What our Alumni say

  • The program helped me to make our whole business concept way more scalable. We successfully developed our company from a consulting business to a technology driven business.

    Catharina van Delden
    Class of 2010
  • Lifelong learning does not end with the completion of a degree or continuing education program. Through our association, we maintain contacts, renew our knowledge in the spirit of lifelong learning and thus create inspiration for new concepts.

    Arndt Kresin
    Executive MBA | 1st Chairperson of the Board
  • One of my decision criteria to join the Executive MBA program at the TUM was based on the modular setup offered. The split into modules which mostly took place Thursday to Tuesday helped me a lot to manage my full-time job, focus on the Executive MBA and still spend time with my family as I have two kids.

    Mandy Deimel
    Class of 2020
  • Excellent content and assignments that build on your knowledge, before reinforcing, and then expanding your learning. I recently secured new employment using these skills. Thanks!

    Former Participant in the Specialization
  • I was impressed by the variety of the course content and the professional organization of the course, as well as the presentation of many different perspectives on the BIM. I particularly enjoyed the presentations of the research work, which offered a fascinating glimpse into the future.

    Anne R.
    Munich
  • One of the great things about the program is you can exchange idea with experts at eye level. Whether in short inspirational lectures or half-day course modules, there is always a great discussion based on vivid, real-life examples. This is a kind of emotional learning, not a purely abstract transfer of knowledge, as you know it from other training courses.

    Wiebke Holland-Nell
    Sustainability Manager, Siemens Healthcare GmbH
  • Global concerns for future work emphasize the vital role of vocational education. This master’s degree is an excellent opportunity to connect with students and experts worldwide and discuss the impact of technological and digital transformation on VET and innovative training for industry professionals. SENAI finances my studies, considering my participation strategic for our future. I am pleased to participate in this course.

    Luiz Eduardo Leao
    Manager of Educational Technologies, SENAI . Brazilian Service for Industrial Training
  • In a future where AI and quantum computing merge, the impossible becomes possible. This course has helped me to understand the difference between science fiction and reality.

    Moritz Bachenheimer
  • Having over twenty years of experience in both technical and management roles, I always found that I was missing certain tools in my ‘toolbox’ – especially when it came to working with senior executives. After attending the Executive MBA in Business & IT at the TUM, I am confident about engaging in deeper discussions because I now use these newly gained tools.

    Vu Huy Nguyen
    Class of 2019
  • I am delighted that the new certificate program “Patient Safety” has been launched by TUM’s Medical Faculty and the Klinikum rechts der Isar in close cooperation with TUM Campus Straubing, the Klinikum St. Elisabeth Straubing and Lufthansa Aviation Training. Due to the advances made in the digitalization of medicine and the increasingly complex processes involved in treatment, the topic of patient safety is becoming ever more important in our clinics and hospitals. The interdisciplinary partnership of medicine, research and business holds the promise of innovative and dynamic strategies for the responsible handling of risks posed by modern medicine.

    Bernd Sibler
    Former Minister of State, Member of the Bavarian State Parliament
  • The course provides a good overview of space safety. I am impressed by the carefully selected details and examples provided by the course instructors. I appreciate the well-structured lectures. Thank you!

    Previous Learner
  • My motivation is to make an impact on how companies can position themselves disruptively and assert themselves in the future. My career has benefited extremely from this Executive MBA as I have gained different perspectives on strategic and operational issues and had the opportunity to take part in Dell’s female leadership program.

    Lisa Grundl
    Class of 2019
  • What an outstanding course. The instructors make the videos engaging and convey the topics in a much more interesting manner than any other computer science lecturer I’ve ever seen. The course is structured very cleverly as well, with multiple video paths that you can take depending on how much support you need.

    Former participant of the course
  • The goal of the course and our greatest concern is therefore to make this knowledge about Smart Farming and the digital transformation possibilities of agriculture available to all interested parties in a compact form – based on cutting-edge research findings, practice- as well as future-oriented.

    Josef Bauerdick
    Co-initiator certificate program Smart Farming and IoT in Agriculture
  • We try to counteract the ever-increasing complexity in the construction industry: simply build!

    Prof. Dr. Florian Nagler
    Chair of Design and Construction, TUM
  • At the start of our project phase at Kärcher, we were introduced to the most important people from the robotics team who provided us with the materials we needed. Through group interviews, we gathered valuable information for working on the objective questions. There were weekly feedback meetings to ensure mutual knowledge exchange. And although we could not be on site due to ongoing contact restrictions, we received continuous support.

    Tim Langendörfer
    Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • We convey the technical relationships as well as the responsibility that all those involved along the wood value chain assume if wood is used for modern, efficient, climate-friendly and sustainable construction

    Prof. Dr. Klaus Richter
    Chair of Wood Science, TUM

    Prof. Hermann Kaufmann
    HK Architekten Hermann Kaufmann + Partner ZT
  • This program has given me access to a network with extensive expertise and experience. It is the ideal space to ask critical questions, discuss current developments and think outside the box. Although only a few months have passed since the end of the program, this network has already supported me in several projects.

    Britta Hornung-Schweter
    Senior-Director, Rautenberg & Company
  • As technological progress is advancing faster, the ethical and moral aspects of technology need more attention and transparent, educated public discourse is crucial to foster sustainable and responsible innovation!
