TU Munich / Interview
The TU Munich interview
Interview by invitation, and it carries significant weight in the decision. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
Interview by invitation
Aptitude assessment interview (Eignungsfeststellungsverfahren), ~20 min, on campus or virtual; only triggered for applicants whose grade points fall in the middle band of a program's ranking
How to prepare for TU Munich
- The interview is not universal , it is only offered to borderline applicants whose grade scores land in the middle band. If your grades are strong enough to clear the threshold outright, you will not be interviewed.
- Expect questions focused on subject-matter aptitude and motivation for the specific program, not a general personal statement conversation. TUM uses the interview to gauge whether your academic preparation matches what the program demands.
- Your letter of motivation (max 2 A4 pages, submitted via TUMonline) is the closest equivalent to a personal interview for top-band applicants , treat it as seriously as you would an interview itself.
- International applicants must have their documents verified through uni-assist before the TUM deadline; delays there can remove you from consideration before any interview stage is reached.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
