Student Groups

Contrary to popular belief, TUM students don’t spend all their time on lectures and exams. Many students volunteer, organize continuing education and excursions, or organize their own events. The Student Representation provides support and improves visibility of student groups once they have been accredited by the Council of Student Representatives.

Applications for StudiTUM privileges

Accredited student groups can apply for StudiTUM privileges until March 3.
Non-accredited student groups must apply for accreditation by February 21 in order to qualify for the grant.
