Technical University of Munich

Selected programme options include MSc Informatics — Garching; English; 120 ECTS; four full-time semesters. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.

For MSc Informatics, the school requires a Computer Science/Informatics bachelor’s comparable to TUM’s curriculum and a two-stage aptitude assessment. International qualifications normally require uni-assist VPD in addition to TUMonline; Indian-degree applicants also need APS. The school requires GRE Quantitative 164 and Analytical Writing 4.0 for degrees from India and certain other listed countries, or the qualifying Indian GATE Computer Science result. Review the current curriculum-analysis requirements. The scientific essay and statement of reasons must be the applicant’s own unaided work; our guidance must not write these for an applicant. Informatics is taught in English. TUM’s recognised evidence includes IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 88 on the legacy 0–120 scale (the university also addresses the new 1–6 scale), or PTE Academic 65. Other approved evidence, including documented English-medium prior study, is subject to the programme regulations. Do not assume a school English mark is sufficient for a master’s application.

The official MSc Informatics page lists EUR 6,000 tuition per full-time semester for chargeable international students from third countries; part-time charges are proportionate. This is the programme-specific rate published at review, not a TUM-wide average or a guaranteed 2027 quotation. The student-services semester contribution is additional, and exemptions/waivers must be checked individually. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

For visa-requiring applicants the school recommends applying by 31 March for winter or 31 October for summer, ahead of the compulsory 31 May/30 November deadlines. On this 22 October 2026 review, the recurring October–November window is the relevant planning window for summer 2027; verify the actual cycle in TUMonline. The displayed August 2026 assessment test belongs to the past winter 2026/27 round, not a future test appointment. MSc Informatics admits for winter and summer semesters, with lectures normally starting in October and April respectively. The published recurring application windows are 1 February–31 May for winter and 1 October–30 November for summer. A semester start date is not an application closing date.
