INDUSTRY PARTNERS


TUM Asia strongly believes in establishing and maintaining strong relationships with our industry partners.

Having partners who are extremely supportive about the quality and rigour of our academic curriculum is crucial to the success of our university. The TUM name stands for industry excellence and close cooperation with companies and scientific partners all over the world. Singapore is no different, being home to numerous German and European companies who have established research institutes and regional headquarters here, and is one of Germany’s largest trade partners in the region.

Providing a robust educational foundation that is highly attuned to industry needs have resulted in a pipeline of talent from the university to the industry. TUM Asia is constantly striving to keep her curriculum relevant, with the help of professors who are well-established in modern day research and hails a wealth of experience from the industry. This has resulted in numerous career, internship and scholarship opportunities for our students.

Throughout the years, TUM Asia is proud to have formed a strong network of industrial partners who belong to the top aerospace, chemical, logistics and semiconductors industries in the world.

TWO-WAY PARTNERSHIP

A partnership works two ways. At TUM Asia, we believe that the industry needs the universities as much as the universities are supported by the industry. Research, technological advances or new ideas are first developed at the academic level. The brightest brains start at university. Therefore, TUM Asia regularly organize sessions with the industry to keep our partners attuned to the trends and changes in the scientific arena.

  • Scientific Talks
  • Speaker Series (Industry-Academia collaboration)
  • Guest Lectures at Companies
  • Joint Research Projects
  • Research Symposiums and more

Dieter_Jahn-200x300 “BASF has had the pleasure to partner TUM Asia from the very beginning. It was a pleasure to support TUM Asia because the quality of the graduates are excellent and we are very happy with them. They are working in very diverse jobs and I am proud to see that they are making their career in BASF. TUM Asia provides an internationalized environment for graduates to gain valuable experience as you have students who are born in other countries who come to Singapore to study and then go to Munich to intern/conduct research. It makes them even more sensitive to internationalization and that is an additional advantage of this programme.”
Prof. Dr. Dieter Jahn
Senior Vice President (Science Relations and Innovation Management), BASF

ulf1-253x300 “Today’s generation of students are amongst the first to grow up very natural with advanced digital technology and this technology has changed the way we view knowledge, access to information and relate to the world.Education needs to successfully capture both the incredible possibilities for deep learning opportunities that new technologies can offer, as well as prepare students to cope with the amount and speed of information at their fingertips.With that in mind, TUM has been able to consistently differentiate itself by shaping their education curriculum, to fit into the ever-changing industrial needs, allowing students to be equipped with the relevant foundation for the working climate.As universities are a major resource to any organisation’s innovation strategy, it has been our privilege and honour to work for almost a decade now alongside one of the best European universities on many different areas. The joint Industrial PhD Programme which we have just started with TUM Asia and TUM is just another highlight of this collaboration which will bring our education and qualification ambitions in Singapore to new heights.”
Mr Ulf Schneider

“Our current partnerships include internship programmes and recruitment collaborations with TUM Asia. We are also exploring stronger collaborations through TUM Asia’s industry scholarships and PhD programmes.
