Published by the British magazine “Times Higher Education,” the survey asked managers from companies across all major business sectors about the qualities that made a new graduate attractive to employers. It was designed by the French human resources firm, Emerging, and conducted by German employment research institute Trendence.

Apart from the University of Cambridge (5th), TUM, at number 8, is the only European school among the top 10. Seven of the universities are based in the United States, the University of Tokyo (9th) is the only Asian school among the best ten. Other German universities in the top 50 are LMU at number 31 and Goethe University Frankfurt at 47.

TUM also strongly contributes to advances in technology and business through research findings and inventions.
