The following documents are required for a complete application:
Applicants are required to submit their application via the online application form. This form of application requires in addition to the information about yourself, education, practical experience and your transcripts, an essay assignment. This essay is designed to determine whether you have the skills and knowledge that are pivotal for you to succeed in the MMT programme. If you are unsure whether your study background is eligible for applying to the MMT, you can use the form on our website for free eligibility assessment.
If your application complies with the stated requirements, you will be invited to participate in a (consecutive) two-day online assessment event, normally during June of the respective intake year. On the first selection day, you are required to take a written examination which contains open questions in the areas of both business administration and informatics. During the second selection day, you will have an hour-long oral examination, which consists of a group interview with four candidates. This examination will be held by two professors with a background in business and informatics. You will be accepted to the MMT programme if you pass both the written and the oral examination.
Absence at the selection event automatically leads to a rejection of your application.
In Germany, students can work up to 20 hours per week tax free (employee salary is between 12-25 Euro per hour). This work-type is called "working-student" and applies to any person enrolled at university for a Master's or Bachelor's. It is therefore possible to work along side the Master's programme. Many students do so in IT, consulting or manufacturing industry in Munich.
There are several exclusive resources where MMT students can search and apply for highly attractive jobs and internships, particularly in the Munich area:
The International Office helps visiting academics, PhD students, and postdocs who are travelling to Munich for a set period of time to find accommodation.
