The Technical University of Munich (TUM or TU Munich) (German: Technische Universität München) is a public research university in Munich, with additional campuses in Garching, Freising, Heilbronn and Singapore. A technical university that specializes in engineering, technology, medicine, and the applied and natural sciences, it is organized into 15 schools and departments, and supported by numerous research centers.

A University of Excellence under the German Universities Excellence Initiative, TUM is consistently ranked among the leading universities in the European Union and its researchers and alumni include 16 Nobel laureates and 22 Leibniz Prize winners.

In 1868, King Ludwig II of Bavaria founded the Polytechnische Schule München with Karl Maximilian von Bauernfeind as founding director. The new university had its premises at Arcisstraße, where it is still located today. At that time, around 350 students were supervised by 24 professors and 21 lecturers. The college was divided into six departments: The “General Department” (mathematics, natural sciences, humanities, law and economics), the “Engineering Department” (civil engineering and surveying), the “Building Construction Department” (architecture), the “Mechanical-Technical Department” (mechanical engineering), the “Chemical-Technical Department” (chemistry), and the “Agricultural Department”.

In 1877, the Polytechnische Schule München became the Technische Hochschule München (TH München), and in 1901 it was granted the right to award doctorates. With an average of 2,600 to 2,800 students, the TH München was now Germany’s largest technical university for a time, ahead of the TH Berlin.
