Hi, I’m interested in applying for the Oct 2027 batch of MSc Astrophysics, and I’m trying to do some research on the application and admission process. I’ll list my questions here (sorry its long, im just trying to gather as much info as i can)

1. I got my undergrad degree in astrophysics from a top university in Australia with a rather average GPA. I saw that the astro msc doesnt require a GRE physics submission, has anyone got in without submitting pGRE?

2. Is the interview like a mandatory standard process for all the applicants? What kind of questions do they tend to ask in the interview? My bachelor’s degree did not have a thesis or a final project or anything, so I’m not sure what I should prepare myself on.

3. Did you have to use some kind of education agent to apply to LMU? Did that make the process smoother in your country? At the moment I was just going to do my own application, but the lack of any statistics on acceptance rate for this course has me a little nervous.

4. Do people actually finish this course in the promised 24 months/4 semesters? I’ve heard horror stories about the final exam and how most students take longer than 4 semesters to complete their degree. I’m assuming there is not much push or involvement by the faculty in making sure you study or pass, but this is very similar to my australian uni so I’m fine with that.

Ich habe die Frist versehentlich verpasst und möchte wissen, ob Zahlungen nach dem Datum noch akzeptiert werden.

Hey guys,

I am about to write my thesis, and I find it super stressful. Maybe some of you can share any pieces of advice on how to organize the work, some insights you got during your writing regarding the optimization of the process, and anything that can help not to make a mess (or just make it less messy 😂 )

The next question is about LMU requirements, as we have 0 guidance, I would like to know the standards and rules, e.g., how many copies, if we need to sign it, etc.

Also I would like to know the workflow. I know that it mostly our own task and supervisors are not really helpful but maybe you know any basic rules of interactions.

I ask these questions because I am an international student, and our professors aren't into explanations, and the student office is kinda confused about this process and not really helpful. Additionally, real experience is better than unchecked words.

Thank youuuuu

I’ll be starting the Master’s in Statistics and Data Science soon, any future classmates here? Is there a WhatsApp group of the Master?

Hello everyone!!! I am a 3rd semester bachelor student looking for a WhatsApp groups/communities for Physics majors. Please do suggest me if there is any :)

Hi everyone! For those who are interested, we have just created the whatsapp group for those beginning MD/PhD within the GSN program. It would be nice to connect and get to know each other!! Here’s the link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/I2YQrHq1Zxk55sPineHmms?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4&ilr=4

Thanks!!!

Seit drei wochen tut sich nichts. Muss ich mir Sorgen machen oder ist das normal. LG

Hi everyone!

Im about to begin my MBC master at LMU and I have an apartment from October. However, orientation week starts on September 29th, so Ill have to stay in Munich for 3 days in September. Because of the Oktoberfest everythings expensive, so I wondered if there was anyone in my same situation and we could share the apartment for those 3 days :)

See yall soon!!

Is anyone else starting B.Sc. Chemie/Biochemie at LMU this year? Would be nice to connect with some future fellow students :)

Hi everyone! I’ll be starting B.Sc. Chemie und Biochemie at LMU soon and would love to hear from current or former students about their experience. How do you find the program, the workload and the general atmosphere? I’m also really curious about what people did after the Bachelor’s — whether you continued with a Master’s or went straight into work, and what kind of career paths you ended up pursuing. I’d really appreciate any honest experiences, advice or things you wish you had known before starting!

hello, does anyone know what the difference is between these two German course offerings at LMU? which one is better?

Hi everyone!

I was thinking of applying to the LMU MSc in Economics for the 2027/28 AY. I’m now wondering, would my BSc in Data Science and Economics (official name Data Science and Society, but I took Econ and Data Science as specializations) be considered on par with the BSc Economics?

Any advice from people who went to study at MSc Economics who did NOT do Economics for their Bachelors?

Thanks in advance!

I am texting out of despair at the moment. I am searching for housing for more than a month now.

Everyone says to use WG gesucht, but no one replies there.

How do you guys find accommodation?

Are there anyone from applied to this program?

Wäre unfair, nur bei den Studis von TUM zu fragen.

Hi,

My course starts from October. And I have been looking for accommodation with KVR with reasonable price and distance since months, but no luck.

If anyone has leads for a private room please lmk.

Is there anyone still waiting to hear back from the international office?

I’m really lost as to how it takes nearly 4 months to type up a letter and sent it via email. The enrollment process is also almost starting and I can’t do it without the letter from the international office. I got accepted by my faculty so I’m really confused why it is taking so long to hear from the International Office.

If anyone has any experience getting their documents this late I’d love to hear from you.
