Programme Overview
The International Research Opportunities Programme (IROP) is an exchange programme which takes place over ~8 weeks in the summer from 1st July – 23rd August 2024. Selected undergraduate students work on a research project under the supervision of researchers at Imperial College London. Participants will share the experience with students from other institutions and have the opportunity to explore London and the United Kingdom during the summer. Participants will gain practical research experience in an area of interest whilst experiencing student life at Imperial.
There are a number of IROP places available for TUM students across the Imperial departments below:
Home Department at TUM | Host Department at Imperial |
Chemistry | Chemistry (maximum of 2 places) |
Chemistry | Chemical Engineering (maximum of 1 place) |
Physics | Physics (maximum of 3 places) |
Mathematics | Mathematics (maximum of 3 places) |
Informatics | Computing (maximum of 1 place) |
TUM School of Engineering and Design | Materials (maximum of 1 place) |
TUM School of Life Sciences | Life Sciences (maximum of 2 places) |
Research project
Participants will be matched with a host supervisor at Imperial College London according to interest areas. It is not guaranteed to be matched with a particular supervisor and participants may need to be flexible. Once matched, the research project is planned and carried out independently between the student and supervisor.
Projects will take place on Imperial’s South Kensington or White City campus depending on the research project and host supervisor. The Department of Chemistry is mainly based at White City campus.
Intercultural experience
Students from MIT, the Technical University of Munich, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Cornell University and the University of Toronto will participate in IROP next summer. There will be a social programme, including a welcome afternoon tea, local trip and celebration event, where participants can get to know fellow IROP students and explore London.
Programme dates
Monday 1st July 2024: IROP begins. Orientation session with the IROP Team, followed by lab induction in the department
During IROP: Organised events as part of the social programme
23rd August 2024: IROP ends
Variation to these dates will not be possible.

IROP Tips
Ideal participants will be willing to develop skills in proactivity, organisation and independence, which will support you well in preparing to come to London and make the most of the research project.
Tip from previous participant: ‘To get the most out of the placement requires resilience, adaptability and an open mind as it is probable that things will go wrong or will not be as you had expected. Despite this, I enjoyed every moment of the trip and could not imagine a better way to spend the summer.’

Austausch und Vielfalt erleben mit dem neuen Kulturprogramm des Studierendenwerks München Oberbayern!
Das Veranstaltungsprogramm für das Wintersemester 2023/24 ist da und bietet wieder zahlreiche Gelegenheiten für besondere Freizeitaktivitäten oder etwas Ausgleich neben den Uni-Seminaren und Prüfungen. Denn studieren ist nun einmal mehr als Vorlesungen und Seminare. Studieren heißt auch kreativ werden und neues entdecken. Deshalb laden wir alle Studierenden ein, ihrer Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen, neue Menschen, Orte und Ideen kennenzulernen und sich zu vernetzen.
Es gibt auch dieses Mal wieder verschiedene lockere Formate wie Spieleabende, Stadtspaziergänge durch Münchens unbekannte Ecken oder eine Kleidertauschparty.
Zur persönlichen Weiterentwicklung bieten wir zahlreiche Workshops, unter anderem zu Diskriminierungssensibler Sprache, Zivilcourage oder Alltagssexismus, aber auch zu nachhaltigen Themen wie veganer Ernährung an.
Neue Leute kennenlernen und sich besser Vernetzen können interessierte Studierende hingegen beim Speedfriending oder dem Schnupperskateboardkurs für FLINTA*.
Mit dabei sind selbstverständlich auch in diesem Semester das traditionelle Cultureclubbing, der ComOly sowie verschiedene Tagesausflüge, gemeinsame Ausstellungsbesuche und vieles Mehr.
Des Weiteren bietet das Beratungszentrum sowohl Vorträge rund um Stipendien und Studienfinanzierung als auch Workshops zu Tipps & Tricks für den Unialltag oder Mental Health an.
Zum gesamten Programm geht es hier.

Lots of Contact and Diversity with the new Cultural Programme of the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern!
The Cultural Programme for the 2023/24 Winter Semester has started, once again offering plenty of opportunity to enjoy special leisure activities or a welcome change from seminars and exams at university.
For, after all, studying should be more than attending lectures and seminars. Studying is also about being creative and having new experiences. We therefore want to offer all our students the opportunity to let their creativity run freely, to get to know new people, places and ideas and to get into contact with each other.
As always, there’ll also be a number of relaxing events, such as Games Nights, City Walks through yet unknown parts of Munich or a Clothes Swap Party.
For your personal development, the programme offers numerous workshops, for example on Inclusive Language, “Civil Courage” or Everyday Sexism, but also ones dealing with sustainability, such as Vegan Diet.
Students attending our Speed Friending or First-Try Skateboard Course for FLINTA*, however, have the opportunity to meet and get into contact with new people.
This semester’s programme naturally also includes our traditional Cultureclubbing, the ComOly as well as various day trips, exhibitions and lots more.
Also, the Advice and Counselling Centre is organizing various talks dealing with scholarships or how to finance your studies as well as workshops providing tips concerning your everyday uni life or mental health.
Have a look at the complete programme of events here.
