Senate and TUM Board of Trustees

The two representatives of the Senate and TUM Board of Trustees represent the opinion of the students at the two highest decision-making bodies of the university. Both representatives are elected directly by the students at the university elections and each has one vote in the Senate. The representatives elected by the university election usually stand for election in the TUM Student Council as speakers for the Senate and the TUM Board of Trustees.

In addition to student representatives, there are also professors, representatives of scientific and other employees in the Senate. This committee discusses topics such as study program statutes or appointments. In addition to the Senators, also other external people from business, politics and culture are part of the University Council. Among other things, the strategic orientation of the university is discussed there, faculties and courses of study are set up and dissolved and the University Presidium is elected.
