What our Alumni say

  • Excellent structuring, very original tasks!

    Former participant of the course
  • What an outstanding course. The instructors make the videos engaging and convey the topics in a much more interesting manner than any other computer science lecturer I’ve ever seen. The course is structured very cleverly as well, with multiple video paths that you can take depending on how much support you need.

    Former participant of the course
  • The course contributed an important boost to personal growth, and a path to new relationships. It exposed me to a rich combination of the science and practice of brewing. Engaging on-line presentations were followed by two, intensive, on-site sessions of three days each.

    John Chapman
    Venture Capitalist and Hobby Brewer (Participant Brewer Course 2022/2023)
  • I was looking for an adequate advanced training in the field of sustainability and the combination of purely theoretical knowledge and relevant practical aspects convinced me to participate. Above all, the selection of lecturers absolutely met my expectations. Another positive aspect for me was the wide range of topics across the 8 modules.

    S. Merken
  • Comprehensive knowledge of timber construction is the key to serving the exploding demand for building concepts with renewable raw materials.

    Prof. Hermann Kaufmann
    HK Architekten Hermann Kaufmann + Partner ZT
  • The Data Science program was an excellent refresher that reconnected me with the close relationship between computer science and mathematics. In just six days, an impressively broad spectrum was covered – from R fundamentals and statistical foundations to advanced machine learning methods and deep learning architectures. I particularly valued the well-balanced combination of theoretical concepts like Bayesian inference with practical applications in reinforcement learning and optimization methods. An intensive program that provides comprehensive insights into modern data-driven approaches.

    Ing. Valmir Bekiri
    BSc, MSc
  • The BIM Professional certification course is characterized by the very high quality of the lecturers and thus the content taught. It was possible to cover the entire range of Building Information Modeling topics from practical application examples to the latest innovative research results in the content of the certification course.

    Mischa G.
    DB Netz AG – Major projects RB Ost, Berlin
  • Imparting comprehensive knowledge about the agricultural and food sector. I greatly appreciate TUM’s efforts to improve the knowledge of people around the world through free education.

    Former participant in the course Economics of Agro-Food Value Chains
  • I did not know that the Internet had such a brilliant architecture! The knowledge from this course helps me not only with computer networks but also with scaling large software systems.

    Former Participant of the course iLabX
  • The course covered all the fundamentals and provided me with a broad knowledge base. Several use cases were discussed, and I was even able to create my own cryptocurrency with a few lines of code. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to gain knowledge and looking for potential opportunities in the blockchain space.

    Lyons W.
    Participant 2020
  • The TUM.wood program takes a holistic approach to teaching wood construction. A team of lecturers and experts from theory and practice gives participants a comprehensive insight into the wood value chain. This is particularly interesting for experienced architects.

    René Rissland
    Alumni
    Architekt BDA, raum.land architekten und stadtplaner
  • Wood as a material offers enormous design potential for architecture and engineering. It can be used in a wide variety of ways. What fascinates me about wood is not only the aesthetic expression of the material, but also the special tectonics and the precision of digital production methods.

    Prof. Stephan Birk
    Dipl.-Ing. Architekt BDA, Professor for Architecture and Timber Construction, TUM
  • The Global Aerospace Campus online course “Space Safety” has provided me with invaluable knowledge in the aspects of space debris, collision avoidance, and asteroid impacts.

    Previous Learner
  • Access to knowledge and personal development are now more important than ever to ensure the success of a company. That is why I am happy to support any form of continuing education, also in our Alumni Association.

    Susanne Mader
    Executive MBA | 3rd Chairperson & Treasurer
  • The course is for the Ag professionals from the Ag professionals. It is a perfect environment not just to stay up to date but to generate new ideas with sparring partners on the same level, from the same industry but slightly different disciplines, opening up completely new horizons. I enjoyed every second of it!

    Milica Perisic
    Graduate Smart Farming & IoT in Agriculture (2022)
  • The modules of the Executive MBA in Business & IT are organized in a way you can get the best learning experience. For me this was translated into a broader business knowledge and leadership skills that help me improve my collaboration, problem solving and decision making with marketing and other business domains resulting in more value delivered to the organization.

    Gerardo Ayala Solano
    Class of 2024
  • From day one of my practical phase, Voith showed me that they were fully involved and that what I did was a real enrichment for them. They made me understand that my work would help the company to make real-life decisions in order to become more competitive. I think, good communication and the exchange of information were the key pillars of successful project development.

    Andres Rodriguez
    Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • Additive manufacturing in its already great diversity makes it possible to get from a product idea to a finished product in record time. In addition, layer-by-layer construction can create structures with the most complex geometries, in multi-material construction or with integrated functionalities, which would not be so easy to realize with conventional technologies.

    Prof. Dr. Peter Mayr
    Chair of Materials Engineering of Additive Manufacturing
  • The Talent Booster combines evidence-based approaches from research with extensive practical experience in business transformation. Applying both perspectives to one’s own situation makes the Talent Booster especially valuable for aspiring leaders who are shaping digital transformation in organizations. Here, you will further develop your leadership skills to successfully align strategy, innovation, and technology with the human side of change.

    Dr. Ulf Steinberg
    Senior Lecturer | Leadership- and Organizational Development
  • It was very interesting to learn about the various factors of factual and human performance requirements and their effects. Especially in the operating room, where work is often done under time pressure and with changing team members, errors can be consciously avoided through good patient safety management.
