Digitization in Studies and Teaching

The Board of the Technical University of Munich has set up the Steering Committee for Digitalization in Studies and Teaching with the aim of making the digitalization process in studies and teaching more dynamic.

Its members are Michael Strobel from TUM IT Management, Viola Muraro from the TUM Center for Study and Teaching, and Claudia Philipps as a delegate representing the Schools.

All digitalization projects are carefully examined and evaluated in terms of their benefits, expected costs, and complexity, and prioritized based on these criteria.

The following digitization projects are currently in progress in the area of studies and teaching:

• Booking software for TUM-wide standardized digital booking processes of resources such as appointments, services, materials, rooms, and more

• Alerting software for critical or threatening situations for employees and students

• TUM Trust Center: Electronic signing, sealing, and verifying of digital documents, as well as automated e-sealing of documents in TUMonline

• Digital cafeteria pass: Proof of status group membership in the smartphone wallet app for payment with a personal bank card or wallet in the cafeteria

• Digital StudentCard: Student ID within the TUM app

• Digitalization of applications, such as leave of absence requests, withdrawal requests, and others

• Digital study completion certificate: Available certified with an e-seal in TUMonline.

• Digital graduation documents

• Digitalization of committee processes

• AI-based search functions for study programs

• MoveON: Integration of the platform for international exchange into TUMonline

We have already received the following project ideas from the area of studies and teaching:
