Munich as a Place to Study
Technology, talent and tolerance defi ne how attractive
a city is – but also a city`s productivity and wealth. The
city of Munich with its 1,3 million inhabitants is one of the
leading cities in this respect, both in terms of the estab-
lishment of technology intensive companies, the number
of patents as well as the number of people working in
the creative industry or at universities. Munich is also
the home of several architecture and design companies.
Munich is located on the river Isar north of the Bavarian
Alps and is the third largest city in Germany. The Herald
Tribune voted Munich the “most liveable city in the world:
A winning combination of investment in infrastructure,
high-quality housing, low crime, liberal politics, strong
media and general feeling of Gemütlichkeit make it a city
that should inspire others.”

Research & Development
With about 100 ongoing doctoral theses and more than
100 research projects during the last three years the
Faculty of Architecture is strong in research.
Through application-oriented research at the chair for
Climatic Design and Building Services, the Faculty of
Architecture has developed the concept of ClimaDesign.
This holistic approach coordinates a building’s structure,
its façade and building services engineering. Research
areas include energy-optimised planning and building,
façade planning, innovative ventilation engineering, fi re
protection and lighting systems.
The technical and constructional development of shells is
of great importance for a building’s energy balance. The
Faculty of Architecture is therefore establishing a new
research unit in Technology and Design for Shell Cons-
tructions. The unit fi ts well into the long tradition of buil-
ding technology research by TUM Emeritus of Excellence
Prof. Dr. Thomas Herzog.
Holistic planning begins on a social and municipal level.
The seven chairs for urbanism at TUM run the affi liated
research group ‘urban land scape‘ on Zwischenstadt,
urban landscapes and agglomeration research.
The newly established chair for Industrial Design deals
with ecological challenges of mass production. The focus
on universal design explores processes of demographic
changes within our societies.
The teaching and research unit for Timber Construction
analyses renewable resources and composite materials
for integrating them into the design process in coopera-
tion with the strong bavarian timber industry and TUM
faculties of engineering.
From 2009, the new Oskar von Miller Forum will additio-
nally support activities of the Faculty by providing a guest
house and event venue, which is donated by the Bavarian
Construction Association.

Work Environment
Students benefi t from a professional work environment in
Munich’s city centre. Friendly student service and intensi-
ve mentoring during projects are an important foundation
of the programme. The teaching and research facilities
of the Faculty, which also include the studios, are spread
over an area of 11.600 sqm. Several work stations are
also provided by the Faculty.
The Technical Centre provides direct access to the metal,
wood and plastic workshops for making models and pro-
totypes including 3D printers and laser cutters. Additional
work and research stations are provided, for instance,
through the CAAD-laboratory, solar station, fi re control
lab, climate laboratory, restoration lab or foto labs. All
toois and computers required for successful studies are
available for lending at the service-pool.
Each year the Faculty of Architecture welcomes its fresh-
man students in the studio “Weißer Saal” which offers a
great view of the Alps.

Bachelor and Master of Arts in Architecture TUM
As part of the Bologna Process all universities in Europe
are currently switching to Bachelor and Master degrees
based on the idea that academic qualifi cations will then
become more comparable.
The Faculty of Architecture TUM has established a bache-
lor degree of 4 years duration followed by several different
Master degrees of 2 years duration. The academic qualifi -
cation will be a Bachelor and Master of Arts (Dipl.-Ing.) in
Architecture.
The course in Architecture at the TUM conveys basic
knowledge of skills and techniques, that are quintessential
to the fi eld of activities of architects. At the same time the
study programme sees itself as an instrument to develop
the students‘ skills to comprehend fundamental and com-
plex problems, to extend these questions and methods of
resolution from other disciplines. In more concrete terms,
students should be qualifi ed to identify problems within
their own discipline as well as within the multidisciplinary
environment of the TUM, to analyse these and provide so-
lutions, to use a clear scientifi c approach and to commu-
nicate the results of their work convincingly.
Through the collaboration of the four institutes of the
Faculty of Architecture TUM students are instructed using
a holistic approach in dealing with complex systems, star-
ting from the theoretical concept and its cultural back-
ground, the allocation and dimensions of technical and
spatial components, up to usability and appearance of
the technical object ‘building’. The management of energy
resources of buildings, the extent to which the building
can be recycled as well as the development and design
of building components and systems are growing fi elds of
work in the building process. On societal as well as urban
and regional planning levels, questions of sustainability
are successively expanded beyond the building through
important future topics such as climate, mobility and
energy cycles.
The principle of the study programme is teaching guided
by research. With responsibility for the built environment,
students should be qualifi ed to act in an entrepreneurial
way and to resume leading positions in planning proces-
ses.
In order to provide students with the necessary qualifi ca-
tion to become actors in future international markets, an
integrated one year study abroad at one of our partner
universities across the world is a mandatory part of the
bachelor programme.

Bachelor Degree Programme - Description
The bachelor programme in architecture is a 4 year full-
time degree. The fi rst 2 years (4 semesters) provide a
general foundation in the methodology of architectural
design as well as in the disciplines of science & technolo-
gy and humanities & social sciences. These subjects are
largely compulsory.
The core subjects of design, urbanism, construction, his-
tory and theory, visual arts, CAAD amongst others will be
taught in 20 contact hours per semester. Design plays a
very central role which is expressed through project work
(6 contact hours) coupled with a design charette. This
project block is in turn supported by thematically related
lectures and seminars.
As a general rule, students in their third year will study
abroad for 1 academic year at one of TUM’s partner uni-
versities. The International Relations Team of the Faculty
of Architecture will advise and assist the students in their
choice of partner university. In order not to overburden
students during their study abroad, they are required to
participate in courses giving them a minimum of 20 credit
points in total. Each partnership with a university is
based on an agreement which specifi es the number of
exchange students and the possible duration of their
stay. The study curricula of each of the partners will also
be coordinated with the study programme of the Faculty
of Architecture TUM.
In year 4 of the bachelor programme the acquired know-
ledge will be deepened and widened. In the 7th semester
students will be able to choose at which chair they would
like to complete their fi nal project, as the different chairs
will be focusing on different topics. The remaining sub-
jects are comprised of compulsory core electives, which
will allow students a certain personal specialisation. In
the fi nal semester students will have to complete their ba-
chelor thesis which is followed by an oral examination.
With this four year bachelor degree the students are
allowed to apply to register with the Chamber of
Architects.

development goals of the Munich Faculty of Architecture,
which was founded in 1868. The Faculty of Architecture
is looking to establish privileged partnerships with other
international universities, who have a similar spectrum of
courses and content.

International Competitiveness
The European and global network is constantly growing
and in light of this development education should incre-
asingly be seen in an international context. There is a
growing demand within the job market for internationally
qualifi ed academics. Thus, students with qualifi cations
with an international outlook will have a noticeable advan-
tage in the job market.
When choosing a location to study, the internationalisa-
tion of a programme is more and more factored into the
decision, and infl uences the attractiveness of a location.
The Faculty of Architecture would thus like to extend its
competitiveness beyond the borders of Germany to the
international fi eld. A newly created International Relations
Offi ce at the Faculty is actively pursuing this goal.
Tuition
Current tuition fees for full-time students at TUM are
€500 per semester. TUM has agreements with partner
universities that no tuition fees will be charged by recei-
ving university.
