MUNTUM concept and background info
As every year, we try to offer a broad selection of conferences that you and your TUM delegation can attend. However, you will not apply for one specific conference, but for a seat in the whole delegation as such. During the application process you will be asked to select those conferences that you are interested in and that you can actually afford. While we try as hard as possible to raise financial support for you, the largest part for the conference trip has to be paid by you. Please keep that in mind when you make your selection.
What are the assessment criteria for online applications?
- Good language skills in written and spoken English
- High interest in foreign relations and international politics
- International experience
- Team or social activites
- Commitment to contribute to MUNTUM
After the final TUM delegation has been selected, we will divide the group of successful applicants into subgroups, one for each conference, depending on the selections you have made. Typically, you will attend only one conference, but if you are really eager and enthusiastic and wish to attend more, we try to support you as best as we can. We will ask you in detail on this during the interview phase.
