New: Virtual learning space at TUM

For study sessions with others, simply go to a Break-out Room. Opening hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 9:00 – 17:00. Access links are available at: TUM Study with me. No registration is needed to log in.

Starting in mid-July, five different courses in yoga, meditation and mindfulness are on offer – in German and English. Just take deep breaths, switch off and keep a clear head.
