What our Alumni say

  • Strategy is about making choices, where to go and where not. In particular, in turbulent environments you need a clear orientation. Otherwise you will end up with everything and nothing. The Strategizing in Turbulent Environments program equips with such an orientation.

    Prof. Dr. Thomas Hutzschenreuter
    Chair of Strategic and International Management, TUM School of Management
  • One of the most valuable and rewarding experiences during the Executive MBA program has been being able to expand my professional network with extraordinary people from across industries, and different disciplines. I was able to gain new insights from their diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives.

    Silvia Hilpert
    Graduate Executive MBA (Class of 2022)
  • 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
  • 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!

    Prof. Dominik Bösl
    HDBW
  • The course was extremely well-designed and useful. I have been writing academic papers for several years and yet, in each video, there was something new to learn. Thank you, teachers. I am presently doing a report for the World Bank and I find that the entire course has been extremely helpful, especially the sections on genre, cohesion, nominalisations, active and passive voice, credibility and formal writing. A huge thanks to those who designed the course, presented the videos and planned the exercises.

    Former participant in the course Academic Writing Made Easy
  • Receiving the TUM EMBA Alumni Association Christoph-Herrlich Scholarship not only offset the program fees during my personally financed studies but also confirmed for me the values of community service and altruism of the alumni community I am now proud to be a part of. I will always be grateful for the financial support and, through the fellow recipients and the Alumni Association board members, feel more integrated into the community’s international professional network.

    Peter So
    Award Recipient 2021, EMBA B&IT c/o 2022
  • Even though I am studying acoustics, this online course was a good addition. It was always very interesting as I was able to dive into some topics a bit deeper than in my previous (non-virtual) courses. My knowledge on some topics became more solid and detailed.

    Former course participant Applications in Communication Acoustics
  • Timber construction has the potential to be reusable. We demonstrate which aspects of demountability are crucial for this – and how they can be integrated into design and planning strategies.

    Dr.-Ing. Sandra Schuster
    Architect, Director of TUM.wood
  • The TUM.wood program takes a holistic approach to teaching wood construction. A team of lecturers and experts from theory and practice gives participants a comprehensive insight into the wood value chain. This is particularly interesting for experienced architects.

    René Rissland
    Alumni
    Architekt BDA, raum.land architekten und stadtplaner
  • When you join this Executive MBA program, you become part of a group of interesting people from various backgrounds, who all want to improve as professionals. Working side by side with these experienced and accomplished individuals has taught me things such as: new ways of approaching problems, paths of execution entirely different from mine, insights, and advice from sources I never had access to. The side effect: a reliable personal network, that would have taken years to build up.

    Marc Erras
    Class of 2018
  • Functional integration, resource conservation, lightweight construction and highly complex component designs – these features characterize additive manufacturing processes. Consequently, additive manufacturing processes are ideal technologies for sustainable and green production. In order to be able to leverage this sustainability potential, an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing processes is essential.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katrin Wudy
    Professorship Laser-based Additive Manufacturing, TUM School of Engineering and Design
  • The Global Aerospace Campus online course “Space Safety” has provided me with invaluable knowledge in the aspects of space debris, collision avoidance, and asteroid impacts.

    Previous Learner
  • It is essential for companies to assess whether the “quantum advantage” provides them with a product advantage and whether the possible “quantum supremacy” may mean that their product’s technical and market conditions must be completely reassessed.

    Prof. Dr. Alexander Holleitner
    Walter Schottky Institute and Physics Department, Chair of Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials, Technical University of Munich
  • The goal must be to make agriculture more efficient, more resilient, more resource-efficient and even more sustainable. Technologies offer us powerful tools for this, but can only be successful in the long-term, if they are seamlessly integrated into everyday work.

    Maximilian Treiber
    Chair of Agricultural Systems Engineering, Technical University Munich
  • What I particularly liked about this course is that it was not industry-specific, which allowed me to learn how other industries use Blockchain. Also, the course provides excellent foundational knowledge in each module. The group exercise and case study were also excellent ways to apply our new knowledge and solidify our understanding of the material. Not to mention, I made new acquaintances and friends thanks to the course!

    Flavio Garcea
    Product Manager, Digital Trust for Clearstream (part of Deutsche Börse Group)
  • 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
  • By combining different areas of expertise, the certificate program provides a broad, integrated and critical perspective on the diverse aspects of sustainability. The exchange with learners from a wide range of industries offered interesting discussions and practical examples. I am now perfectly prepared to initiate improvements in the area of sustainability and to find sustainable solutions for customers.

    Dr. Bettina Basel
    Global Segment Manager Mold Making & Sustainability Coordinator Industrial Solutions, Wacker Chemie AG
  • Participating in this program stands out as the best highlight in my professional journey. The global network of diverse students, guidance from insightful mentors, and the program’s focus on innovation have profoundly enhanced my professional growth. I extend heartfelt appreciation to my employer, AHK Eastern Africa, for sponsoring my expenses during the contact phases in Germany.

    Esther (Wanjiru) Ndichu
    Senior Project Manager, AHK Services Eastern Africa
  • Our Alumni Association creates a unique opportunity for lifelong learning and growth. I am happy to support this vibrant and strong community of professionals.

  • 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)
