Academic Programs

The TUM School of Medicine and Health offers students a broad and interdisciplinary range of courses within its five Professional Profiles: Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Teaching Sports, and Sport and Health Sciences.

More than 1,600 medical students attend the clinical study section at TUM. The common goal of Klinikum rechts der Isar and the TUM School MH is to develop scientific findings through outstanding research that serve both the fundamental understanding of disease processes and directly benefit patients. It is therefore also a major concern of the TUM School to prepare students for their future work with the latest knowledge and human commitment. This commitment pays off - TUM has consistently ranked among the top places in the nationwide comparison of medical state examinations for years.

The elite Master's program in Biomedical Neuroscience teaches the theory and practice of neuroscience at the highest level, while the Master's in Radiation Biology closes the circle to preclinical disciplines at the interface between biology, physics and medicine.

In the Health Science degree courses, students learn a broad spectrum of knowledge based on perspectives from biomedicine, psychology, sociology, the healthcare system and interdisciplinarity and can pursue current research questions in this field with an accompanying methodology course.

The Sport Science degree courses are characterized by excellence in research in all sports-related subject areas. In terms of subject and methodology, students learn at an early stage to concretize research questions and develop interdisciplinary answers. The teaching and learning laboratories, the Prevention Center and the Living Labs provide them with an excellent research infrastructure. The TUM School's exceptional expertise provides students with practical skills and links science with practice.

In the teacher training course in sport, the varied practical sports training takes place in the fields of handball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics on apparatus, athletics, gymnastics/dance, swimming and snow sports. It is closely interlinked with pedagogical-didactic teaching content, which specifically promotes the teaching skills of prospective teachers for the design of the school subject of sport. Thanks to various sport sciences courses from the fields of sports medicine, training and exercise science, sports sociology and sports psychology, future teachers have a sound sport sciences education. A particular focus of the sports teacher training course is on the personal development of prospective teachers - the personal and social skills required in the teaching profession are specifically promoted and strengthened throughout the course.
