Applying for a Student Residence Permit
All international students who wish to stay in Germany for more then three months must have a valid Residence Permit. The Residence Permit must be issued by the Foreigners Registration Authority ("Ausländerbehöre") of your German town/country of residence in accordance with the lenght of time for which your visa is valid.
International Campus Life
Discover a colorful program for international students at TUM: The services offered by International Campus Life provide initial assistance at the beginning of your studies in Munich as well as an extensive cultural program throughout the semester. The program is primarily aimed at international TUM students, but of course German TUM students are always welcome. For further information and registration details please refer to their website.
Accommodation
Since the number of student apartments in Munich is limited, you should take charge of finding a place to stay directly after having been admitted.
Quite a lot of students find accommodation in private flats.

Scholarships
We are not able to offer scholarships to prospective international students.
International students who have successfully studied one semester at Technische Unversität München can apply for the Scholarship for International Students or the Deutschlandstipendium.
All prospective students can apply for a scholarship at Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD).
Student Jobs
Student jobs are available at TUM and to some extent in industry.
For many jobs in industry, some basic proficiency in the German language is required.
Especially at the beginning, it will not be easy to find a job since nobody knows you well.
It is recommended to check out the chairs' research areas and student job offers and to contact the chairs.
See also TUM's information pages about student jobs which also includes information about legal issues for international students and TUM's list of links for student jobs and internships.
