A Bavarian MIT?
Despite its size, with over 45,000 students as of 2023, making it the largest technical university in Germany, TUM's demonstration is that even the biggest "tankers" in the higher education sector can navigate swiftly.
A Bavarian MIT?
In Fall 2023, Bavaria attracted over 7.2 million visitors, solidifying its status as a dream destination. These figures set a new milestone for the Munich Wiesn, the internationally acclaimed Oktoberfest. Equally record-breaking, and a hot topic for study abroad programs, is the ascendance of Bavaria's Technical University of Munich (TUM). For several years, TUM has been heralded as Germany's leading university, consistently securing top spots in the Shanghai Ranking, QS, and THE, with its graduates being ranked 13th worldwide in employer esteem. Despite Germany's innovation economy having a hard time, TUM students have consistently produced successful high-growth startups, prompting a question: What's going on in the land of Dirndl, Lederhosen, and why does it matter to MIT?
