Student Support
Student Spring Gathering
The Student Spring Gathering is a three-day event which takes place in April right before the start of the summer semester. It is organised by the Study Management STS together with the students: the students decide on the theme, search for guest speakers and plan the talks, workshops and leisure activities.
There are several opportunities for stays abroad which students can pursue on their own initiative. The TUM Global Office and the Study Management STS offer support and advice. The ERASMUS+ program offers you the chance to study at universities within the European Union (EU) whereas with the TUMexchange Program you can also visit universities outside the EU.
For more information on which partner universities you can apply for, please visit this website and choose the subject area “SOT - Department of Science, Technology and Society”.
