What our Alumni say

  • The course was extremely well-designed and useful. I have been writing academic papers for several years and yet, in each video, there was something new to learn. Thank you, teachers. I am presently doing a report for the World Bank and I find that the entire course has been extremely helpful, especially the sections on genre, cohesion, nominalisations, active and passive voice, credibility and formal writing. A huge thanks to those who designed the course, presented the videos and planned the exercises.

    Former participant in the course Academic Writing Made Easy
  • The course was very intensive. It covered all the aspect of agriculture value-chain. The professor from reputed universities on their field of expertise made the chapter cohesive, conceptual and practical. Thus, enabling the students to understand the circumstances, past, presenent and future scenario in agriculture value chain with industry-based environment. This course is a must for agri-preneurs.

    Former participant in the course Economics of Agro-Food Value Chains
  • I am delighted that the new certificate program “Patient Safety” has been launched by TUM’s Medical Faculty and the Klinikum rechts der Isar in close cooperation with TUM Campus Straubing, the Klinikum St. Elisabeth Straubing and Lufthansa Aviation Training. Due to the advances made in the digitalization of medicine and the increasingly complex processes involved in treatment, the topic of patient safety is becoming ever more important in our clinics and hospitals. The interdisciplinary partnership of medicine, research and business holds the promise of innovative and dynamic strategies for the responsible handling of risks posed by modern medicine.

    Former Minister of State, Member of the Bavarian State Parliament
  • The covered topics were perfect for me as someone coming from another professional field. Exactly the right mix of praxis relevant information for the daily brewing process, but also with a solid foundation of science to help to truly understand the entire process. The lectures were all well prepared, very competent and engaged with great passion. The organization was perfect, as was the atmosphere during the course.

    Dr. Matthias Dreyer
    Chemical Engineer and Owner of a Microbrewery (Participant Brewer Course 2022/23)
  • The program provided an excellent environment to learn new methods how to consider unforeseeable changes in the competitive environment. I liked especially the opportunities to reflect the learning with practical examples, and the personal coaching for an own case.

    Dr.-Ing. Martin Haller
    MBA, Senior Director Strategic Projects, Infineon Technologies AG
  • One of the great things about the program is you can exchange idea with experts at eye level. Whether in short inspirational lectures or half-day course modules, there is always a great discussion based on vivid, real-life examples. This is a kind of emotional learning, not a purely abstract transfer of knowledge, as you know it from other training courses.

    Wiebke Holland-Nell
    Sustainability Manager, Siemens Healthcare GmbH
  • Functional integration, resource conservation, lightweight construction and highly complex component designs – these features characterize additive manufacturing processes. Consequently, additive manufacturing processes are ideal technologies for sustainable and green production. In order to be able to leverage this sustainability potential, an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing processes is essential.

    Professorship Laser-based Additive Manufacturing, TUM School of Engineering and Design
  • By combining different areas of expertise, the certificate program provides a broad, integrated and critical perspective on the diverse aspects of sustainability.

  • Receiving the Christoph Herrlich Scholarship from the TUM EMBA Alumni Association not only helped reduce the cost of my self-funded studies, but also reaffirmed for me the values of community spirit and commitment within the alumni community, of which I am now a proud member.

Through interactions with the other scholarship recipients and the board members of the Alumni Association, I also feel even more connected to the community’s international professional network.

  • 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.

  • It is essential for companies to assess whether the “quantum advantage” provides them with a product advantage and whether the possible “quantum supremacy” may mean that their product’s technical and market conditions must be completely reassessed.

    Prof. Dr. Alexander Holleitner
    Walter Schottky Institute and Physics Department, Chair of Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials, Technical University of Munich
  • Within this program, you get the chance to work with companies and work on your projects, so that you can actually apply the information you learned in the lectures, instead of just studying for exams and putting that information down on paper.

  • The Christoph Herrlich Stipendium was instrumental in enabling my pursuit of the TUM Executive MBA, opening doors that might have otherwise remained closed. Throughout the program, this scholarship not only provided financial support but also fostered a deep sense of connection with the TUM community. Years after graduation, I continue to benefit from the strong network I built during my time at TUM, allowing me to access valuable insights and information across various industries through our tight-knit alumni community.
