Wieso?

Hi there, I would like to introduce myself as a starter. I am an aerospace engineer ( I studied in the UK my age is around 23 ), along my journey I discovered my real passion which is abstract mathematics as first place and then some areas in theoretical physics.

It's hard to master mathematics alone there are plenty of topics, books, exams questions that I want to really understand deeply and that's why I decided to apply to either Bonn or LMU as 2nd bachelor.

I am still thinking which one should I apply for?

Bonn is the best in mathematics and that's Great but there are two problems, first thing, it has a mandatory program in algorithms which is fine but not something I want to look for as a mandatory. But 2nd, I have heard it is not the best for physics.

In terms of LMU it is really good in abstract mathematics but not as good as Bonn. However, on the other hand, it has a great theoretical physics program as a minor and also it has the TMP elite program for master.

I am really confused which one I should go for and I am posting my issue here hoping someone can help me exactly to know which one I should choose

Kind regards

Hi, I wanted to ask about this year’s MCB admissions at LMU.

Did any non-EU applicants receive direct admission after the entrance exam stage, without an interview? Or is the interview mandatory for all selected non-EU applicants?

Would really appreciate if anyone who went through the process this year could share their experience.

I’m an exchange student from london and I was wondering if there were practice rooms available to be used by students not in the music faculty?

Hello everyone,

We are currently recruiting for our Space Brain Research Study! This is my master's thesis, so thank you in advance.

Ever wondered how the astronauts adapt to outer space? Help us explore how the brain regulates its own fluid and pressure systems!

The study consists of:
-MRI scan (resting state, so you can sleep through it)
-ultrasound of neck and eye

Compensation is €40. You will also get a full copy of your MRI scan afterwards for you to keep.

The session will take place in Großhadern, at the Institute for Stroke and Dementia.

Any questions, please reach out!

I recently just got admitted to LMU. Super excited btw. But it seems like housing is a total nightmare. I have been trying some platforms like WG-Gesucht, but still, too much demand for too few apartments. I am coming in October and I have no idea what I should do. Is there anyone who could share their experience or advice? I guess I just have to book a hotel or Airbnb when I arrive and then keep looking while I am there. I have a budget of 600-900 euros per month for a WG. Is this enough for a “decent” room in Munich? I am frustrated. I didn’t expect this to be this hard…(I thought probably getting admitted to LMU was the hardest part) please, any help?

Wie kann man als Student ≥1.000€ verdienen?

Hey, Leute, ich hätte eine Frage zur Deutschlandstipendium. Ich habe mich dieses Semester beworben, bin bei der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät.

Auf der Website steht, dass die Rückmeldungen voraussichtlich ab dem 11. Mai rausgeschickt werden.

Hat jemand schon eine Zu-/Absage bekommen oder noch nicht?
Ich bin zu ungeduldig...

Hi everyone,

I recently received a rejection email from LMU Munich for my application to a small programme that is starting next semester. But the email didn’t mention any reason for the rejection. What confuses me is that during the application process and also in the website of application office it was stated that the reason would be provided.

Has anyone experienced something similar with LMU? Is it normal that they don’t include the reason? Would it be okay to email the admissions/application office and ask for clarification?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone.

Today I got a mail inviting me to take a test of admission in Munich by saying that my GPA isn't 2.0 or better.

The thing is, every conversion I look at puts my GPA better than 2.0. I have a 3.05 GPA and even LMU's own website says that 3.00 equals to 2.0 in their scale here.

I've looked other schools for my specific country and it still says that 3.00 is equilevant to 2.00 in German scale.

Why did I get dodged for this?

I’m considering LMU Munich’s MS in Data Science & Statistics specialising in ML, but I’m unsure whether choosing this over a more traditional CS + AI master’s would hurt me long term.

My main concerns are:

1. How strong/reputable is the program overall?
2. How are employment outcomes after graduation, especially in tech?
3. Can graduates realistically get ML Engineer / AI Engineer type roles, or is it more data analyst/statistics focused?
4. Would a CS with AI specialization give significantly better opportunities?

I eventually want to do a PhD, but I also want to work in industry first and don’t want to limit job prospects by choosing the wrong degree. I would greatly appreciate honest opinions.

Is the TMP at LMU a gateway to break into Quant in Germany? (Apart from the obvious career in Th. Physics, of course)

Hallo :)

Eine Freundin und ich schreiben gerade unsere Bachelorarbeiten, und das über Reality-TV (freu mich immer noch dass unsere Betreuerin das Thema hat durchgehen lassen)!!

Jetzt brauchen wir für die Umfrage dazu noch zahlreiche Teilnehmende. Wir würden uns daher ganz dolle freuen, wenn vielleicht ein paar hier dran teilnehmen könnten - dauert auch nur fünf Minuten und ist (finden wir zumindest) ein super spannendes Thema.

Schonmal ganz ganz vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung!!

Im an international student planning to study in germany in this winter intake. I have a few questions on my mind
anyone trying to help please dm me 🙏🏻

Anyone heard back yet regarding this program. In the email it said expect to hear back by mid - May. It’s the 13th of May and I’m just curious if anyone has heard back.

So I’ve applied for a Master’s in Data Science at the University of Augsburg and Statistics & Data Science at LMU. I’m also planning to apply for AI in Ingolstadt.
Just wondering if I’m missing any other good options near Munich that are affordable and taught in English.
Thank you!
