Duration

Typical length for a European Bologna-system bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme. Some professional or engineering programmes run 3.5-4 years, so confirm your specific programme's length with the university.
Accreditation

DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.

Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.
Enrollment & international mix

ETER ingestion for this institution is not built yet.

Student residence permits issued in Germany

Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for Germany is not built yet.

No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.
International (non-EU) tuition
€4,000/year
≈ $4,464 USD/year (€1 ≈ 1.12 USD · rate updated 2026-11-07 · ExchangeRate-API)
for Non-EU bachelor's rate is €2,000 or €3,000 per semester depending on programme (this figure uses the lower band, ×2 semesters). EU/EEA citizens and students with German qualifications are exempt.

Some bachelor's programmes charge €3,000/semester (€6,000/year) instead of €2,000 — check your specific programme's fee page. Merit-based waivers exist but amounts are not independently confirmed here. Re-checked this cycle: TUM's own page still describes the fee as "usually 2,000 or 3,000 euros" per semester, unchanged since Winter Semester 2024/25.
Estimated cost of living in Munich
€1,200/month
Estimated, not verified
One of Germany's most expensive cities to rent in — this drives most of the gap versus other German university towns.
This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →

Not yet researched

Non-EU students may take up paid work for up to 120 full days or 240 half-days per calendar year without separate permission from the Foreigners' Authority. Germany measures this in days per year, not hours per week — working more requires approval.
