The accreditation of bachelor’s and master’s programs was introduced as part of the Bologna Reform. The goal of accreditation is quality assurance. Rather than accrediting each individual program (program accreditation), TUM elected to carry out a system accreditation, which focuses on the university's internal quality management system instead of individual bachelor's and master's programs. With successful system accreditation, all TUM bachelor's and master’s are automatically accredited.
