Technical University of Munich

History

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.

Education

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).

Research

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.
