Promotion of outstanding students at the TUM
The TU München promotes the best 1-2 percent of its students in a special programme. Scholarship holders of the German National Academic Foundation or of the Max-Weber-Programme could additionally apply here. The support lasts two years and can be extended. It comprises the following elements:
- Interview with Professors from the Faculty of Informatics for the observation and organisation of the study process. In this context a support profile will be established to support a selective promotion among other things.
- Information about external promotion possibilities as well as scholarships and
assistance with the application. - Support with the selection and application of studies, research and practical training
stays in Germany and abroad in the fields of science and economics. - Participation in the development of studies in order to enhance the quality of studies
from the standpoint of the intellectually gifted. - Early introduction to research projects, special seminars and similar continuing
educational events for the students given support. These events are oriented to the
support programs organised by the mentor. - Acceptance in the main support program for outstanding students at the TUM with a
wide range of course offerings as described in points 7 and 8.
- Participation in “Personaility Development Seminars” (Kontaktseminaren), with
representatives from the fields of economics and public life. - Participation in high level weekend seminars and holiday academies etc. for personal
and career development.
- Special Courses
- Degrees
The acceptance for mentoring in our faculty is based on the results of the aptitude test, grades at the TUM or extraordinary contributions to faculty work. In addition, a written description of academic and career goals is required. A selection interview will also take place.
