Academic Excellence

GIST - TUM Asia leverages on the highest academic standards to equip its students with the skills and training necessary to overcome the toughest challenges of the industry. All applicants undergo rigorous screening by the Programme Management Committee after which GIST - TUM Asia welcomes successful candidates for an eighteen-month accelerated program of scientific training, practical research, and cultural enrichment. Study with some of the most renowned lecturers including Nobel Laureates, the President of TUM, and Deans and Professors of TUM, NUS and NTU. In contrast to the practice of teleteaching, all international lecturers are engaged on an exclusive basis for the lecture period in Asia. Nowhere else will you have more direct and intimate contact with your instructors, and nowhere else will instructors complement your academic progress in a more efficient and focused way than in classes with 25-30 students in our Master programmes.

At GIST - TUM Asia I teach students from Asia and Europe who are carefully chosen for their ability and educational background. Their excitement for the area that I teach is motivating, and gives me great pleasure as well. What makes GIST - TUM Asia special is really the fun of teaching. Personal relationships are reinforced in free time outside the lectures. Prof. Robert Huber - Nobel Laureate Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry

The 18 month programme is carefully structured to provide students with academic knowledge and practical skills. 10 months of coursework is followed by 2 months internship and six months master thesis. Cross-Discipline modules enrich the curriculum with their focus on business administration, leadership training, and legal aspects. The Masters Programmes are conducted exclusively in English.

In my opinion, the main reason to decide to participate in GIST - TUM Asia is job opportunities available afterwards. Professors and industry expert lecturers know how to prepare students best for leading positions. You have excellent prospects: in Asia, in Germany or anywhere else in the world!
