    Foreign qualifications are normally checked by uni-assist before a university will consider the application. uni-assist says a result usually takes 4 to 6 weeks and asks you to apply at least 8 weeks before the deadline. Starting late is a common and avoidable way to miss an institutional deadline.

What it is

Economics and business combined with biology, chemistry and process engineering for bio-based products and the circular economy, on TUM's Straubing campus; year three adds technical electives and bioeconomy governance.

What you need

  • Mainly English, but some modules may be offered in German only. No language certificate. The online orientation test is compulsory; its result is only advice.
Requirements in full

Every IB applicant at Technical University of Munich

Your six IB subjects must meet the KMK rule; uni-assist converts your IB to a German grade (VPD). Nobody is ranked: five degrees use grade-based aptitude points with an interview or test band, three are open.
