About

TUM Asia

Over the past 150 years, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has continually reinvented itself, paving the way for a steady stream of innovation since 1868. From its modest origins as a polytechnic school, TUM has evolved into an international frontrunner with campuses situated across various strategic parts of the world. Building upon the philosophy of “bringing the igniting spark of science to the commercial and industrial world”, today, TUM Asia continues its legacy of shaping an exciting new world in the midst of a digital revolution.

Framed by its vision to shape the future with talent, TUM Asia opened its doors in 2002 to bring German academic excellence to Singapore. Though situated in an Asian country, the academic model employed by TUM Asia is nevertheless German in its roots, with an emphasis on industry readiness and innovation. Offering Bachelor, Master’s courses and a suite of executive education courses, TUM Asia strives to be on the front edge of change by constantly scanning the industry landscapes in Asia, refining its approach to education to remain industry-relevant. Partnerships with top Asian universities and industry leaders combine German engineering with Asian relevance to equip talents for industry and research sectors in the world.

In 2010, TUMCREATE, the research arm of TUM Asia, was established to foster research collaborations between Singapore and TUM.
