Computer science bachelor
Informatics (B.Sc.) · Aptitude assessment; winter-semester applications 15 May–15 July. · The checked page does not state the teaching language; see the country rule below.
How to apply
TUMonline; many international applicants first need a preliminary documentation (VPD) from uni-assist
Deadline
VPD at uni-assist by 15 July for the winter semester; the programme's own TUM deadline also applies
School certificateCountry rule
Your school certificate must count as a German higher-education entrance qualification (HZB). If it does not, the usual route is a Studienkolleg with an assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) or one to two years of university study at home. The university makes the final decision.
LanguageCountry rule
Most bachelor programmes are taught in German and need German at B2 or higher (often DSH-2 or TestDaF 4 in all parts by enrolment); English-taught programmes need English proof instead.
Tuition (non-EU)
Non-EU students: €2,300 or €3,400 per semester for new students from winter semester 2027/28 (€2,000 or €3,000 before)
