OverviewTo receive priority consideration for this program, Spring applications will be reviewed, after June 15th. Academic Year applications will be reviewed, after February 1st. Applications will continue to be accepted through the posted application deadline, if space allows.Technische Universität München (TUM) is one of the top ranked universities in Europe. It is particularly known for cutting edge research in all of their top class faculties. The campus is spread out on three different locations in Bavaria: Munich, Garching and Freising-Weihenstephan. These locations offer a rich and varied campus life, including many sports programs and exciting student research opportunities. The university boasts an enrollment of over 37,000 enrolled students, 1,500 of whom are international students.
*Biochemistry and Chemistry majors may also apply |
Location DetailsMunich, home to approximately 1.35 million people, is a friendly and vibrant city. It is in an attractive location in close proximity to the Bavarian Alps. With a number of famous museums, art galleries, theatres and opera houses, the capital city of Bavaria is a major European cultural center. |

Limited information about the visa application process may be provided by the ASU Study Abroad Office and/or your host institution, but it is your sole responsibility to research, apply, and secure a visa.

Program HousingIn general, international exchange students can use the same methods to find accommodation in Munich as regular TUM students. These include searching for an apartment or a room on the private market, as well as applying for a room in a dormitory run by a social or private organization. In contrast to regular TUM students, however, international exchange students may not directly apply for a dormitory room run by the Munich Student Union (= Studentenwerk München). |
Below you will find information that may help you in planning for your study abroad experience. Early discussions and planning can help to support you in having a positive experience abroad. We invite you to meet with the International Coordinator for this program to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Physical ConsiderationsStudy abroad participants may find themselves walking or taking public transit abroad more frequently than they are accustomed at their home campus. Disability Accommodations AbroadIndividuals with disabilities can and do study abroad, but may find accessibility and accommodation in one of more of this program’s locations very different from the United States. For example, in Germany, older city sections and more rural towns are less accessible due to centuries-old architecture, which promises cobblestone streets, narrow staircase entry-ways, and small indoor spaces. LGBTQIA Students AbroadStudents of diverse sexual orientations or gender identities will find that the social climate, laws, and norms of other cultures will often differ from the U.S. If you identify as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer student - or if you are still exploring your identity - you may face unique challenges when traveling abroad. Gender Identity AbroadWhen traveling abroad, you may find different gender roles and norms than you’re used to. It’s possible that you may be treated differently or be expected to treat others differently based on your (or their) gender identity. Racial and Ethnic Minorities AbroadStudents of different ethnic and racial backgrounds may encounter unique challenges transitioning from life here in the United States to life as a student living abroad, including but not limited to access to personal care products and services. For example, in Germany, racism and discrimination do occur, but seem to be directed more towards immigrants from Africa or the Middle East. |
Cost InformationExchange program participants will pay ASU tuition and fees for the term of the Exchange program, according to the individual student's classification and degree level. In addition to ASU tuition and fees, participants are also responsible for paying the following fees:
Be sure to reference the Spring Semester Cost Sheet or the Academic Year Cost Sheet for information on any additional estimated expenses. The program may allow for time which can be spent in non-program activities. Participants may wish to travel, sightsee or participate in activities or events in which they have a personal interest. Please note that the participant is fully responsible for making arrangements and for all costs of transportation, lodging, food and additional expenses that may be associated with any non-Program activities. |
Funding Your Study Abroad ProgramStudying abroad is an investment in your future, which requires careful planning and management.

You should carefully consider costs, budgets and financing when selecting and preparing for your experience abroad. If you have questions at any step of the process, we encourage you to reach out to your International Coordinator for guidance. Steps to Financing Your Study Abroad Program
