Gateway to English Master's
Currently enrolled TUM students can meet the English language requirement for one of the many English master's programs at TUM by completing any of the courses included in this module: English for Academic Purposes, English for Environmental Engineering, English for Civil Engineering, and English for Geodesy.
Not only is this a way to meet this requirement, without taking an external language proficiency test, but all Gateway courses will cover the core reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills needed for advanced study in English.
These rigorous preparation for English master’s courses are all identified by the suffix ‘Gateway to English Master’s C1’. Click on the link below and set the filter to Gateway to see only these courses listed.

Thesis Writers' Workshop
The Thesis Writers' Workshops are for students currently writing a bachelor's or master's thesis. The sessions combine short lectures, discussions, group activities, and lots of peer workshopping. You will carefully study the stylistic principles of effective and clear scientific writing in English while learning from the successes and stumbling blocks of your fellow thesis writers.
