What our Alumni say

  • Being part of the TUM TVET Master is an honor for me. Not only have I learned about TVET and Educational Innovation, but I have also created a solid network around the globe. The hybrid format has worked well for me, allowing me to balance work, study, and family time. The peer and individual mentorship system has been key to maximizing my learning opportunities and achieving my Master’s degree.

    Maria Mercedes Werner
    Digital Education and Lifelong Learning Consultant
  • Dear Academic-Writing-Made-Easy team, Thank you for the course! I am not a student at uni. I took part in this course out of interest in English writing in all its forms. However, I can say that I am happy to have completed this MOOC. I am taking many interesting concepts and helpful ideas with me. Thanks again for the interesting course. All the best to all the team!

  • 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
  • Great: Good videos, interactive tasks, and integrated development environment.

    Former participant of the course
  • Quantum technologies offer great opportunities but are still limited by certain physical and technical constraints. Thus, understanding quantum technologies is crucial to classify the current status and distinguish real potential from hype.

    Prof. Dr. Jan von Delft
    Chair of Theoretical Solid State Physics, Department of Physics, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
  • 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 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
  • Graduates from this program will be well prepared for a wide range of professional activities to introduce innovation and to lead transformation.

    Prof. Dr. Daniel Pittich
    Assistant Professorship for Technical Education
  • Excellent structuring, very original tasks!

    Former participant of the course
  • The aim of the program is to give an insight into the German expertise and experience in the field of vocational education and training. Students will develop competencies in the design, administration and management of vocational training processes which they will then be able to transfer to their home countries and institutions.

    Theresa Bauer
    Research Assistant at the Professorship for Business, Economics and Vocational Education
  • 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.

  • 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)
  • I would absolutely go for this program again! Many of the approaches and ideas were immediately useful in my corporate job. Before the Executive MBA, I thought of myself as an intrapreneur. Actually, I never had serious plans to found my own business. This seed was planted in Garching, and the plant is growing: What initially started as my final thesis topic within the program led to founding the medtech start-up Lab E GmbH.

    Carola Epple
    Class of 2018
  • It was very interesting to learn about the various factors of factual and human performance requirements and their effects. Especially in the operating room, where work is often done under time pressure and with changing team members, errors can be consciously avoided through good patient safety management.

  • Receiving the TUM EMBA Alumni Association Christoph-Herrlich Scholarship came at one of the most difficult moments in my life, and it quite literally made it possible for me to complete my EMBA when I otherwise could not have. Your generosity made the difference between stopping and succeeding, and I remain profoundly grateful for the support that continues to shape my life and leadership today. I couldn’t be more proud of EMBA diploma and continued involved with TUM alumni.

    Tiffany Valeriano
    Award Recipient 2019, Executive MBA 2023
  • From day one of my practical phase, Voith showed me that they were fully involved and that what I did was a real enrichment for them. They made me understand that my work would help the company to make real-life decisions in order to become more competitive. I think, good communication and the exchange of information were the key pillars of successful project development.

    Andres Rodriguez
    Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • Using timber construction meaningful and with a sense of proportion – we want to impart the sound specialist knowledge for this.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Winter
    Chair of Timber Construction and Building Design, TUM
  • 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
  • Our Alumni Association creates a unique opportunity for lifelong learning and growth. I am happy to support this vibrant and strong community of professionals.

    Niklas Manhart
    Niklas Manhart, Executive MBA | Chairman of the Board
  • The covered topics were perfect for me as someone coming from another professional field. Exactly the right mix of praxis relevant information for the daily brewing process, but also with a solid foundation of science to help to truly understand the entire process. The lectures were all well prepared, very competent and engaged with great passion. The organization was perfect, as was the atmosphere during the course.

    Dr. Matthias Dreyer
    Chemical Engineer and Owner of a Microbrewery (Participant Brewer Course 2022/23)
