  • Having over twenty years of experience in both technical and management roles, I always found that I was missing certain tools in my ‘toolbox’ – especially when it came to working with senior executives.

  • Using timber construction meaningful and with a sense of proportion – we want to impart the sound specialist knowledge for this.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Winter
    Chair of Timber Construction and Building Design, TUM
  • 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
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What I particularly liked about this course is that it was not industry-specific, which allowed me to learn how other industries use Blockchain. Also, the course provides excellent foundational knowledge in each module. The group exercise and case study were also excellent ways to apply our new knowledge and solidify our understanding of the material. Not to mention, I made new acquaintances and friends thanks to the course!

  • Theory and practice turned out to be very well-connected, especially during the team project. It changed the way I communicate with my customers today and how I listen to market needs between the lines. Other big learnings came from my peers. With a broad variety of industrial backgrounds everyone brought in a different practical view on the topics discussed.

    Andreas Heeg

  • By combining different areas of expertise, the certificate program provides a broad, integrated and critical perspective on the diverse aspects of sustainability.

    Global Segment Manager Mold Making & Sustainability Coordinator Industrial Solutions, Wacker Chemie AG
  • When you join this Executive MBA program, you become part of a group of interesting people from various backgrounds, who all want to improve as professionals. Working side by side with these experienced and accomplished individuals has taught me things such as: new ways of approaching problems, paths of execution entirely different from mine, insights, and advice from sources I never had access to. The side effect: a reliable personal network, that would have taken years to build up.

    Marc Erras
    Class of 2018
