Research stays for international students

International students have various options to come to TUM for short-term research stays. For example, you can enroll as a Practical Project Student at a TUM chair or write your thesis in whole or in part at TUM. Your stay at TUM can also be funded through programs, such as Erasmus+ and Fulbright, available through your home university. Students from selected universities in North America and from the Imperial College London are furthermore offered the summer program TUM PREP for a research stay.

International students can be enrolled as Practical Project Students (PPS) for up to two semesters if, e.g., participating in a TUM research project or writing their thesis at one of our Schools.
