would you like to connect?
Hey! :) you can connect with me and others through the discord :) there are 150+ people and there is an own channel for MMT
