  • As a transplant from California, I choose to participate actively in the Alumni Association in order to engage with the network of individuals from the university and to promote the exchange of experiences, opportunities, and connections, especially in the areas of lifelong professional learning and personal development.

    Peter So
    Executive MBA in Business & IT | 2nd Chairman of the Board
  • It is one of the best-organized MOOCs I have ever had. The instructors made a huge effort to provide material suitable for students from diverse backgrounds. There are required (core) videos suitable for everyone. The quizzes are not just testing your memorization skills (like other courses I had) but are testing your understanding and help you understand the material in-depth!

    Former participant of the course
  • Digitization is making its way into industrial companies, which opens up great potential for production. In order to be able to harness this potential, both young professionals and experienced engineers need sound knowledge of data-driven methods. This training is an ideal introduction to the world of artificial intelligence. Its focus on use cases ensures that participants can immediately apply what they have learned to relevant data sets and to their companies.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael F. Zäh
    Chair of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology, TUM School of Engineering and Design
  • SITE has not only given me a deeper understanding of the core elements of successful strategizing, but has also provided me with valuable concepts and tools that enable me to transfer this knowledge to my everyday professional life. In particular, I liked the combination of teaching and practice-oriented workshops.

    Dr. Anke Susanne Hoffmann
    Director Strategy & Digital Management Audio / Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH
  • Access to knowledge and personal development are now more important than ever to ensure the success of a company. That is why I am happy to support any form of continuing education, also in our Alumni Association.

    Susanne Mader
    Executive MBA | 3rd Chairperson & Treasurer
  • Standardized methodological knowledge is not enough. Digital transformation is complex and multidimensional and different in every case.

    Dr. Christoph Geier
    Director Digital Transformation at TUM Campus Heilbronn
  • The exercises were very comprehensible and foolproof, just the way you should have them at the beginning.

    Former participant of the course

  • Additive manufacturing in its already great diversity makes it possible to get from a product idea to a finished product in record time. In addition, layer-by-layer construction can create structures with the most complex geometries, in multi-material construction or with integrated functionalities, which would not be so easy to realize with conventional technologies.

    Prof. Dr. Peter Mayr
    Chair of Materials Engineering of Additive Manufacturing
  • Comprehensive knowledge of timber construction is the key to serving the exploding demand for building concepts with renewable raw materials.

    Prof. Hermann Kaufmann
    HK Architekten Hermann Kaufmann + Partner ZT
  • Munich Aerospace’s course “Space Safety” provides a multifaceted overview of the field. I enjoyed learning more about the topics of space weather, space medicine, and cyber security. I found that very interesting and enriching.

    Previous Learner
  • The program provided an excellent environment to learn new methods how to consider unforeseeable changes in the competitive environment. I liked especially the opportunities to reflect the learning with practical examples, and the personal coaching for an own case.

  • The Brewer Cursus was a great success! TUM has highly motivated lecturers who are very passionate about the subjects. The topics were all very interesting. The practical brewing process itself was very hands-on. We brewed in small groups. I was able to take away many tips and tricks for my small brewing operation I am planning to expand.

    Thomas Heim
    Small business owner, microbrewery (Participant Brewer Course 2022/2023)
  • Great: Good videos, interactive tasks, and integrated development environment.

  • Venture capital and private equity are rather difficult sectors to access. It is tricky to understand the details and the mechanisms behind the scenes without talking to experienced professionals. The CPEA’s multi-faceted approach not only provides academic analysis of the industry as a whole, but also sheds light on the complex construct from a practitioner’s perspective.

    Philip Schultheiß
    Principal, AM Ventures
  • Previous approaches in the area of patient safety have been primarily characterized by reacting to errors in order to avoid them in the future. However, patient safety concerns much more than just avoiding errors and certain complications. Rather, patient safety must be understood as an inherent characteristic of teams and organizations.

    Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Haseneder
    Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Technical University of Munich
  • During my studies, I was able to understand what type of leader I am and how to make a real impact on my team and my stakeholders. Most importantly, I learned how to support my team members, help them grow and become the best version of themselves.
