FAQ

Can I conduct my Master's Thesis at your facility?
Sure, the currently available thesis topics are available here.

I would like to conduct my Bachelor's or Master's Thesis at a company. Is it possible, that you supervise it on behalf of TUM?
A supervision of external Master's Theses is only possible in individual cases and with sufficient overlap to current research topics at the institute. Our institute does not supervise external Bachelor's Theses. Please send your application with your curriculum vitae, description of the desired topic and contact information from your external supervisor to info.nma@ed.tum.de.

What are your requirements for applying to a PhD position?
Knowledge of the German language, the German education system and of course a successful (masters) degree in mechanical engineering/electrical engineering/physics are usually the requirements for an application. You should be, however, aware of the fact that this kind of position also requires a high amount of initiative, responsibility and perseverance. We are always happy to receive your application!

Is it possible to conduct an internship at your institute?
Generally, this is possible but highly depends on the kind of the internship and the corresponding situation at the institute. Please contact Dr. Maximilian Prager, if you have questions.

Is it possible to claim credit/acknowledgement for foreign lectures or exams?
If a certain non-TUM examination can be acknowledged has to be decided individually.
If you plan on having doing studies abroad, the Chair can give a (not binding) estimation on a possible acknowledgement beforehand. In this case, please contact our foreign student advisor (you find him under Teaching).
After your return, please contact your corresponding examination council and apply for acknowledgement first. Then you can discuss this application along with all available information about the lecture/exam with our Chair's foreign student advisor.

Is it possible to be supervised by your professor if I want to conduct a company-funded PhD?
