Student Groups

Contrary to popular belief, TUM students don’t spend all of 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 the visibility of student groups once they have been accredited by the Council of Student Representatives.


These student groups are accredited and actively supported by the Student Representation.
