TUM Global and Alumni Office (TUM G&A) connects members of the TUM family across disciplinary, institutional, cultural and generational boundaries with each other and with TUM’s international networks in support of TUM’s Mission Statement. In doing so we contribute to TUM’s ambition to serve as a global hub of knowledge exchange.
We develop holistic international partnerships and form strategic alliances with leading teaching and research institutions and their communities worldwide. We do so in close collaboration with TUM’s academic, student, and staff community and by cultivating our alumni’s lifelong relationships with our university. This enables us to measure ourselves against the highest international standards and to create world experiences for all TUM members. Learn more

Guiding principles
- Integrity and equal opportunities: Drawing inspiration from an inclusive community of talents, we actively promote equal access to our services and programs for all TUM members independent of their gender, nationality, religion, worldview, physical ability, age or sexual identity.
- Collegiality and a spirit of partnership: We are guided by a spirit of partnership and respect to all members of the TUM family engaging in international activities and forming life-long networks.
- Excellence and entrepreneurial mindset: We are inspired by innovations in international higher education and advance new formats in cooperation for the next generation of our TUM family. In particular, we strive to explore digitalisation as an enabling tool enhancing the efficiency, scope and reach of our activities. At the same time, we acknowledge the worth and irreplaceability of direct interpersonal contact and effective human relationships.
- Resilience and sustainability: We learn from experience and aim to balance our use of finite communal resources with its expected benefit for the individual and society. In our activities we encourage and incentivize behavior based on this principle.
