How do I use the TUMonline applicant portal?
The online application is the first step when applying for a degree program at TUM. For all degree programs you use the application portal TUMonline: create an applicant account and let the electronic assistant guide you through the online application step by step.
Upload the documents required for admission during the online application. Once you have completed your online application, you can check the status of your application in TUMonline at any time.
If you have been admitted, you must still submit the application documents (certified copies etc.) in paper-based form by mail. Enrollment can only take place after all required documents have been submitted and the tuition fees have been paid.
You can find more information about the online application as well as frequently asked questions and answers on the central application pages of TUM:
