Going abroad

Expand Your Horizon

Gain a lifetime of experience,by spending some time abroad

Spending some time abroad is an excellent way to gain invaluable experience for both your personal and professional life.

It gives you the opportunity to get to know and familiarize yourself with the language, culture, academic and general way of life in your host country.

TUM School of Management offers students a wide range of options for studying and spending time abroad – above all, our own exchange program: TUM SOMex (incl. ERASMUS+).

TUM SOMex (incl. ERASMUS+):

For TUM SOMex (incl. ERASMUS+), TUM School of Management cooperates directly with more than 90 leading business schools and faculties at renowned universities all around the world. The international exchanges organized by our program are exclusive to students of TUM School of Management.

Exchanges with institutions in other European countries (all member states of the European Union plus Turkey, Iceland and Norway) are also part of the ERASMUS+ program. Additionally, we are able to offer exchanges to non-European destinations for example Australia, China, Marocco or Brazil via bilateral partnerships.

Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo, Brasil

I had the most amazing time in Brazil. This country, from which I had a complete different understanding before, took me in its spell. The people and their warm-heartedness fascinated me the most. At this point, my thanks goes out to the International Office who made this exceptional experience possible

QTEM at Monash University, Australia

From the very beginning I was aiming for a semester abroad in Australia. Melbourne is awesome! The city is just pure life. Every week is some kind of festival, event or market, especially in spring and summer time. And if you get sick of the city, there are great hikes and national parks close by. In terms of campus life, there are many events happening each semester such as parties, workshops and other activities. All courses I know about consist of lectures and lab sessions. Everything is less theoretical but more application oriented.
