TUM Center for Culture and Arts
We are creating a diverse cultural program for the university community – to discover hidden talents, broaden horizons, and to gain inspiration for new ways of thinking and working – with the offerings of the TUM Center for Culture and Arts.
To the Sciences and the Arts
Scientiis et Artibus
Scientiis et Artibus: two laurel wreaths held by a genius, dedicated to the sciences and the arts. Detail on the Thiersch Building at the Technical University of Munich, Gabelsbergerstraße entrance (c. 1916).
Music, literature, fine arts, performing arts or digital arts: With wide-ranging programs, we forge ties to innovation and technology, politics, history and society. All members of the TUM community − and friends of TUM − are invited to take part: expand your horizons and embrace new ways of thinking.
Scientiis et Artibus – To the Sciences and the Arts – Den Wissenschaften und den Künsten
Summer Semester 2026
Courses for students
Seminars, creativity labs and excursions: Here students discover their creative and cultural curiosity, and gain credits for their degree while exploring less familiar fields of knowledge. This offer is part of the general skills teaching program “Science ⋈ Technology ⋈ Society (Kontextlehre WTG)” as well as the English Department at the TUM Language Center.
