At TUM there are many opportunities to work with students from different subjects.

For its rankings, the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) compares various subject areas at universities in the German-speaking countries, this time including architecture, civil engineering, electrical engineering and information technology, mechanical engineering and environmental engineering. The focus is on the opinion of around 120,000 students surveyed. The universities are rated in numerous categories on a scale from one star to five stars.

For the general study situation, the most important category, the students give TUM 4 or 4.5 stars in all subjects. TUM received the same ratings for the range of courses offered, the support provided by lecturers and the organization of studies. Students are also very satisfied with the IT infrastructure and library facilities, among others.

In previous editions of the CHE University Rankings, TUM also received excellent marks in the natural sciences, medicine, computer science, mathematics, social sciences and sports sciences, as well as in management studies and information systems.

Top positions in global rankings

Other rankings show that TUM is also among the top-rated universities at the international level for the quality of its degree programs. In the Digital Leaders in Higher Education rankings, it ranks among the top five, alongside Harvard University, the University of Cambridge, MIT and the University of Oxford. These rankings indicate how well universities prepare their students for the digital economy. HR managers also have a high opinion of TUM graduates. In the Global University Employability Ranking, which surveys around 13,000 managers in more than 30 countries, TUM holds the 13th position.
