Thesis printing #

Submission form !

In our submission form you will find the following points we need you to elaborate on so we can print your thesis exactly as you want it:

• Number of copies: The required number of copies of your thesis.
• Single-sided or double-sided print: In the case of single-sided printing, the content of your thesis is printed on only the front page of each sheet. This means that every page in your .pdf file correponds to one sheet of paper. When doing double-sided printing, both pages of a sheet have content printed on them. In your .pdf file, odd-numbered pages will be printed on the front of the sheet, and even-numbered pages on the back.
• Spine labelling: The spine labelling is printed onto the spine, i.e. the part of the book that is visible when it is placed on the shelf. The standard labelling consists of your name (on the bottom), the title of the thesis (in the middle) and the year (on top).
• Name: Your name as it will be printed onto the spine.
• Title: The title of the thesis as it will appear on the spine.
• Cover sheet: The type of paper that envelops your printed thesis. Normally, we use transparent film for the front and black carton for the back. If your chair requires you to use a certain cover colour, or you simply want your thesis to have a differently coloured cover, we will gladly take your wishes into account. Please note that use of the so-called “LNT blue” cover is only permitted if you write your thesis at the institute for communications engineering.
• Thesis bound for pickup: Please let us know if we can already bind your thesis or if there are pages (such as task description pages provided by your chair) that have to be inserted first.
• Invoice address: To get your request processed, you need to provide your invoice address.
• Invoice: Yes/No. If you want to receive an Invoice.
• Recipient address: If you want your thesis to be sent via post or TUM intern post.
• Phone number: Only needed for short inquiries in case there are issues with your thesis.
• Deadline: The date by which you have to submit your thesis. Please bear in mind that we need 1 to 2 workdays to print and bind your thesis and that at least one faculty student council member needs to be present at the office for you to pick it up.
• Pick up: Please choose, if you want to pick up your thesis yourself (possible from July 19th, 2021), or if you want it to be sended to you or your chair. You can find further information here .

Please don’t forget to include a .pdf file of your thesis in your mail. If it is too large, you can upload it to a web space (e.g. the LRZ Sync+Share) and send us a download link instead.

We do not accept USB drives!

You can find the link to the submission form Submission form ! We will send you a mail once your printing job is ready for pickup. Please read our information concerning thesis printing before sending your documents. We do not assume liability for misprints caused by inobservance of our guidelines!

Additional information #

Spine labelling: We can print text onto the spine if the thesis has a thickness of 3mm or more. This corresponds to a thesis of 30 pages (for single-sided printing) or 60 pages (for double-sided printing). If your thesis has less content than that, we will not label the spine. Please include your full name and the title of your thesis in your mail; it will be printed exactly as you send it. We assume no responsibility for typos in your mail that get printed onto the thesis.

Type of print: Depending on the type of print job (single-sided or double-sided) there are different things that need to be taken into account. When doing single-sided printing, you should avoid having empty pages in your document, as that would result in an empty sheet in your thesis. On the other hand, if you are printing on both sides and want one page to stay empty, you’ll need to include it in your document in advance. If your page numbering is not centered on each page, you should pay attention that the page numbers are aligned properly. An odd-numbered page number corresponds to the front page on a printed sheet, so the page number should be on the right (and vice versa).

Layout: Our printer cannot do marginless printing. Therefore, make sure that there is enough space between the content and the page margins (at least 5mm, we recommend 10mm). On the page border where the binding is applied to, i.e. the inner side of each page, you should leave a security margin of at least 20mm.

Images and diagrams Generally, your images should have a resolution of 300 dpi so they won’t be pixelised when they are printed. The upper bound for resolution is fixed by the printer, whose highest resolution is at 600 dpi. Therefore, we do not recommend to export images in higher resolution than that - in the best case, you just won’t see the difference, in the worst case, our printer driver won’t be able to process the image. The same applies to Tikz graphs with too many sample points.

Data format: We only print unprotected .pdf files. Ideally, they should comply with the PDF/X-3:2002 standard, but the most important requirement is that all fonts are embedded in the document. We do not accept Word documents (.doc/.docx) or LaTeX files (.tex)!

Pickup and Delivery #

Pick up at our office : It is possible at any time if our office is occupied. To ensure this, please announce yourself by phone at 089/289-22998.

Delivery : We can send your thesis directly to your chair. Please talk to your supervisor in this case and ask him if this is possible and how many copies are needed at your chair.

New Lab Course: Academic Energy Cooperative @ TUM - Project NEIbourhood Neuperlach

New Lab Couse: Academic Energy Cooperative @ TUM - Project NEBourhood Neuperlach

Energy cooperatives have proven successful throughout Germany and other countries. These initiatives, driven by citizen engagement, significantly promote the local transition to sustainable renewable energy. At TUM, we have a unique framework to use the possibilities of an academic energy cooperative. Students, researchers, staff, and professors can contribute their different fields of expertise and apply it in practical ways. As a vibrant community, we can bring together the right people to extend the concept of energy cooperatives beyond rapid transformation towards a sustainable energy system - and connect it to teaching, research, and entrepreneurship by providing a space for practical application and proof-of-concept studies.

You will be part of the EU-funded NEBourhood project, which works on developing neighborhood concepts for better and sustainable coexistence. This project lab will focus on the aspect of decentralized local energy production and supply based on photovoltaics. Two roof areas are already available for this purpose.

Topics to be worked on are:

• Site analysis with regard to the power generation potential via PV
• Analysis of the structural and building law requirements for the installation of the PV systems
• Technical design of PV systems, incl. comparative analysis of available solar panels in technological, ecological, and economic terms

In addition, you will get in contact with the overall activities within the founding process of the Academic Energy Cooperative @ TUM, training also relevant interdisciplinary skills.

This topic is intended for MSC-PE students only. The setting will be a PorpENS project lab: https://www.epe.ed.tum.de/en/ens/teaching/practical-courses/propens/ .

Due to the short notice, there is no regular registration for this course via TUMonline. If you are interested in participating in the winter semester of 2023/24 please contact asap [email protected] or your semester representative.

China Expertise Program

https://www.sprachenzentrum.tum.de/en/sz/languages/chinese/china-expertise-program/

  Research Internship (12 ECTS Credits)

The research internship is intended to prepare students for their later scientific activities in research and development by providing them with insight into current research topics during their master studies. The research internship takes the form of project work. Each student in the master program works on an individual project assigned by a professor/supervisor from the respective chair within the scope of the research internship. Upon successful completion of the internship students will be able to draw up (apply learned concepts) and plan a project with an engineering character, to define milestones, as well as to document the progress and results of the project and to present them to an audience.

The research internship covers 12 credits, corresponding to 9 weeks of full-time work. The module may be spread across several blocks of time within a maximum period of half a year. If the internship is divided into blocks, all supervised by the same examiner, a single report of completion of the research internship in the amount of 12 ECTS can be issued at the end of the semester. Absences (e.g. due to illness) of more than three days must be made up.

The research internship has to be carried out under the supervision of a TUM expert examiners . F or MSC-PE these are all university professors, lecturers and junior fellows who teach a Core Module or a listed Elective Module. Furthermore, the following professors are nominated as expert examiners for MSC-PE by the Examination Board:  Prof. Kreupl, Prof. Alexander Koch, Prof. Lienkamp, Prof. Wen, Prof. Zäh, Prof. Armanini, Prof. Oksanen, Prof. Rudolf Neu, Prof. Daub.

The student must independently seek a place for a research intership and supervision by a TUM expert examiner. There is no allocation of places arranged by the study office.

The student together with his professor/supervisor draws up a work plan defining project objectives, methods and schedule of completion. The supervisor has to send the Research Intership - Registration to the email mentioned on the form.

Upon completion of the project, the student has to write a report and hold a presentation regarding the results of the project. The length and formal requirements of the report and presentation are not specified in the academic and examination regulations of the degree program (FPSO), but defined by the professor. The research internship is completed on a pass/fail basis without a grade.

The supervisor will send the Research Intership - Confirmation form reporting the completion of the research internship directly to the email mentioned on the form. Only this form will be kept by the office. Other documents concerning the research internship, such as written work, presentations or other proofs of work, remain with the professor.

Failed or not completed research internship modules should be reported to the MSC-PE examination board. The module can be repeated as often as necessary.

 Conducted at an External Institution:

As with the thesis module, the research internship may be completed externally at a research institution or a research-oriented department of a company, provided the  research character of the project work is maintained. If you would like to carry out the research internship in industry or an external institution , you must find a MSC-PE TUM expert examiner who will supervise the internship and give a final grade of "pass" or "fail". Please contact the professors directly on your own. The professor has to agree to the supervision of external projects and draw up a work plan together with the student before starting the external research internship.

Especially if it is conducted as an external internship in industry and it should not count as working days in terms of the "120 full days or 240 half day rule" (see below), the research internship cannot be carried out less than full-time. However, the module may be spread across several blocks of time within a maximum period of half a year.

If you are not a citizen of the European Union or European Economic Area and are aiming for an industrial internship longer than the nine weeks, please note that you may not work more than 120 full days or 240 half days in addition to the mandatory nine-week research internship without permission  ( https://www.internationale-studierende.de/en/footer-english/service/links-and-downloads#c2496 ).

If you cannot complete the external internship in the lecture-free period alone, you have the option of applying for a leave of absence .

 Recognition of previous work as a research internship

The MSC-PE FPSO provides in §37a (3) the possibility of recognition of successfully completed research projects or equivalent achievements as research practice. The decision lies with the MSC-PE Examination Board.

• Work completed within the scope of a Bachelor or Master degree program that is a prerequisite for admission to the master program MSC-PE cannot be recognized toward the research internship.
• Work or activities within the scope of a student job held during the master program cannot be later recognized toward the research internship.

In exceptional cases , periods of employment after the bachelor degree and before commencement of the master program may be acknowledged as research internship, provided that the employment encompassed research activities at a research-oriented institution. Students seeking to have employment activities recognized toward fulfillment of the research internship should contact the master examination board. Recognition is only possible if the items on the following  "checklist" can all be answered with "yes":

• Was the duration of the activity at least three months, of which at least nine weeks were pure research activities (full-time, correspondingly longer in the case of part-time work)?
• Was the research activity started after completion of the Bachelor's or Diploma program (the date of the certificate is relevant)?
• Was the research activity completed before the start of the MSC-PE (the date of first enrollment is relevant)?
• Can a job reference be submitted which states the duration, scope, type of activity and an assessment?
• Can the activity be described in the form of a scientific manuscript of at least 10 pages with the following sections:
• Author, course of studies, student’s ID
• State of the art (with at least 10 references to scientific publications - conference proceedings or journal articles - no manuals, operating instructions, application notes or similar!)
• Applied scientific methods and procedures (with at least 5 references to scientific publications conference proceedings, journal articles or textbooks - no manuals, operating instructions, application notes, etc.!)
• Results and progress achieved beyond the state of the art

If these requirements are met, the recognition can be applied for by sending an informal application to [email protected] . The following documents must be attached to the email as a pdf scan:

• Bachelor's or diploma certificate
• Proof of first enrollment MSC-PE
• Job reference
• Scientific manuscript, as described in more detail above

Master Thesis (30 Credits)

The six-month Master Thesis concludes the MSC-PE Program and it has to be carried out at a chair of TUM expert examiners . For MSC-PE these are all university professors, lecturers and junior fellows who teach a Core Module or an Elective Module. Furthermore, the following professors are nominiated as expert examiners for MSC-PE by the Examination Board: Prof. Kreupl, Prof. Alexander Koch, Prof. Lienkamp, Prof. Wen, Prof. Zäh, Prof. Armanini, Prof. Oksanen, Prof. Rudolf Neu, Prof. Daub.

If you would like to conduct your Master Thesis at an external institution (e.g. chair of a professor not listed as a MSC-PE TUM expert examiner, external research institute or company), this can only be done in agreement and cooperation with one of the above-mentioned MSC-PE TUM expert examiners , who will then be the official topic provider and will carry out the grading of the Master Thesis. The topic of the thesis should be related to the field of power engineering. Please identify and contact the corresponding officially supervising professor or chair by your own and in a timely manner. Please note: We at TUM are not involved in contractual matters between you and the external institution.

Please also note possible offers for master theses under Master Thesis Offers .

Students can start the master thesis if they have passed 65 credits from "Power Engineering Moduls" (Core Modules, Elective Modules, Laboratories, Seminar) plus the research internship .

If a student, for reasons beyond his or her control, is prevented from submitting the thesis within the first six-month deadline, the Examination Committee will extend the period for writing the thesis by a maximum of 3 month provided that the student applied for an extension prior to the first deadline and obtained the supervisor’s approval. If a student is able to prove, by a medical certificate, that he/she is prevented from writing the thesis due to illness, the deadline will be suspended.

In those exceptional cases, the TUM supervisor (not student!) must send an email to [email protected] stating the duration as well as the reason for the extension in addition to the consent.

You must submit the written document of your Master Thesis 6 months (if extension granted, accordingly later) after the "Date of issue of the Master Thesis" indicated on the registration form. The oral presentation can take place later.

After completion of the thesis, the document Master Thesis - Submission has to be filled and submitted in the manner and to the email address mentioned on the form.

The archiving of the Master Thesis is done at the chair where the thesis was written according to its rules. It is not necessary to submit a version (either electronic or hard copy) to the Study & Teaching Office.

Before registering, please check carefully whether you really meet the credit requirements for registering for the master thesis (see above) and whether these are correctly displayed in your TUMonline account. Please note that for MSC-PE a confirmation from the program management to you or your supervisor that you fulfill the requirements for the registration for the master thesis is not foreseen.

Registration can be done at any time of the year.

The entire administrative process will take place in the ED portal at https://portal.ed.tum.de/en/ : (Please note: Nothing will change for theses already registered with a start date before August 5, 2024. No data from ongoing theses can be imported into the ED portal. If your thesis is already registered, please submit it in the usual way.)

• You look for a chair that will supervise your thesis and agree on a topic for the thesis.
• The supervising chair registers your thesis in the ED portal.
• You will receive an email about the registration with a link to the ED portal and have to confirm the registration there.
• The School Office, in consultation with the Examination Board, will review the thesis registration and you will receive approval or rejection by email.
• You work on the agreed project and prepare the written thesis.
• Upload the written thesis to the ED portal at the latest on the submission deadline and confirm the final submission. Depending on your degree program, you may also have to write an exposé and/or give a presentation on your thesis. You arrange the date for the presentation directly with the supervising chair.
• The examiners will evaluate your thesis in the ED portal and you will be informed about the grade by email.

If you wish to return the topic of your thesis during the thesis period or need to apply for an extension or suspension of the thesis, you can also do this via the ED portal. To do this, log in to the portal and select the corresponding option in the respective thesis.

Detailed description of the process can be found in the wiki at  https://collab.dvb.bayern/display/TUMedschooloffice/Final+Theses+in+the+ED-Portal?showLanguage=en_GB .

If you have any technical problems, please contact  [email protected]

If the master thesis was the last achievement of your studies, please refer to the information at  End of Study below.

 Academic-legal basics

The legal basics regarding the master thesis are fixed here:

General Academic and Examination Regulations → §18

Fachprüfungs- und Studienordnung ( FPSO )  → §46

Course Scheduling

Course schedule.

In principle, all modules in the MSC-PE program are electives. Therefore, within limits, you can freely compose the modules according to your interests. There is no predefined study plan. You must or may put together your own study plan with the help of the module descriptions.

However, at the beginning of the program, it is recommended to focus on completing the core modules first.

Upon request and in cooperation with the students, focus areas were identified to deepen specific knowledge. These are

• "Power Generation" (PG)
• "Power Storage" (PS)
• "Power Economics" (PE)
• "Power IT" (PIT)

In order to simplify the selection of modules in this respect, the modules that students consider particularly relevant for the individual focus groups are marked in the lists accordingly (bold --> particularly suitable; normal --> well suited). This labeling is reviewed at regular intervals with the student representatives to ensure that it is up to date.

Please note that this is only non-binding information and not a sign of quality. Modules that are not labeled are equally suitable for the design of the individual curriculum.

Please also note that a focus in the sense of a specialization is not explicitly mentioned in the final document, but only indirectly results from the modules listed on the certificate.

Registration for courses and exams

Registering for courses is only possible after the start of the respective semester and after you have been completely enrolled . 

Although for many lecture-based courses registration is not mandatory to attend the lectures, registration is strongly recommended to get full access to the corresponding Moodle course where relevant documents for the course are provided.

Important note: Registering for the course is not sufficient to be registered for the exam! You must register separately for the exam!

The main location for courses is Garching.

Teaching format

The TUM is aiming to offer lectures in presence again from the start of the summer semester 2022. Often, the lecture is additionally offered in parallel in a digital format as an online lecture or video recording. However, the format provided is a decision of the lecturer and may be subject to change. Therefore, please inform yourself via the module description or by contacting the person responsible for the module in which format the respective course is offered.

Schedule conflict

In general, there is no mandatory attendance for courses at TUM. In the case of courses that are also available as video recordings, you therefore have the option of choosing these even if there is a schedule conflict with another course and then learning the content in self-study on a time-shifted basis. There are usually no schedule conflicts with the examination dates.

Selection of modules outside of the MSC-PE module list

In general, for your MSC-PE curriculum, you are not allowed to take courses outside the MSC-PE module list displayed in this wiki. The exception to this is the Interdisciplinary Modules, where you choose modules that are not part of the MSC-PE.

You are of course free to take courses without counting them towards your MSC-PE degree. They will then be shown as additional courses on your degree certificate.

Questions regarding specific modules

If you have any questions or problems (e.g. regarding contents, registration, exams) related to a specific module, please contact the respective person responsible for the module. You can usually find this person in the module description in TUMonline (bottom of the page) or on the homepage of the corresponding chair.

Bringing in / recognition of other modules

The list of modules is binding for the selection. There is no general possibility to bring in modules other than those listed.

Since the MSC-PE modules are elective modules, in general it is also not possible to recognize modules from the previous bachelor degree program with which you applied for the MSC-PE program . For modules taken in a degree program other than the bachelor's degree program with which you applied for MSC-PE, or for courses that were not directly credited towards your Bachelor's degree, an equivalency check with MSC-PE modules must be performed.

Please contact us to check the individual case.

Extra credits

If you have earned more credits for a particular module group than are assigned for the module group, the total number of credits for that module group will be reduced to the number of credits assigned for that module group. 

Credit of additional Core Modules

You can take more than the required 4 Core Modules Electrical Engineering and 4 Core Modules Mechanical Enginieering. In this case, the additional core modules are brought in as Elective Modules .

Extra modules

If you have successfully completed more module exams than are required for the master's degree, they will be listed on an extra certificate that will be attached to the final degree certificate. Furthermore, these additional modules may replace passed modules in the same category or in the "Interdisciplinary Modules" category (e.g., to improve the overall grade) as long as they meet the specific requirements of that module category. This adjustment is made at the request of the student at the end of the program before the final graduation documents are prepared.

Crediting of modules from study exchange programs abroad

In general, only those modules that correspond to an MSC-PE module in terms of content can be credited. Exeption: For the block „Interdisciplinary modules” the choice is free and also non-MSC-PE modules can be brought in.

Failure of exams

In case of failure of exams (also due to non-attendance of exams without deregistration), they can be repeated several times. There is no limit to the number of retakes in MSC-PE as long as the deadlines of the academic progress control are met.

Failed exams do not affect the overall grade.

There is no obligation to take the repeat exam directly at the next opportunity. However, in the case of elective modules (all MSC-PE modules belong to the category of elective modules), the examiner is not obliged to offer a repeat exam more than once. This may be the case, for example, if lecture content has changed or the module has been dropped entirely. In addition, the examiner may decide to change the format of the repeat exam (written vs. oral).

If there is no possibility of a repeat exam, the module must be taken again or another module must be chosen.

Grade improvment

Passed exams cannot be retaken for grade improvement.

End of Study / Disenrollment

Final grading and additional moduls.

The overall grade is calculated as the weighted grade average of all modules (except Research Internship and Interdisciplinary Modules) and the Master's Thesis. The grade weights of the individual modules correspond to the assigned credits.

If you have taken and passed additional modules, they will be listed on the Diploma Supplement and will not count toward the calculation of your final grade. If you would like to include these modules in the calculation of your final grade instead of other modules, please let us know before you apply for your final degree certificates.

Before final grading of your Master Thesis

If you need a confirmation before the final grading of your Master Thesis that you have completed all the requirements and will finish the studies in a timely manner (e.g. for a future employer or to apply for a work visa), please ask your supervisor to send a statement to [email protected] confirming that the Master's thesis meets the requirements of a pass. 

After final grading of your Master Thesis

If you have completed all your degree requirements and any additional courses you may have taken in the last semester, please send us an email to [email protected] with a confirmation that all courses are listed correctly in the TUMonline grade report (titles, credits, etc.). We will then initiate the issuing of the final graduation documents. Here you can find information about the Final Graduation Documents .

If you need a preliminary certificate after the final grading (e.g. to apply for a work visa), please refer to the relevant chapter at the aforementioned link. To apply for this preliminary certificate please fill the form Request for postal delivery of preliminary degree certificate – Campus Munich and send it as a signed pdf document to TUM CST/Graduation Office and Academic Records at campus Garching.

If you need a verification of your TUM degree or a confirmation of study data please refer to this  link .

Disenrollement

Generally, you need to remain enrolled until you have taken your last exam. For the final thesis , enrollment is mandatory until submission . For all other exams , you do not have to re-enroll if you take an examination which is allocated to the previous semester  within the first week of the lecture period . This also applies to the obligatory presentation as part of the thesis .

You will be disenrolled at the end of the semester in which you passed your last required module. You may also still take additional courses and complete exams up to the time of exmatriculation. If you would like these courses to be included in the final graduation documents, please make sure by notifying the MSC-PE management that your degree certificate is not issued until the end of the semester so that we can adjust the relevant courses accordingly.

For questions regarding reimbursment of previously paid semester fees , please contact  [email protected] .

Graduation Ceremony

If you need an invitation letter for inviting relatives and guests, please fill in your personal details in this  invitation letter template and send it to [email protected] for signature.

The date of the postmark counts.

Submission regulations - Only for theses starting before 15.01.2024

• the thesis must be submitted on the 15th of the month, or the next working day if the 15th is a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday
• early submission is possible
• Submit one paper copy at the Academic Programs Office - Informatics
• Submit one copy to your examiner (please clarify with your examiner how to submit this copy)
• You may also wish to give one copy to the departmental library and one copy to the supervisor, but this is not compulsory.

If a final thesis has been approved as a group paper in consultation with the examiner in the sense of §18 Para. 2 of the APSO, each author must nevertheless submit a separate copy of the thesis with his or her own affidavit. The individual assignment of the examination performance to be evaluated should be clearly evident from the work. On the cover page and the spine only the name of the student submitting this copy should be written. On the first page, all authors can be listed under "Authors".

If you are unable to meet the submission deadline of your thesis for valid reasons for which you are not responsible, you can submit an application for an extension of the thesis to the Examination Board.

The application must be submitted immediately to the secretary responsible for your degree program, by email from your TUM account. If possible, please fill in and sign the form digitally. Medical certificates also have to be submitted in original (by post). The processing time after submission of all documents is usually two weeks, and you will be notified of the Examination Board's decision.

Applications can generally be divided into two categories:

1) Health reasons

If you are ill and can prove by a certificate that you are prevented from working on your thesis, the processing time is suspended. In the Department of Informatics, this is represented by an extension of your submission deadline. A medical certificate must be enclosed with the application in original. A certificate of incapacity for work is not sufficient. You can find the requirements for a certificate on the website  Withdrawing from Examinations – Medical Certificates .

Request for an Extension for Health Reasons

2) Other reasons

In cases of delays due to other valid reasons for which you are not responsible, the submission deadline of your thesis may be extended in exceptional and particularly justified cases in agreement with the thesis examiner and with the approval of the Examination Board. Please enclose a detailed justification (if possible with supporting documents) with your application.

Request for an Extension for Other Reasons

Completing your Studies

Release of final certificate.

Please contact the secretary of the Examination Board of your study program via e-mail for the release of your Bachelor's degree documents when all grades have been entered and validly set. For enrollment in consecutive Master's programs in Informatics at TUM, the following applies: From mid-September and mid-March respectively, the graduation will be reported directly to the Enrollment Office after the release of the transcripts, so that the graduation documents are no longer necessary for enrollment.

Graduation documents and preliminary certificates

Please be aware that graduation documents and preliminary certificates can only be issued when all grades in TUMonline (including the thesis) are validated. Certificates for students of the Faculty for Informatics  are issued by the  Graduation Office and Academic Records Campus Garching  exclusively,  after approval by the Examination Board . Please contact the  Secretary of the Examination Board of your study program  as soon as all your grades are validated. (Responsible Secretary of the Examination Board: see section "Contact" on the webpage for your study program)

Transition Bachelor – Master

If you enroll for a consecutive Master's program at the Department of Informatics after your Bachelor's degree, we will forward your bachelor's degree to the Admissions and Enrollment Office for enrollment (not for the application!). The graduation documents are therefore not necessary for enrollment. A green checkmark will then appear in the online application portal for your degree certificate and diploma. Please note that it may take a few days until the documents are updated in the portal. If you do not see these two green check marks 1 week before the enrollment deadline, please contact the secretary of the examination board as soon as possible.

Please find more information under  graduation .

Information on Degree Program

Program profile.

The master's program in Power Engineering deepens students' previous knowledge of energy technologies. Students are able to understand innovative methods, technologies and structures in the area of centralized and decentralized power generation. The aim is to develop and apply strategies for ecological, inexpensive and sustainable energy systems.  

As a graduate you are able to deal independently with complex projects in the area of power generation and supply. You are familiar with power plant construction and technologies and are able to interface with all associated disciplines. You know the most important processes and methods relating to power generation, energy storage and transmission and can classify and assess these. Your expertise allows you to recognize innovations in the area of electrical power supply and to evaluate their potential.

When at work you are always conscious of the technical, ecological and economic dimensions of energy systems. You understand the competitive energy market and are able to apply economic assessment methods. Working in project teams, you assume responsibility and coordinate interdisciplinary cooperation between various specialized areas.

The completion of the master's program opens up opportunities in the energy and power plant sectors. You are able to take up positions in the manufacture of both power plants and components, as well as at energy suppliers. Further opportunities arise in the form of research positions.

Program structure

In addition to furthering core competencies in the areas of mechanical and electrical engineering, the master's program in Power Engineering offers students considerable freedom of choice. Modules are complemented by practical research. 

• In the first semester, students' previous knowledge of various disciplines is deepened through core modules in the area of electrical and mechanical engineering. 
• The second and third semesters are devoted to the deepening of specialist knowledge and to an individual focus in the context of elective modules. This phase also includes practical research, where students collaborate on current projects conducted at a teaching or research institute. A seminar deepens the knowledge acquired from the modules and offers a further opportunity to focus on a special topic of research.Students can also supplement their management competencies and self-development through modules from outside the discipline.
• The fourth semester is devoted to the master's thesis, where the accrued knowledge of the discipline and its methods converge in the handling of a major task.
• Program structure: Overview of modules

Admission process

Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.

In stage 1 of the aptitude assessment procedure,  there is a difference between applicants who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” and those who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention”.

Applicants for the Master's program in Power Engineering who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” have to provide evidence of a successful participation in a TUM Test Power Engineering, graded with a point system.

For applicants for the Master's program in Power Engineering who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” , the grades obtained during the Bachelor's program and the Transcript of Records will be evaluated using a point system.

Depending on the amount of points accumulated , applicants are either immediately admitted , rejected , or invited to an interview .

Exchange programs at TUM

A study stay at TUM offers you a unique and unforgettable experience! Exchange programs such as Erasmus+, SEMP, TUMexchange, and the departmental programs of the various faculties enable you to spend up to two semesters at TUM. Discover our wide range of international partnerships, get to know your contacts, and learn more about the application process.

How it works

• Check with your home university whether there is an exchange agreement with TUM. Alternatively, you can use our database to determine whether your home university is one of TUM's partners and which departments are involved in the agreement.
• Apply to your home university following the conditions and deadlines. In the first step, the respective home university is responsible for applications, selecting its students, and nominating them for TUM.
• In the second step, TUM processes all nominations received, informs the home universities and the nominated students, and invites them to apply. Please make sure to follow TUM's conditions and deadlines.
• The relevant departments will then check your application documents. If your subject-specific knowledge matches the departments of the TUM Schools, you will be accepted and granted admission.
