New degree programs starting in the winter semester 2024/25

State-of-the-art teaching is didactically innovative, methodically sophisticated – and changing constantly. After all, when the world evolves, teaching that enables us to understand it needs to evolve too. The degree programs taught at TUM reflect this. Thus, in the winter semester 2024/25, additional programs dedicated to crucial issues of our time, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and food security, will be added to the portfolio.

U6 to Garching: Interruptions during summer semester

Anyone taking the underground to the Garching campus during the summer semester 2024 should allow extra time to get to university. This is due to construction work on the U6 section Kieferngarten - Garching-Forschungszentrum. The U6 will be divided at Kieferngarten during this period. Passengers from the city center to Garching or back will have to change at Kieferngarten. A shuttle train will run between Kieferngarten and Garching-Forschungszentrum every 15 minutes.
