What our Alumni say

  • Our world is changing and the Internet is the heart of this change. Understanding the Internet also deepened my understanding of the ongoing Digital Transformation. This helps me at work and in my personal life. Thank you!

    Former Participant of the course iLabX
  • 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
  • The exercises were very comprehensible and foolproof, just the way you should have them at the beginning.

    Former participant of the course
  • The Executive MBA in Business & IT enables me to connect, learn, exchange, and grow alongside a group of talented professionals. The exposure to colleagues coming from different industries and working for market leaders is definitely a great opportunity I am benefiting from during my program. I am also able to bring those connections back to work, unveiling synergies on new business opportunities and best practices.

    Fabrizio Nisi
    Class of 2023
  • Wood as a material offers enormous design potential for architecture and engineering. It can be used in a wide variety of ways. What fascinates me about wood is not only the aesthetic expression of the material, but also the special tectonics and the precision of digital production methods.

    Prof. Stephan Birk
    Dipl.-Ing. Architekt BDA, Professor for Architecture and Timber Construction, TUM
  • The Data Science program was an excellent refresher that reconnected me with the close relationship between computer science and mathematics. In just six days, an impressively broad spectrum was covered – from R fundamentals and statistical foundations to advanced machine learning methods and deep learning architectures. I particularly valued the well-balanced combination of theoretical concepts like Bayesian inference with practical applications in reinforcement learning and optimization methods. An intensive program that provides comprehensive insights into modern data-driven approaches.

    Ing. Valmir Bekiri
    BSc, MSc
  • It was a good mix of theory and application. I found the advice from the practitioners very helpful. Especially in the feedback sessions when we developed our projects. It was sometimes a bit overwhelming to understand all the theoretical parts of the lecture. But there are great additional resources to follow up on each topic to get a better understanding.

    Team Lead Customer Support at Finoa GmbH
  • can highly recommend this course if you want to get a thorough understanding of the complete blockchain & DLT ecosystem – from code to governance – and explore what it takes to make it work in a business environment (spoiler alert: a lot). I really enjoyed this course, taking home valuable insights and inspiration from this diverse group of practitioners!

    Heidi S.
    Participant 2019
  • More that the common buzzwords! The certificate program provides compact, in-depth knowledge of sustainability management as well as exciting field reports. The development of products that help customers reduce their carbon footprint has been driving me professionally for years. This product transformation always involves discussions – and now I feel event better equipped to deal with them.

    Lisa Frieg
    Managing Director Digital Housing & Ventures, Interhyp AG
  • 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
  • The CPEA combines deep expertise, practical relevance and a strong Private Markets network. For my work as a Co-Founder and entrepreneur, the program was a valuable refinement with new perspectives, relevant market insights and connections that last.

    Jan-André Pieper
    Co-Founder & Managing Director, Scaled Asset Services GmbH
  • 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
  • A great mix of really relevant theory and hands-on practice – real exchange with lecturers and participants about actual situations. Especially the change management content hit home – in a world that’s moving faster than ever, that’s just incredibly relevant. I took several coaching and leadership approaches back into my daily work with our portfolio companies and catch myself applying and reflecting on them regularly. Would absolutely recommend it.

    Former Participant
    Partner, Venture Capital Investments, Cohort 2026
  • 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!

Here, you will further develop your leadership skills to successfully align strategy, innovation, and technology with the human side of change.

    Dr. Ulf Steinberg
    Senior Lecturer | Leadership- and Organizational Development
  • Disruptive technologies challenge leaders to realign their behavior and leadership approach. Using a mix of different methods, we explore what effective leadership looks like in this dynamic environment. The Talent Booster provides a space for exchange, inspiration, and sustainable growth.

    Dr. Selina Stracke
    Leadership in Times of Disruptive Technologies
  • 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
  • I found the exchange with top experts from the German BIM landscape, as well as with the course participants, stimulating, interesting and informative. The organizers mastered the balancing act between content transfer, workshops and informal discussions wonderfully.

    Daniela D.

  • Imparting comprehensive knowledge about the agricultural and food sector. I greatly appreciate TUM’s efforts to improve the knowledge of people around the world through free education.

    Former participant in the course Economics of Agro-Food Value Chains
  • This course is fine and great as introduction to Supply Chain Management. The examples and slides are enough and with professor explanation everything is smooth and fun. Professor Holly is one of the best really , I have taken her Six sigma course on udicty which was a very great course. I hope professor Holly makes a specialization (a series of courses in which she continues teaching Supply Chain).
