  • TUM — Master in Management & Technology: how to apply. INTERVIEW CHECKED 2026-09-03: the aptitude assessment (Eignungsverfahren) is two-stage and neither stage is an interview — "in the first stage of the assessment procedure, candidates are evaluated based on their previous academic background", and "if an applicant's eligibility is still uncertain after stage 1, the application will move on to stage 2, an admission test", scheduled for 6 July 2026 for the winter semester 2026/27. The word interview (Auswahlgespräch) does not appear. Worth re-checking each cycle: at TUM the second stage of an Eignungsverfahren IS an interview on some other degree programmes, so this is a per-programme fact, not a university-wide one — Technical University of Munich
  • TUM School of Management — "Assessment procedure: Master in Management and Technology", the info sheet the how-to-apply page links to, headed "Valid for applications for the winter semester 2026-2027 or later" (9 pages, sha256:fed5b93ae8a6995c, read 2026-09-04 with npm run pdf:text). SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-04, and this is where the arithmetic lives — the how-to-apply page describes the two stages but publishes none of the numbers. Eligibility: bachelor's with at least 140 ECTS at the time of application in Management and Technology, Management, Economics, Industrial Engineering or comparable, plus at least 25 ECTS business/Betriebswirtschaftslehre, 10 ECTS economics/Volkswirtschaftslehre and 15 ECTS engineering or natural science; "under no circumstances will conditional admission be given" where these are unmet. Stage 1 core-module points: business modules (>=25 ECTS) 20 and economics modules (>=10 ECTS) 10, both "granted immediately when fulfilling the eligibility requirements"; quantitative decision making with operations-research methods (>=5 ECTS) 10, "may be granted" and explicitly NOT an eligibility requirement; total 40. The engineering/natural-science prerequisite "is not awarded any points". Bachelor GPA up to 10: 1,0 = 10, 1,1/1,2 = 9, 1,3/1,4 = 8, 1,5/1,6 = 7, 1,7/1,8 = 6, 1,9/2,0 = 5, 2,1/2,2 = 4, 2,3/2,4 = 3, 2,5/2,6 = 2, 2,7/2,8 = 1, >=2,9 = 0, converted by the Bavarian formula. GMAT extra points by percentile: <=65 and 66-71 = 0/1, then 72-74 = 2, 75-77 = 3, 78-79 = 4, 80-81 = 5, 82-84 = 6, 85-86 = 7, 87-88 = 8, 89-90 = 9, >=93 = 10 — considered "only in the first stage". THRESHOLDS: "Rejection - if the application reaches 34 points or less; Direct admission - if the application reaches 45 points or more; Stage 2 - if the application reaches between 35-44 points". Stage 2 is a test of "about 40 to 50 questions" with a maximum of 40 points in four equal quarters — maths and statistics; business administration and accounting; micro- and macroeconomics; a short written text on an issue in the context of economics and technology — with no aids permitted; stage 1 points MINUS the GMAT plus the test score must reach 70 to admit. NATIONALITY RULE: applicants who obtained their bachelor's "in China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh must submit a GMAT (classic/focus) with at least 65% percentile ranking. This requirement cannot be waived." DOCUMENT LIST: neither this sheet nor the how-to-apply page names a motivation letter, an essay or a CV — the upload list is deferred to TUMonline, so this profile no longer asserts one either way — Technical University of Munich, School of Management
