TUM Language Center

The TUM Language Center plays a central role in the internationalization initiative of the Technical University Munich. We offer students and staff diverse opportunities to develop competence in a foreign language in addition to professional communication skills. Our program strongly emphasizes intercultural communication in the context of scientific research.

Currently all TUM Language Center services are being offered online.

Our Service Office is not available by phone from 3.5. to 7.5.

Dear students,

By now all places in our courses have been allocated.
If your registration in TUMonline shows the status ‘requirements met‘ (=waiting position), unfortunately you have not received a fixed place.
We thank you for understanding that the number of places is limited.

The schedule for our intensive courses during the semester break will be released in TUMonline in mid-July 2021.
