This form is for those who will be enrolled at TUM as an international exchange student at TUM (via. Erasmus+, TUMExchange) or as an international Degree Seeking student. If you are a TUM Student looking to become a buddy for international students click here.

A new town, a new university, new people: Particularily the first weeks at TUM are not easy for international exchange students. The time-consuming search for an apartment and lack of orientation on the TUM campus are especially demanding for foreign students. Therefore, we have created our buddy program to offer you assistance!

Benifits

Your buddy will be a student enrolled at the department of Mathematics and is a competent adviisor on student issues. They will be able to answer questions related to your studies and on student life in munich, such as:

  • How do I set up my timetable?
  • How do I register for exams?
  • How can I take part in a sports program?
  • Which is the best beer-garden in Munich?

As most of our buddies have spent time abroad themselves, they know how it feels to start somewhere new. They are therefore more than happy to answer all your questions!
