Technische Universität München Practical Research Experience Program

City: Munich Country: Germany

Overview

The TUM Practical Research Experience Program (PREP), is a short-term (10-week) research internship program that runs over the course of the summer. Working on a research project under the supervision of a TUM academic, PREP participants will build up and further refine their research skills, learn more about the specifics of the German higher education and research landscape, and become members of the diverse scientific community at Germany's top-ranked technical university.

TUM PREP applicants demonstrate outstanding academic achievements, can easily adapt to new environments and are driven by a general curiosity for science and research. During their stay and beyond, program participants serve as ambassadors for their home institutions and for TUM, respectively, and will contribute to the strengthening of international research networks.
