Language Courses

You also have the opportunity to complete language courses and thereby obtain credits (a maximum of 6 ECTS out of a total of 9 ECTS in Electives in General Studies).

• Courses from your study tree: You can take a course at the TUM Language Center. In your study tree in TUMonline you will find courses that can be recognized for your curriculum.
• German course on site: At the TUM Campus Heilbronn, German courses are also offered by external language schools, which you are welcome to attend. However, we cannot accept credits for these courses. Please contact our Student Service Point if you are interested in these courses.
• Courses at the TUM Language Center:
  • You can also independently search for courses at the TUM Language Center and take them. Please note: All language courses at the TUM Language Center - with the exception of English courses of all levels and German courses below B1 level - can be recognized for your curriculum.
  • Please make sure that the courses are feasible for you. This means they should either be online or, if you register for a course in Munich or Garching: it should be logistically possible for you to join them there.
