Garching

The high-tech campus north of Munich is TUM's largest location and one of the most modern research and training facilities in Europe.

University and research campus

The Garching campus is home to world-class research and teaching in the natural sciences and engineering. Our schools and research centers are located in close proximity to world-renowned research institutions, technology start-ups and industrial companies. A unique hub of scientific expertise that benefits students, researchers, and start-up companies alike: for education, for collaboration in cutting-edge research or for technological innovation. The campus is key to Munich's high-tech ecosystem.

Today's district of the university town of Garching in northern Munich began in 1957 with the commissioning of the first research reactor, the Garching "Atomic Egg". Other institutes, departments, and companies followed, and in 2006 the U6 underground line connected the campus to downtown Munich. The campus is also easily accessible from the highway and Munich Airport. In the future, it will continue to develop into a vibrant "science city".
