What our Alumni say

  • 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
  • During my 2nd semester of the Master in Management & Innovation, I worked with Schunk GmbH, which was my first experience working in a German company. At Schunk’s R&D lab, I chose the topic which was always close to my heart – automobiles and what the future of mobility would look like. And I learned more than that as I experienced what it is like to work the German way – the sheer will to innovate and the perseverance it takes to constantly be ahead.

    Ankit Chopda
    Graduate of the Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • 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
  • By combining different areas of expertise, the certificate program provides a broad, integrated and critical perspective on the diverse aspects of sustainability. The exchange with learners from a wide range of industries offered interesting discussions and practical examples. I am now perfectly prepared to initiate improvements in the area of sustainability and to find sustainable solutions for customers.

    Dr. Bettina Basel
    Global Segment Manager Mold Making & Sustainability Coordinator Industrial Solutions, Wacker Chemie AG
  • The course provides a good overview of space safety. I am impressed by the carefully selected details and examples provided by the course instructors. I appreciate the well-structured lectures. Thank you!

    Previous Learner
  • The aim of the program is to give an insight into the German expertise and experience in the field of vocational education and training. Students will develop competencies in the design, administration and management of vocational training processes which they will then be able to transfer to their home countries and institutions.

    Theresa Bauer
    Research Assistant at the Professorship for Business, Economics and Vocational Education
  • 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
  • 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 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
  • 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.

    Fabrizio Nisi
    Class of 2023
  • Excellent content and assignments that build on your knowledge, before reinforcing, and then expanding your learning. I recently secured new employment using these skills. Thanks!

    Former Participant in the Specialization
  • Our world is changing and the Internet is the heart of this change. Understanding the Internet also deepened my understanding of the ongoing Digital Transformation. This helps me at work and in my personal life. Thank you!

    Former Participant of the course iLabX
  • 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
  • We convey the technical relationships as well as the responsibility that all those involved along the wood value chain assume if wood is used for modern, efficient, climate-friendly and sustainable construction

    Prof. Dr. Klaus Richter
    Chair of Wood Science, TUM
  • Not only did this specialization teach me the proper techniques of accounting and the different methods of preparing an income statement, it also taught me how to learn independently, how to persevere with a problem to find ways of solving it, and perhaps most significantly, enabled me to continue to develop my accounting skills.

    Former Participant in the Specialization
  • The EMBA program has been extremely beneficial, especially in terms of working alongside other students to solve real-world business challenges related to corporate social responsibility and competitive strategy. This intense and inspiring experience has allowed for a great opportunity to test and practice ideas while also having fun.

    Mario Bott
    Class of 2024
  • 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 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
  • Previous approaches in the area of patient safety have been primarily characterized by reacting to errors in order to avoid them in the future. However, patient safety concerns much more than just avoiding errors and certain complications. Rather, patient safety must be understood as an inherent characteristic of teams and organizations.

    Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Haseneder
    Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Technical University of Munich
  • Fostering and developing the EMBA network is an important value for me. After all, the personal contacts and friendships are one of the most valuable things I got out of my EMBA studies. Therefore, it is only logical for me to get involved in the Alumni Association and to help keep the alumni network alive and active.
