TUM publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

TUM Campus Heilbronn (funded by the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung) does not charge the non-EU tuition fee that applies at TUM's Munich and Straubing campuses -- consistent with the same tuition-free policy already recorded for TUM's other Campus Heilbronn Bachelor's programme (Information Engineering) on StudyPath. Only the basic student union/semester fee applies.

Priced for this course · Non-EU students

TUM publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

Policy in force for newly enrolling students since winter semester 2024/25 (bachelor's degrees are priced at either EUR 2,000 or EUR 3,000 per semester depending on the programme), but the program page itself states no academic year next to the 3,000-euro figure. Charged on top of the EUR 97 (or EUR 82 at TUM Campus Straubing) per-semester student-union contribution every student pays.

Show the fee on the university's site

TUM's own program page states the non-EU tuition fee directly: 'The tuition fees for international students from third countries for this degree program are 3,000 euros per semester.' This is charged on top of the EUR 97 per-semester student-union contribution every student pays. TUM's central non-EU tuition-fee page confirms the policy — in force for newly enrolling students since the winter semester 2024/25 — prices bachelor's degrees at either EUR 2,000 or EUR 3,000 per semester depending on the programme; Aerospace sits at the higher EUR 3,000 rate. Students from EU/EEA countries and several exempted groups (e.g. Swiss nationals with an independent residence status, UK nationals resident in Germany before Brexit) do not pay it. Neither the program page nor the central fee page attaches an academic-year or dated 'as of' label to this figure, so it is recorded here rather than as a dated structured fee. TUM's own need-and-merit 'Scholarship for International Students' (a one-time EUR 500-1,800 per semester, reapplied each semester, open to bachelor's students from their 3rd semester onward) and the Deutschlandstipendium (EUR 300/month, explicitly described by TUM as 'not purely a merit-based scholarship') can offset the fee, but neither publishes a specific grade or class-rank threshold, so neither is recorded as a named, criteria-gated scholarship.

TUM's central language-certificates page separately lists Aerospace among the bachelor's programs where 'English language skills verification is carried out as part of the aptitude assessment. An English language certificate is not required for the application.'

In this process, it is assessed whether the language skills you acquired at school are sufficient for the program by examining the proof in your higher education entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur). Alternatively, the necessary language skills can be verified during the aptitude interview or by providing a language certificate of at least level B2. In addition, a German language certificate (minimum A2 level) is required.”

Admissions tests

  • Aptitude Assessment for Bachelor requiredA mandatory two-stage procedure: secondary-school grades, subject-specific grades and relevant experience are scored on a points system; depending on the score, applicants are immediately admitted, rejected, or invited to an admissions interview. The program separately requires proof of a pre-study internship of at least eight weeks, to be documented by 31 October of the first year at the latest (a conditional application without proof is possible).

Policy in force for newly enrolling students since winter semester 2024/25 (bachelor's degrees are priced at either EUR 2,000 or EUR 3,000 per semester depending on the programme), but the program page itself states no academic year next to the 3,000-euro figure.

TUM's own program page states the non-EU tuition fee directly: 'The tuition fees for international students from third countries for this degree program are 3,000 euros per semester.' This is charged on top of the EUR 97 per-semester student-union contribution every student pays. TUM's central non-EU tuition-fee page confirms the policy — in force for newly enrolling students since the winter semester 2024/25 — prices bachelor's degrees at either EUR 2,000 or EUR 3,000 per semester depending on the programme; Geodesy and Earth Observation sits at the higher EUR 3,000 rate. Neither the program page nor the central fee page attaches an academic-year or dated 'as of' label to this figure, so it is recorded here rather than as a dated structured fee. TUM's own need-and-merit 'Scholarship for International Students' (a one-time EUR 500-1,800 per semester) and the Deutschlandstipendium (EUR 300/month, explicitly 'not purely a merit-based scholarship') can offset the fee, but neither publishes a stated grade/class-rank bar, so neither is recorded as a named, criteria-gated scholarship.

What this actually costs

Unlike TUM's Munich- and Straubing-based English-taught bachelor's programs, this program's own 'Costs' summary lists only the standard student-union contribution ('Student Fees: 97.00 €') -- no separate non-EU tuition fee applies here, because TUM Campus Heilbronn (funded by the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung) does not charge it. See internationalTuition for exactly how this was confirmed: every Munich/Straubing program on StudyPath that IS fee-liable states the exact amount in an explicit sentence on its own page, and that sentence is consistently absent across every current TUM Campus Heilbronn bachelor's page checked. TUM Campus Heilbronn's own FAQ page states: 'Are there any tuition fees? The semester fees are currently €102; you can find the latest information on tuition fees here' -- i.e. the campus's own FAQ treats the semester fee itself as the answer to 'are there tuition fees,' with nothing added on top. TUM's own need-and-merit 'Scholarship for International Students' (EUR 500-1,800 per semester) and the Deutschlandstipendium (EUR 300/month) are described elsewhere on StudyPath as broad, non-criteria-gated aid, and remain available on top of this program already being tuition-free.

Academic offer

Requires a Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, engineering sciences, computer science, mechanical engineering, management & technology, or a comparable degree related to transportation science, with at least 140 credits earned by the time of application. English is required, but the page names no specific test with a minimum score -- it just requires 'a recognized language test (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS)' unless the applicant's Bachelor's was itself taught in English. Selection runs through a two-stage aptitude assessment: a points-based review of grades, transcripts and the letter of motivation (max. 100 points total), followed by a personal interview for borderline scorers (60-69 points); 70+ points admits directly, 59 or below is rejected outright. Applicants who completed their first degree in China, Bangladesh, India, Iran, or Pakistan must also submit GRE or GATE scores (minimum GRE Quantitative Reasoning 157, Analytical Writing 3.0).

How TUM compares

Against the other universities in Germany on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

TUM charges international students no tuition for Human Medicine, its lowest-fee undergraduate course. Of the 113 other universities in Germany we list with undergraduate fees in EUR, 47 charge more at their lowest, 66 charge the same. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from nothing (H-BRS) to €27,500 (Bard College Berlin).

TUM's lowest master's fee for international students is ~€8,000 a year, for Chemical Biotechnology. Of the 88 other universities in Germany we list with master's fees in EUR, 10 charge more at their lowest, 78 charge less. Their lowest master's fees run from nothing (H-BRS) to ~€23,850 (Constructor University).

Student housing. TUM's own lowest published rate is €340 per month. Of the 111 other universities in Germany we list that publish housing per month in EUR, 33 charge more, 76 charge less, 2 charge the same. Their lowest published rates run from €148 (Uni Rostock) to €650 (FU Berlin).

Living costs. The living-cost figure for a student visa to Germany is €11,904 per year, on top of tuition (figure for 10.04.2025; read 19 Aug 2026 from allemagneenfrance.diplo.de). The authority attaches conditions that can change this amount; see them in full on student finance.

Accommodation

€340–€403.90per month

Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern halls at Garching, TUM’s science and engineering campus (Garching I, Jochbergweg 1–7 and Garching II, Enzianstraße 1+3, both at U6 Garching). TUM lets no halls itself: its own student-halls page directs applicants to the Studierendenwerk and states that exchange students cannot apply to these particular halls. Warmmiete — the operator’s list is headed “Warmmiete”, so heating and utilities are included. Waiting lists are 3 to 4 semesters for these rooms, which is why TUM’s own cost-of-living page separately advises budgeting 800–1,200 EUR a month for a shared flat or studio on the open market; that figure is what this record previously held, and it remains the realistic number for anyone who does not get a hall place.

  • Garching II — own room in a 2-person flat, 16 rooms, 4 semester wait€340
  • Garching I — own room in a shared flat, 106 rooms, 3 semester wait€385.90–€403.90
  • Garching I — accessible room, 4 rooms, on request€403.90

After you graduate

Rules read 16 Aug 2026. Check the current rules, this may be out of date

What Germany's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Money you must prove before the visa

€11,904per year — the mission publishes it both ways, as 992,00 Euro pro Monat and 11.904,00 Euro pro Jahr, and says the proof normally has to cover the first year of the planned stay

Paid into a blocked account before you travel, and released to you in monthly instalments once you arrive.

Figure published for: 10.04.2025, the date the Federal Foreign Office carries on this page, and still stated there as the amount required when read on 19 August 2026. The figure is the BAföG maximum support rate, which the Auswärtiges Amt says the deposit is based on, so it moves when that rate moves. This amount is revised regularly, so check it again before you transfer anything.

A Sperrkonto is one accepted way to show the money, not the only one: the Auswärtiges Amt also accepts evidence of the parents' income and assets, a Verpflichtungserklärung (a formal undertaking under §§ 66-68 AufenthG by someone living in Germany), or an annually renewable bank guarantee lodged with a German bank. Someone applying as a Studienbewerber/in (applicant for a study place, § 17 II AufenthG) rather than an enrolled student must show a higher 1.091,00 Euro per month. A scholarship counts toward the requirement, but where it is worth less than 992,00 Euro a month the shortfall still has to be evidenced separately. Only 1/12 of the deposited total may be withdrawn per month, and at the visa appointment the mission accepts only an official account-opening confirmation naming both the total paid in and the monthly available amount. Blocked-account provider fees are payable on top of the blocked sum.

Work during study

International students on a residence permit for study purposes may generally work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year without needing separate permission from the immigration or labour authorities, and may also take on student ancillary jobs (studentische Nebentätigkeiten — e.g. a student-assistant role at their own institution) which are not counted against that limit. In exceptional cases, the Ausländerbehörde (immigration office) responsible for the applicant's place of study can restrict this.

Post-study work visa

Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Arbeitsplatzsuche nach Studienabschluss (residence permit to seek employment after graduation, Section 20 Residence Act) . Up to 18 months
After successfully completing a degree or doctorate at a German higher education institution, a graduate can obtain a residence permit for up to 18 months to look for a job for any qualified employment. Any kind of work is permitted during this job-search period, and the applicant must be able to show their living costs are covered for it. (A separate, later 'Chancenkarte' route of up to 1 year exists for someone who later loses a follow-on job and needs to search again.)

Route to permanent residence

A graduate who completes a degree or doctorate at a German higher education institution and then works for two years in a job matching that qualification can obtain a settlement permit (unbefristeter Aufenthaltstitel) — an unlimited, permanent residence title. This particular route does not apply to someone holding a residence permit for research purposes. Separately, a graduate with a concrete job offer meeting the required minimum salary threshold has a statutory right to be issued an EU Blue Card.

Route to citizenship

Naturalisation (Einbürgerung) is governed by the federal Staatsangehörigkeitsgesetz (StAG) and administered by each Land's own naturalisation authority, with BAMF publishing the citizen-facing requirements. As of this reading the standard route requires 5 years of habitual, lawful residence in Germany — reduced from 8 years by the reform that took effect 27 June 2024. A shorter 3-year route for exceptional integration achievements existed briefly after that reform (StAG §10(3)) but was itself repealed effective 30 October 2025, confirmed by the current official law text simply marking that paragraph '(weggefallen)' (lapsed) — so 5 years is again the uniform minimum for every applicant rather than one of two tracks. Applicants must also hold secure residence status, be able to support themselves and any dependants without core social-assistance benefits, have no relevant criminal conviction, demonstrate German at CEFR level B1, and pass the Einbürgerungstest (a 33-question test on Germany's legal and social order, history and the applicant's own Land; 17 correct answers required). Since 27 June 2024, Germany accepts multiple nationality for every applicant, not only EU/Swiss nationals as the pre-reform rule allowed: naturalising no longer requires giving up an applicant's existing citizenship — though whether that other country's own law actually lets the person keep it remains outside Germany's control.

What the government currently prioritises

The most concrete, actionable shortage signal for StudyPath’s students is Germany's EU Blue Card (Blaue Karte EU, a residence title under Section 18g of the Residence Act for someone with an academic degree and a job offer matching that qualification): it is granted at a reduced minimum gross annual salary when the job is in a recognised shortage occupation (Mangelberuf) or the applicant graduated within the last 3 years — EUR 45,934.20 for 2026 (the 'kleine'/small Blue Card), versus EUR 50,700 for the standard 'große'/large Blue Card, both set by the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and adjusted annually. The Bundesagentur's own current examples of shortage occupations qualifying for the reduced threshold explicitly include: academic specialists in mathematics, computer science, natural science and technology ('Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik', MINT — a category covering engineering under 'Technik'); academic specialists in architecture and spatial/transport planning; doctors ('Ärztinnen und Ärzte'), dentists, vets and pharmacists; and academic nursing/midwifery specialists. A further special rule lets an IT specialist qualify for the reduced-threshold Blue Card without a university degree at all, given at least 3 years of relevant, academic-level professional experience within the last 7 years. The reduced threshold requires the Bundesagentur für Arbeit to first check that pay and working conditions match those of comparable domestic employees; the standard threshold needs no such check. Separately, the Bundesagentur's annual shortage-occupation analysis (Fachkräfteengpassanalyse) found 157 occupations in shortage in its 2025 edition, concentrated in nursing/healthcare, construction and skilled trades — a broader, non-Blue-Card-specific measure that changes year to year (it found IT-sales and software-development shortages had ended compared with the prior year, while a new shortage appeared in surveying-engineering).

“Für die „große“ Blaue Karte EU muss ein Mindestbruttojahresgehalt erreicht werden, welches im Jahr 2026 50.700 Euro beträgt. Dieser Betrag wird jährlich angepasst. Bei der „großen“ Blauen Karte EU ist die Zustimmung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit nicht erforderlich, das heißt, es findet keine Prüfung der Beschäftigungsbedingungen statt. „Kleine“ Blaue Karte EU Personen mit einem Mangelberuf und Berufseinsteigende können die Blaue Karte EU auch mit einem geringeren Bruttojahresgehalt beantragen, welches 2026 45.934,20 Euro beträgt.”

Two different day-count rules should not be confused: the 120-full-days/240-half-days limit above applies to a residence permit for study purposes (enrolled degree students). A separate, unrelated day limit applies to residence permits for study-preparation stays (e.g. attending a language course before enrolling), which is not the rule described here. make-it-in-germany.com — the Federal Government's official skilled-migration portal, which publishes much of this same material in English — returned an automated bot-verification challenge to this collector's non-browser fetch tools and so could not be archived and cited directly; every figure in this entry is instead cited to BAMF and Auswärtiges Amt pages, which independently state the same rules. Read 16 August 2026. Deepening pass, 17 August 2026: inDemandOccupations replaced with EU Blue Card salary-threshold detail, per the project brief's explicit ask for a country whose reduced threshold is tied to named shortage professions. Cited to arbeitsagentur.de (the Bundesagentur für Arbeit's own ZAV international-placement newsletter page), an already-allowlisted Germany domain — no domain change needed. The 2026 figures (EUR 50,700 standard / EUR 45,934.20 reduced) and the shortage-occupation category names (MINT academics, architecture/planning academics, doctors, dentists, vets, pharmacists, academic nursing/midwifery, plus the IT-specialist-without-degree carve-out) are this page's own words, not a conversion from another currency/scale. Note precisely what 'MINT' covers: it is the Bundesagentur's own umbrella term for mathematics, computer science (Informatik), natural science and technology (Technik) graduates — it names the category, not the word 'Ingenieur'/engineer literally, though Technik is understood to include engineering; this entry says so explicitly rather than overclaiming a literal citation. The prior Fachkräfteengpassanalyse content (157 shortage occupations, 2025 edition) was kept as a second, shorter paragraph rather than deleted, since it remains accurate and gives a broader (non-Blue-Card) shortage signal. citizenshipRoute added 17 August 2026: the 5-year figure and B1/Einbürgerungstest conditions are cited to bamf.de's own 'Einbürgerung in Deutschland' page (896146c8106c6a83, read the same day this note was written, so it reflects the post-30-October-2025 rule). The repeal of the 3-year fast track was independently confirmed against the current official law text of StAG §10 on gesetze-im-internet.de (5e754a29c205e76e, already an allowed Germany domain by virtue of being added — see the accepted government-source list), which shows paragraphs (3) and (3a) both marked '(weggefallen)'. The dual-nationality statement ('Seit dem 27.06.2024 werden alle Staatsangehörigen unter Hinnahme von Mehrstaatigkeit eingebürgert') is cited to auswaertiges-amt.de, an already-allowed Germany domain, rather than bamf.de, since BAMF's own citizen-facing page does not itself state the Mehrstaatigkeit rule in as much detail. bmi.bund.de — the ministry that owns this policy — returned HTTP 400 to every fetch attempt (automated fetching) on several different URLs tried, so it could not be used despite being an already-allowed domain; a future collector with different network conditions should retry it. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route' on 18 August 2026: the authority already cited under citizenshipRoute publishes criteria a foreign resident could actually follow, which is the only claim this field makes. It is deliberately not a judgement about how attainable that route is in practice. studentVisaFunds added 19 August 2026. The Auswärtiges Amt's own central Sperrkonto page deliberately publishes no number: it says the amount 'variiert je nach Aufenthaltszweck', is based on the BAföG maximum rates, and tells the applicant to look it up 'auf der Webseite der zuständigen Auslandsvertretung bzw. im Auslandsportal' — its English twin says the same. The figure is therefore cited to a German mission's own page on diplo.de, the Federal Foreign Office's domain for its embassies and consulates and the body that actually issues the national visa, which is why diplo.de was added to Germany's the accepted government-source list. The Paris embassy page was chosen because it states the monthly and the annual figure in one sentence and also carries the Studienbewerber and scholarship conditions. Three further missions were archived the same day as an independent cross-check and all state the same rate: Quito '12 x 992,- = 11.904,- €', Tiflis 'der jeweils gültige BaföG-Satz, der aktuell 992,-- Euro beträgt', and Tashkent '11.904 Euro für das gesamte erste Jahr'. The widely-circulated 11.208 Euro figure is the pre-September-2024 rate and was not used; the Auswärtiges Amt's own FAQ page on study financing no longer prints any figure at all. make-it-in-germany.com, though allowlisted, again returned a JavaScript/bot-challenge stub of 93 characters to plain HTTP fetching and so could not be archived.
