Master’s Degree Programs at TUM
TUM offers over 100 Master’s degree programs from a variety of fields. Find out here what Master’s programs there are and how to apply.
What is a Master’s degree program?
Master’s degree programs are graduate studies. That means, you have to complete an undergraduate degree to qualify, for example a Bachelor’s degree program.
Depending on the program, TUM awards the following Master’s degrees: Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Education (M.Ed.), and Master of Science with honors (M.Sc. with honors). As a rule, students with Master’s degrees are entitled to pursue a doctorate.

What Master’s degree programs are offered at TUM?
A Master’s program can build on an undergraduate degree or it can be used to pursue a new field of study. In either case, these are referred to as consecutive Master’s programs. Other Master’s programs are particularly aimed at prospective students with professional experience. These are referred to as continuing education master’s programs. Contact the Student Advisory Office to learn how TUM’s Bachelor’s programs align with TUM Master’s programs or visit Master’s Day, which takes place annually.
Consecutive Master’s programs
Consecutive Master’s programs are often structured on a Bachelor’s program of the same name. They are designed to deepen and expand the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate program. TUM offers at least one consecutive master's program for each bachelor's program.
Some Master’s programs are not structured on the basis of specific bachelor's programs. Instead, they can be pursued by students who hold Bachelor’s degrees from a range of different fields. While these programs require certain fundamental knowledge, this can be acquired through various Bachelor’s programs.
Example: TUM graduates with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering can apply for a Master’s in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence, to name a few.
Continuing education Master’s programs
As a rule, continuing education Master’s programs require candidates to have at least one year of work experience. In some cases, the programs may be attended while holding gainful employment. Duration of studies varies accordingly. Special tuition fees also apply.
Example: Students with a Bachelor’s or undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and information technology have the option of pursuing continuing education Master’s programs like an Executive MBA.
TUM also offers double degree programs. Double degree programs give you the opportunity to receive a degree from both TUM and one of its partner universities.
