Engineering Science B. Sc.
One degree, many possibilities!
Are you looking for a broad methodological and scientific basic education without wanting to commit yourself to one of the traditional engineering subjects at the start of your studies?
This Bachelor´s program Engineering Science is a well-founded and, compared to the usual engineering courses, significantly more in-depth mathematical and scientific education. Equal emphasis is placed on theory and method orientation as well as on the integration of practice-relevant content from industrial application. Students are given the opportunity to specialize individually in engineering sciences or in new interdisciplinary subject areas.
Comprehensive information on the degree course and application procedure can be found in the Wiki.
What you'll learn for your future?
After the first four semesters (foundation studies), students have a broad, method-oriented education in general engineering sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. Depending on your choice of specialization, you can develop your own engineering profile.
Due to the individual focus on a specialization area in the final year of study, students also have the opportunity to complete a corresponding Master's degree program at TUM or outside TUM. For example, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology or Software Engineering.
More information on the B.Sc. Engineering Science can be found on our TUM Engineering Science Wiki.

The first four semesters provide in-depth basic knowledge in engineering and natural sciences as well as mathematics and computer science. This is supplemented by coursework.
In the 5th and 6th semesters, students have the opportunity to focus on specific subjects, also with a view to a possible Master's degree. For this purpose, students have a module catalog from which they can choose individually. These modules help to develop an engineering profile in greater depth.
A special part of the study program is the large number of modules from elective area "Focusing" based on the sample curriculum. Here, students can include modules that may qualify them for a Master's degree course.
The Bachelor's thesis, worth 12 ECTS credits, is the final project of the degree program and is the first independent academic work on a specialist topic, which is set, supervised and assessed by university lecturers.
The languages of instruction on this degree program are German and English. This means that you will complete modules in both German and English during the course of your studies.
The selection of modules in the mandatory and elective areas is based on the module handbook and the subject examination and study regulations for the Bachelor of Engineering.
Timetables can also be found in the Wiki.
During your studies at TUM, you have the opportunity to study abroad for up to two semesters or complete an internship abroad. You can find more information on the various programs on the TUM Global website.
As part of the Erasmus+ program, you can study abroad at one of our partner universities as part of the Engineering Sciences course in Europe. With the TUMexchange program, you can study for a semester at a partner university outside Europe in Africa, Asia, Australia, North or South America.
An internship is not mandatory for this degree course and is not an admission requirement. However, it is generally advisable to gain practical experience at an early stage.

Please apply through the TUMonline application portal and upload your application documents.
The selection is made by means of an aptitude assessment procedure. This is a two-stage process in which suitability for the special qualitative requirements of the bachelor's degree program is assessed. In the first stage, the Abitur grades as well as subject-specific individual grades and, if applicable, relevant additional qualifications are evaluated by means of a point system. Depending on the score achieved, applicants are either admitted immediately, rejected, or invited to a selection interview.
