After the coursework, all students have to complete an internship with the industry or with an academic institution. It is required for the student to complete an internship related to his or her field of study at TUM Asia.

One can secure an internship in Singapore, Germany, or in any other country in Asia, Europe or the rest of the world. Students who have secured scholarships with their sponsoring companies will conduct their internships in these companies (this can be conducted in any branch of the company worldwide). Students without industrial sponsorship are to look for internships independently. It is expected that all students take an active approach in this search for internships. TUM Asia will help provide students with any possible internship opportunities, but students are to lead the search for internships on their own.

As Singapore is a relatively small island city with easy access via public transport, students are able to reside in any residential zones convenient to them. TUM Asia has no in-campus accommodation facilities and our students search for their own accommodation that fits their budget and preferred area of ​​residence. They may choose to live in student hostels when they first arrive in Singapore and, after they have made new friends at university, they rent and share a private apartment with some other friends/classmates. The living expenses in Singapore (including accommodation) are approximately 1,200 – 2,200 SGD per month. The actual amount will vary across individuals.

Founded in 1868, Technical University of Munich (TUM) is one of Europe's leading research universities. In international rankings (QS World Ranking 2023, Times Higher Education 2022, and Shanghai Ranking 2022), TUM regularly places among the best universities in Germany. As one of the most research-intensive and most innovative universities in Europe, TUM strives to create sustainable solutions for society through excellence in education and research. In 2006, 2012 and 2019, it won recognition as a German "Excellence University".

TUM's unwavering commitment to the betterment of society has led to the establishment of its first and only overseas campus, TUM Asia, offering Bachelor's and Master's degrees conferred by TUM and other top universities in Singapore. Since opening its doors in 2002, TUM Asia has since produced close to 2,300 graduates in the areas of ​​engineering and natural sciences from different countries.

As the first German academic venture abroad, TUM Asia is supported by the Singapore Government through the Economic Development Board (EDB), and by the German Government through the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The overseas campus TUM Asia currently has more than 900 active students in its various programmes.

Nestled off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is often endearingly known as the “Little Red Dot” as it remains one of the smallest countries in the world. Despite its small size, the 710 square kilometre metropolis is constantly bursting with economic activities straddling electronics, chemicals and engineering.

Also known as the “Aerospace City of the Future”, Singapore boasts one of Asia’s largest and most diverse ecosystems, playing host to a growing satellite industry with more than 30 firms, including SES, Inmarsat and space start-ups like Astroscale. Lauded for its developed infrastructure, political stability, open business policies, skilled workforce and the use of English as the main working language, Singapore is the top choice for multinational companies and start-ups to set their business here as a springboard to tap into emerging markets. Singapore has one of the largest and most diverse aerospace companies in Asia, boasting 130 aerospace players in its ecosystem. From a tiny swamp-covered island, Singapore quickly grew into a major home to a motley mix of cultures, ethnicities and religions, with various festivities, traditions and practices. Be it its swanky architecture, diverse culture, lush greenery or tropical weather, there are many reasons why people choose to come to Singapore as their destination of choice.
