Campus Singapore
We offer an excellent education in engineering and sciences at the technology hub of Singapore, and conduct research with international partners on technologies for a sustainable future.
A success story in Asia
The establishment of the first offshore campus of a German university in 2002 paved the way for our international reputation: TUM Asia – our teaching campus in Singapore. Many of the now more than 3000 highly qualified graduates are now working in leading research institutions and companies around the world.
Since 2010, we have also been researching solutions for a sustainable future together with top international universities, local institutions and industry partners from the region on the TUMCREATE research platform. This program is part of the Singapore Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE). More than 1,000 publications to date and 70 Ph.D. graduates who have qualified for careers in academia and industry reflect the institution's high quality research output and scientific impact.
Today, the campus serves as TUM's central hub in the Asia-Pacific region, connecting research, education, and innovation with the societal needs of one of the world's most dynamic regions.
