What our Alumni say

  • 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
  • The Brewer Cursus was a great success! TUM has highly motivated lecturers who are very passionate about the subjects. The topics were all very interesting. The practical brewing process itself was very hands-on. We brewed in small groups. I was able to take away many tips and tricks for my small brewing operation I am planning to expand.

    Thomas Heim
    Small business owner, microbrewery (Participant Brewer Course 2022/2023)
  • 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
  • Even though I am studying acoustics, this online course was a good addition. It was always very interesting as I was able to dive into some topics a bit deeper than in my previous (non-virtual) courses. My knowledge on some topics became more solid and detailed.

    Former course participant Applications in Communication Acoustics
  • 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 would absolutely go for this program again! Many of the approaches and ideas were immediately useful in my corporate job. Before the Executive MBA, I thought of myself as an intrapreneur. Actually, I never had serious plans to found my own business. This seed was planted in Garching, and the plant is growing: What initially started as my final thesis topic within the program led to founding the medtech start-up Lab E GmbH.

    Carola Epple

  • Whether in the classroom or virtually, our goal is the same – to enable our students to drive forward digitization and the use of new technologies, to build a network in which they can thrive, and to impart proven leadership qualities that will give them the tools they need to position their company sustainably in the marketplace.

    Prof. Krcmar, Founding Dean of the TUM School of Management Campus Heilbronn
    Delegate Officer of the President at the TUM Campus Heilbronn, and Chair of Information Systems at the Department of Informatics
  • 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. After attending the Executive MBA in Business & IT at the TUM, I am confident about engaging in deeper discussions because I now use these newly gained tools.

    Vu Huy Nguyen
    Class of 2019
  • The MOOC is incredibly clear and easy to understand. Everything is fully explained, and the quality is top-notch: the lessons are great, the exercises are great, and the videos are great. I had HTML lessons during my study program before, and I wish I had this kind of course, with this content. Definitely 10/10! Thanks again for the MOOC!

    Previous learner
  • The Double Degree with HEC Paris offers the perfect mix of management theory and practice. The coursework teaches important theories and frameworks, for example identifying trends in the market and creating solutions for these opportunities. Networking during and after my study experience in Paris and Munich was extremely beneficial for both my personal and professional development.

    Lea Sofia Nikiforow
    Graduate Master in Management & Innovation – Double Degree HEC Paris (Class of 2022)
  • Participating in this program stands out as the best highlight in my professional journey. The global network of diverse students, guidance from insightful mentors, and the program’s focus on innovation have profoundly enhanced my professional growth. I extend heartfelt appreciation to my employer, AHK Eastern Africa, for sponsoring my expenses during the contact phases in Germany.

    Esther (Wanjiru) Ndichu
    Senior Project Manager, AHK Services Eastern Africa
  • The Executive MBA in Business & IT enables me to connect, learn, exchange, and grow alongside a group of talented professionals. The exposure to colleagues coming from different industries and working for market leaders is definitely a great opportunity I am benefiting from during my program. I am also able to bring those connections back to work, unveiling synergies on new business opportunities and best practices.

In Talent Booster, we work on precisely these topics: we develop disruptive ideas, train leadership skills, and develop creative business models. This creates an environment in which courage, transformation, and entrepreneurial thinking can be experienced.

    Dr. Katharina Willis, MBA

    Former participant of the course
  • 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.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katrin Wudy
    Professorship Laser-based Additive Manufacturing, TUM School of Engineering and Design
  • It is one of the best-organized MOOCs I have ever had. The instructors made a huge effort to provide material suitable for students from diverse backgrounds. There are required (core) videos suitable for everyone. The quizzes are not just testing your memorization skills (like other courses I had) but are testing your understanding and help you understand the material in-depth!

    Former participant of the course
  • 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.
