Double Degree Programs

Prior to the student's application to the TUM Office of Admissions and Enrollement, double degree applications undergo an academic pre-check at our School. Partner institutions nominate their double degree candidates, sending via email to our School Office (global.ph@nat.tum.de) the following documents:

• Letter of motivation
• CV
• Academic records: Transcripts of Bachelor and Master level studies
• Bachelor diploma
• Language certificate

For double degree students, TUM exceptionally accepts internal language certificates. Such a language certificate, issued by the partner institution, has to show an equivalent level to the required competence level of the chosen study program. This level has to clearly conform with TUM minimum requirements for language skills.

The Bachelor's diploma must be submitted ideally together with the application to the Office of Admissions and Enrollement, but at the latest five weeks after the start of the first TUM semester. This document needs to be certified.

After pre-approval of the candidate, the TUM School of Natural Sciences issues the student a letter of eligibility (nomination), which helps for a faster processing of the application by the TUM Office of Admissions and Enrollement.
