In addition to the TUM School of Management’s TUM SOMex program (incl. ERASMUS+), the Technical University of Munich offers TUMexchange, a university-wide exchange program open to students from all TUM departments.
If you want to find out more about destinations or the application process, you can check out the website of the TUM Global & Alumni Office.
For information on the recognition of credits from abroad at the TUM School of Management, please have a look here ("How to get credits transferred" in the section "During your stay abroad").
If you are not participating in a TUM-organized exchange program such as TUM SOMex or TUMexchange, you will be classified as a Freemover. This means that you will independently organize your study abroad and will generally be responsible for paying any applicable tuition fees. Useful links for Freemovers can be found here.
Before applying, please check your chosen university in the Anabin Database to ensure that courses taken abroad can be recognized at the TUM School of Management. Only courses from universities with H+ status are eligible for recognition. If your preferred university has a different status, please contact the TUM MGT International Office at outgoing@mgt.tum.de.
For more information on the recognition of credits, please have a look here ("How to get credits transferred" in the section "Credit Transfer"). For further support, please contact the International Office of TUM School of Management.
