TUM Schools and Departments

A leading university emerges through the convergence of excellence from different subject cultures. We are transforming our traditional department (formerly faculty) system to an innovation-promoting matrix organization of Schools and Integrative Research Centers. While preserving our academic diversity and disciplinary depth, we are creating new synergies in research, teaching, and entrepreneurship, awakening interaction potentials between disciplines, and forging more efficient system-integrative cooperation networks.
