Singapore [15 April 2025] – Technical University of Munich (TUM) Asia is pleased to announce its upcoming relocation to two new campuses at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), from May 2025.
The relocation allows TUM Asia to align more closely with NTU and SIT, fostering deeper academic and research collaborations. Undergraduate students will be based at SIT@Punggol, while graduate students will have their classes at NTU*, ensuring tailored experiences that best support their academic journey.
A New Chapter for Innovation and Collaboration
The move places TUM Asia students in the heart of two of Singapore’s most advanced university ecosystems:
- NTU’s The Hive: A renowned architectural landmark that supports active learning through collaborative spaces and advanced teaching facilities for master’s programme students.
- SIT@Punggol: A hub for applied research and industry partnerships, situated within the Punggol Digital District, where students can engage in real-world innovation alongside leading industry players.
Beyond infrastructure, this transition reinforces TUM Asia’s commitment to encouraging a vibrant, interdisciplinary, and connected academic community. Students and faculty will have access to collaborative spaces that encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, and knowledge exchange.
“As we expand into NTU and SIT, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships, advancing research collaborations, and providing an enriched learning experience for our students,” said Dr. Markus Wächter, Managing Director of TUM Asia. “This move marks an exciting new chapter in our journey ever since TUM Asia was set up in 2002, bringing us closer to our partners and enabling us to contribute even more effectively to Singapore’s innovation and education landscape.”
TUM Asia remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition for students, faculty, and partners. Further details, including upcoming events, logistical information, updated contact points, and FAQs, will soon be made available on our website.
*Existing graduate studies classes at NTU will not be impacted, and selected classes (MSc in Industrial Chemistry) will continue to be conducted at NUS as part of our joint programmes.
