In her address, she emphasized the importance of global academic exchange:

“An international academic experience is key to equip students with the personal and professional skills to address today’s and tomorrow’s major global challenges. It’s a pleasure to welcome these exchange students from all over the globe who bring new perspectives to our classrooms and enrich TUM’s international campus life.”

To help incoming students settle in, the TUM Global & Alumni Office – in collaboration with the student-run organization ESN TUMi e.V. – offers a wide-ranging orientation program during the first weeks of April.

These efforts extend throughout the semester, providing ongoing support and opportunities for exchange students to connect with local peers through various events, cultural activities, and mentoring programs.
