About the course

A three-year engineering degree taught entirely in English, covering maths, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science and electrical engineering applied to aircraft and spacecraft, with electives from the fourth semester. In semesters 1-4 you spend one day a week in Garching and the other weekdays at the Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen site.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • German recognition rules say the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with six subjects: at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science subject at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. TUM publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with TUM admissions.
  • Two-stage aptitude assessment: stage 1 scores your overall grade, your maths, English and science or computer science grades and extracurricular achievements (80+ points = admitted, 70 or below = rejected, 71-79 = invited to a selection interview).
  • English: no English certificate is needed to apply, because TUM checks English (B2 level) within the aptitude assessment. German: TUM requires proof of German at A2 level; check TUM’s list of accepted certificates and submit it by the end of the application period.

How to apply

  1. Check your subjectsMake sure your Leaving Cert plan includes Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5 or better, as well as meeting the six-subject rule.
  2. Get German A2Sit an A2 German exam that TUM accepts before summer 2027 so you can upload the certificate by the deadline.
  3. Apply on TUMonlineApply between 15 May and 15 July 2027 with your grades and documents; upload your final results as soon as they are issued.
  4. Aptitude assessmentIf you score 71-79 points you will be invited to a selection interview; then accept your offer and enrol for October 2027.
Leaving Cert students: results come out in August, after this deadline, and uni-assist doesn’t accept predicted Leaving Cert grades. If you’re applying with 2027 results, check with the university before relying on this date. This deadline still works if you already have your results.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Apply online between 15 May and 15 July for the October (winter semester) start; there is only a winter intake. These are TUM’s published standard dates; confirm the 2027 dates on the programme page. Applicants scoring 71-79 points in stage 1 are invited to a selection interview afterwards..

Costs

  • No tuition for EU/EEA students, including Irish students. You pay only the TUM student fee of €97 per semester (about €194 a year). TUM’s tuition fees apply only to non-EU international students. No application fee is listed.
Although the course is taught entirely in English, TUM requires proof of German at A2 level, so start a German course early in 6th year. You also need Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5 or better to meet German entry rules for engineering.
