New degree programs at TUM

Anyone who would like to begin studies this fall at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) can apply for admission now. TUM will offer four new master's degree programs in winter semester 2016/17, three of which will be taught exclusively in English. And the Hochschule für Politik München (HfP) - Bavarian School of Public Policy will offer the first bachelor's degree program in Political Science under the sponsorship of TUM. Master's degree program incorporates vocational education. TUM is the first university in Germany to offer a teaching degree program that incorporates both a master's degree program and the teacher training phase ("Referendariat"). This pilot project of the School of Education is oriented toward people considering a career change who would like to teach in a vocational school and already have a bachelor's degree in a suitable technical field. Instead of the usual four years for the master's degree program and teacher training phase, these students enroll in the integrated degree program for three years.
