Please note: You can only register in TUMonline – even after admission, acceptance of a study place and payment of the semester fees – once the Student Admission Office has checked all relevant documents and set them to "ok". A letter symbol in your applicant account means that documents have been received by the Admission Office but have not yet been checked. In this case, please wait until a green tick icon appears.

Precourse documents – Moodle

With the registration you also have access to the Moodle course of the precourse. There you will find all teaching materials and further information about the precourse. Please note that we do not send any material via email.
