3 reasons NOT to study at TUM (Technical University of Munich)

[@handan9282]

Omg, Garching 😅I hear you! Campus Garching really isn't in Munich 😂

[@Hannah_Ozz]

I couldn't agree more 😄

[@VC-kj9yx]

​@@Hannah_OzzI graduated from TU Munich in year 2021 with master of science in informatics. I studied and worked in garching and even did few courses at Arcisstraße. Where are you based?

[@DizzyBusy]

After having studied music in my Erststudium, honestly, studying engineering, even at the TU München, feels relaxing. At least you get to work on practice problems with other people instead of locking yourself up in a room and practicing alone for 6 hours every day until your brain can't register sound anymore, everything just became noise. The library situation is only bad at the end of the semester, otherwise you take your seat (in a room full of other people!) and just study like normal.

[@deepvaghasiya326]

I am really interested to know, what you are doing now? I mean what the career you are in and what do you do as a mechanical enigneer? Are you using that Mechanik und Mathematik theories you learnt in the University?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

I work in consulting now, mostly around IT / software related topics for industrial companies. I am not using a large portion of things I've learned as mechanical engineer e.g. mechanics, thermodynamics, material science etc, but the problem solving skills, methods and concepts and coding I've learned as an engineer 😉

Hello. You mentioned thart you lived in the Olympic village. How did you get in and what were the costs? Great and informative video, thank you!:)

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Hi :) Thank you very much 😊 I was on the waitlist from Studentenwerk for 3 semesters (1.5 years) before getting a place there, it takes a while but it is worth the wait 😉 During my time it was around 330 euros per month. I think it should be similar to that now as well. You should be able to check out the cost from their website actually. Hope this helps! 🙏😊

[@shurilap]

@@Hannah_Ozz Thank you very much for your answer:)

[@VC-kj9yx]

​@@Hannah_Ozzsame here. 3 semester waiting time and then I got a room in studentenwerk

My bachelor degre is engineering but somehow different compared to master degree i want to apply. Would it be problem during my application?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

It depends on the degrees. You need to check, if your bachelors fullfill all the requirements they are looking for that masters degree including the classes, ECTS required from the Bachelors etc.

[@genekisayan6564]

It depends to what you apply and how many courses are going to lack

[@user-kv4eg8mu1k]

Maschinenbau and Aerospace in TU München they are same right? First year of Bachelor Program (like you said is brutal) we re gonna deal with Calculus, Engineering Mechanics and Electrical Engineerings? Hopefully get your answer

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Hello, I needed to check this for you 😉 because back in my day (Gosh, I feel old haha), we only had one bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (Maschinenbau) and then we could pick out of 10 master's degrees as a specialization and aerospace was one of them. Now with the new aerospace campus, they are offering a new bachelor's degree directly in aerospace. It is not the same as Mechanical Engineering. There are some smilarities obviously but the biggest difference is aerospace is mostly in English and the chairs will probably offer the same or similar classes in English. Some of the classes are actually from the same Profs as in Mechanical Engineering but some are different with more or less credits (ECTS). Nonetheless, I think the first years are going to be the brutal ones from what I know about TUM 😉 It is actually not because of the classes themselves but how the exams are structured. Sometimes, they make the exams extra difficult so that 50% of the students wouldn't make it etc. But if you get through the first year successfully, you just get used to it 😊 It is totally doable in my opinion, I never failed an exam during my time at TUM, it just takes a bit disciple and knowing how you learn best for yourself 😉 Hope this helps 🙏😊 For the details on the differences, you can check them out yourself with these 2 links: - Courses for Bachelors in Aerospace: campus.tum.de/tumonline/ee/ui/ca2/app/desktop/#/pl/ui/$ctx/wbstpcs.showSpoTree?$ctx=design=ca2;header=max;lang=de&pSjNr=1617&pStStudiumNr=&pStartSemester=&pStpStpNr=4940 - Courses for Bachelors in Maschinenbau: campus.tum.de/tumonline/ee/ui/ca2/app/desktop/#/pl/ui/$ctx/wbstpcs.showSpoTree?$ctx=design=ca2;header=max;lang=de&pSjNr=1617&pStStudiumNr=&pStartSemester=&pStpStpNr=4919

@@Hannah_Ozz Your informations help me a lot! And tests of brutally first year are normally about Calculus, Electrical Engineering and Engineering Mechanicals right?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Yes, exactly! :) Assuming that those will be the ones you'd have to pass in the first year ;) For Calculus (Höhere Mathe) and technical mechanics in Maschinenbau, we only had 2 opportunities to pass

[@user-kv4eg8mu1k]

@@Hannah_Ozz Schönen Dank für deine Infos, für mich ist das sehr hilfreich 🙏🌝

[@Hannah_Ozz]

sehr gern, freut mich zu wissen 😊Ich wünsche dir alles Gute im Studium! 🙏😊

[@rianaandatu]

Hi,have question without german Certificate languange can get in Campus just using IELTS?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

I was enrolled in a German speaking degree but for a degree in English, you should be able to. You just need to check the requirements for the specific degree. :)

[@VC-kj9yx]

My ielts score was 7.5 and it was enough for TU Munich but I also took GRE and other things

[@ahmarsajjad4795]

Passing through the brutal time it's really tough haha.

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Haha I hear you, it really is! Good luck with everything! 😊🙏

[@AshwanRaj-w4w]

German language is necessary for bachelor's in TUM or English is enough ?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

It depends on the bachelor's degree. I did my bachelors in mechanical engineering and it was completely in German. I think there are a few studies offering bachelors in English. You'd need to check ;)

[@d4a72]

How was ur A-level when u went to TUM. I got accepted in e.g. but after hearing what u say about all that idk if I should be happy or not.

[@Hannah_Ozz]

I am not sure what exactly A-level is but the German equivalent would be the high school diploma "Abitur". Mine was 1.1, from 1.0 to 4.0, 1.0 being the best. I had no difficulty passing the exams during university. I just needed learn the fact that studying consistently and self-motivation was the trick 😉 I think everyone can do that 😊😉

[@frankcb11]

Are you going to make the video on student life in Germany

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Yes, it is currently in the making. I was just gathering some ideas around different videos, I might do some street interviews with students in the future. But videos are coming soon in the next weeks ( I just need to push through the downs of quitting caffeine in the next days 😅)

[@frankcb11]

very cool! I respect the caffeine quitting and trying new things! I really want to know though because I have attended college here in the states and I know European schools may not be as party heavy as we are. But it’s slightly overblown because a lot of schools aren’t as party heavy or you have to be in a clique. In fact a lot of students end up going to the bars and stuff and that’s the partying not just house, frat or dorm parties. I want to see the difference and commonalities. Also want to live in Germany in coming years so always interested in learning more

[@VC-kj9yx]

​​@@Hannah_Ozzbachelor and master aren't really much different but masters is harder than Bachelor as there are some hard courses only for master student. You need to have many prequisites for master courses and they are harder. Professors are also harder on master students as it is expected from master student to be good in their course of study

[@YTS214]

Yo how much grades do i need for TUM in final year of highschool in German gpa system

[@Hannah_Ozz]

It depends on what you are going to study. Some programs have NC and you need to have good grades and some don't

[@rajkakadiya3109]

Hello dear , i got admit from TUM at heilbronn campus to study bacholer in information engineering. Should i join this course ?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

@rajkakadiya3109 first of all congratulations! 👏😊 It is totally up to you to decide what you should study. As I didn't study there, I can't really know but TUM is a very good university, they must have good courses there. Just be aware, Heilbronn is not really close to Munich 😉

[@freddiemoon6813]

Hi @rajkakadiya, I am trying to get admitted for their management and Dig. Technology program also at Heibronn. any tips? especially for their essay

[@SoftewareDeveloper]

Were lectures recorded?

[@Hannah_Ozz]

Not all of them in my faculty (Mechanical Engineering or I think they made it some other name now). Most of the lectures weren't recorded. Some of the larger lectures would get recorded. It really depends on the faculty and the professors.

[@EuskaltelEuskadi]

"Finals every six months"... this is how it works for every university in the UK. You have an exam at the end of the course and that's your mark for the course. Sometimes 10% or so will come from an assignment or project. But otherwise, learning to learn for yourself is normal and should be what every university makes its students do.

[@Hannah_Ozz]

I didn't know that about UK universities, thanks so much for the information. Is it like that in the UK for all the subjects? I thought that it is only like this mostly in German universities. What I know from the US and Turkey that they have mid-terms, finals, graded assignments and retakes and so on. I guess the different thing about TUM could be that for some exams in bachelors, we only got 2 chances to pass. So, students could be getting kicked out one year later and the success rate of those exams are usually not higher than 30-40%.

[@VC-kj9yx]

​@@Hannah_Ozzyeah but courses in bachelor are easier than master. It is not that hard to pass or 4.0 in bachelor courses. However, in master courses some are very hard and almost everyone fail. Look at deep learning and machine learning for example
