Student Loans and BAföG

Loans are available for various phases of your studies. In addition to BAföG, several public institutions offer low interest loans to students who either do not qualify for the BafÖG or are unable to work while studying. The purpose is to help students successfully complete their studies.

BAföG

BAföG refers to the law regulating financial support for students at secondary schools or universities. Applications for BAföG can only by submitted to the Financial Aid Office at the Munich Student Union. There you can also receive advice and assistance on how to apply for BaföG. For the confirmation of credits or other issues specifically concerning your degree program, please contact the student office or departmental student academic advising office of your school or department.

Here you can find an overview of contact persons at your school or department (please login with your TUM ID).
