Information about the BEMP Master's degree program can be found on our website. Here in this Wiki you will find additional information.

Legal Basis of the BEMP Master's degree program

You can find information on the academic and examination regulation in the Academic and Examination Regulations (Fachprüfungs- und Studienordnung): https://academics.nat.tum.de/en/msc/bemp/legal-basis

The most important points are as follows:

You must take all four mandatory modules and at least pass two of the four mandatory modules by the end of the 2nd semester.
Academic progress check (“not more than one year behind“). The credit points have to be from the degree program (no extra courses).
- by the end of the 3rd semester: 30 credit points
- by the end of the 4th semester: 60 credit points
- by the end of the 5th semester: 90 credit points
- by the end of the 6th semester: 120 credit points*
there is only one exemption, if you do not have 120 credit points at the end of the 6th semester, you get a final 7th semester, in which you have to finalize your studies. See FAQ: Academic Progress Check

Please remember that the degree program is intended to have 30 CP per semester. You also can do less or more as you individually like. Please, mind the academic progress check mentioned above.

Language Courses

Registration for the language courses is done via TUMonline. Students who are not yet enrolled can not yet register for courses in TUMonline. However, they can check the Language Center website regularly, some courses may be offered later in the semester.

Students who did not give proof of German language skills will be given the additional requirement to pass at least one module in which they earn German language skills integratively. E. g. this may be fulfilled by a German course of the language center within the general-education subjects. But also other certificates are accepted. The A1.1 level is sufficient. If you like to have the language course also for covering for your general education subject, please register it as a general education subject. It then will be automaticaly also be considered for meeting the requirement. If you register on the requirement knot of TUMonline, then it will not count as a general education subject.

There are different offers for 'German as a Foreign Language'. During the semester as well as block courses in the end of each semester.

Link to the website of the TUM language center: German - Language Center

A1.1 level is sufficient.

In case you do not get a place within one of the courses offered by the TUM language center, you also might have a look for other course offerings like: Deutschkurse bei der Universität München or virtuelle hochschule bayern (last ones should be free of charge)

Access to Libraries

For access to TUM library, please have a look at https://www.ub.tum.de/en

Please note, access to e-media (e-books, e-journals, etc.) from outside the university network is via eAccess (https://login.eaccess.ub.tum.de), for which students need the TUM ID. Without a TUM ID, unfortunately, you can only access e-media with the PCs in the reading rooms of the library.

You can find your TUM ID within your tumonline account!

The e-access is only available after enrolment in the degree program, since media with costs are made available via this access.
