Who can apply

TUM states that international students new to TUM can apply; admission or enrolment at TUM is the prerequisite, so Pakistanis can apply.

  • You are enrolled at TUM or have applied and have a TUM applicant number.
  • Good grades: a grade of at least 2.40 (German scale), or special circumstances approved by the committee. Master's applicants from outside the EU/EEA give their uni-assist grade.
  • You have not exceeded the standard study period and are not doing a doctorate.
  • You do not receive other merit funding of €30 or more per month; a merit-based tuition waiver counts as such funding.

To accept an offer you must live in Germany and have a German bank account.
