Your easy way in

At TUM, you will find over 200 student clubs – covering everything from engineering to culture, sustainability to entrepreneurship. But before you dive in, it is worth taking a moment to reflect on your own expectations:

How much time do you have outside of your studies? What do you want to learn, achieve, or experience?

Once you have got a clearer picture, choosing the right club becomes much easier – and the perfect match might be just around the corner.

Use our overview with filters by topic and location. Browse the club descriptions and follow the links to their websites for more details.

You can also visit the TUM Student Club Fair to meet a wide variety of clubs in person. Talk directly to members, ask questions, and find out which club suits you best.

Many clubs also offer info sessions or meet-and-greet events. That is a great way to check things out with no strings attached.

In short: First reflect on what you want and then start your search. However, sometimes the right club finds you when you least expect it.

Yes, you can be involved in multiple student initiatives. Many students combine different interests and contribute to various areas.

However, it also depends on the specific clubs or initiatives, as some may require more time and commitment than others.

What matters most is that you feel comfortable and manage your time realistically. After all, you are here to study.

Many student clubs are happy to welcome new faces, whether you are just starting your studies or have been around for a while. It is easy to get involved from your very first semester.

That said, some clubs may require a bit of theoretical background – especially those focused on technical or specialized projects. In those cases, having some experience can make it easier to get started.

Ultimately, it depends on the club.

No matter where you are in your academic journey – your engagement is always welcome!

How much time you invest in a student club depends entirely on you and the club. Some clubs meet weekly and work continuously on projects, while others organize occasional events or offer short-term opportunities to get involved. You can also choose to participate in just one project, during an event phase, or for a single semester.

What is important is to be honest with yourself and with the club from the beginning. Think about how much time you can realistically commit alongside your studies, and talk openly with club members about your availability.

Every contribution matters – whether big or small, short-term or long-term!

The TUM Student Club Fair is your chance to explore the full spectrum of student clubs – live and in person.

Around 100 student initiatives and TUM partners present their projects and opportunities to get involved. Come by, start a conversation, get inspired, and find your place in the community!

The next fair will take place during the winter semester 2025/26 at campus Garching. Just drop by!

All TUM students are welcome to start their own student club at any time.

There are very few restrictions when it comes to founding an initiative – as long as its purpose and activities respect the principles of a free and democratic society and do not compromise the safety or order of our university. So yes, absolutely! We are here to support you every step of the way: from your first idea to organizing your club and connecting with the TUM community.

You will find key information in the TUM Student Club Wiki. And if you have questions, your Student Club Coordinator is happy to help!
