For TUM PREP 2024, students can choose between a large variety of over 60 interesting research projects at our various university chairs, so that each student will hopefully find the perfect fit.

TUM PREP projects are offered by six different TUM Schools and many different TUM departments in the TUM campuses in Munich, Garching and Freising. Also for students outside of the engineering and natural sciences fields there is a lot to choose from. They can also do research in our departments of Architecture, Management, Medicine and Health Sciences, Management or Education.

Via the online TUM PREP Project Database it is easy to browse the different projects. Students can search in one of the TUM Schools / Departments for a suitable project described in a unique keyword, but can also enter keywords like the academic fields etc. This encourages students to also choose projects in a different field / department / School other than their study focus at the home university. Please see the guidelines for using and searching the database.
