The Ultimate TUM Guide: Your Roadmap to Scholarships, Research and and Success at TUM

The guide I wish I had when I started at TUM.

When I first came to Munich as a first-generation student from Albania, I had no idea how much I didn’t know about scholarships, research, or simply how to navigate life at TUM. I learned everything through trial and error.

Over time, I earned €25,000 in scholarships, conducted research at Stanford University, joined the CDTM program, and went on exchange to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tsinghua University, all without a roadmap.

This book is everything I wish someone had handed me back then: practical guidance, honest advice, and the mindset that helped me get there.

Whether you’ve just received your acceptance letter or are already studying at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), I wrote this guide to help you feel less lost and more equipped to create a path that truly fits you.

💡 Inside, you’ll learn how to:

🎓 Earn scholarships (even as a non-EU student)
🌍 Find international research and exchange opportunities
💡 Write motivation letters that actually open doors
📘 Craft a professional resume for scholarships and internships
💶 Build financial literacy as a student and save smartly
🧭 Grow outside the classroom by joining student clubs

You’ll also get access to exclusive bonus materials, including:

• My Scholarship Database with 33+ categorized opportunities
• My personal Cover Letter and CV
• Tips on Academic Job Search in the US
• Cover Letters and Resume templates by Harvard University
• Writing Tips Based on Stanford MBA class by NYT editor

💭 Why I Wrote This Book

Because I strongly believe talent is everywhere, but people often lack the mindset, tools, and resources to reach their potential. This book gives you the the clarity to bridge that gap and build the future you envision.
