Welcome Meeting for exchange students at TUM Informatics
Our Welcome Meeting for exchange students at TUM Informatics usually takes place the week before the lecture period starts. Make sure to participate, then you will be well prepared for your semester abroad at our university.
For Winter Semester 2023/24, the Welcome Meeting for incoming exchange students is scheduled for Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 1:30 pm, MI Interim I, Audience Hall 2 (at Campus Garching, see "black cube").
The academic calendar of TUM Informatics is defined as follows:
Winter semester: 1st October – 31st March
Lecture period: early/mid October – mid February
Examination period of lectures: early February – early March (may differ in other departments)
(see prospective exam periods of future semesters)
Summer semester: 1st April – 30th September
Lecture period: early/mid April – mid July/early August (differs every year)
Examination period of lectures: mid/end July – early/mid August (may differ in other departments)
(see prospective exam periods of future semesters)
The TUM academic calendar divides our academic year in two semesters. Please consider the different teaching and examination periods of each TUM School/Subject area when planning your exchange stay! Depending on the lecture start, the examination period differs from year to year, in particular with regard to the summer semester. It is crucial that exchange students are present in Munich in time for the very beginning of the lecture period. If possible, arrive earlier.
A regular semester has 30 ECTS credits, for exchange students we recommend a workload of 20-25 ECTS. Please see the section about courses (=lectures, practical courses and seminars) for more information. Practical courses and seminars are examined by project work, presentations and essays respectively during and at the end of the lecture period. In contrast, only lectures are examined by a written exam during the examination period.
