The Munich University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1971 by the amalgamation of seven colleges of technology and higher education, some of which date back to the early 19th century. Today it is the largest university of its kind in Bavaria and one of the largest in Germany. Its great variety of well-structured study programmes, the instruction in small groups, its internationality and excellent contacts with industry and commerce make UASM a highly renowned university.

Approximately 475 professors, 750 part-time lecturers with industry background and more than 745 technical and administrative staff are working to provide almost 17,500 students with the best education for their future careers. For the winter semester of 2008/09, MUAS received more than 30,000 applications for ca. 3,500 places, which is 43% more than the previous year.

Munich is one of the leading economic regions in Europe and renowned for its educational landscape.

In this environment the University of Applied Sciences - München developed a high-quality, differentiated, and application-oriented programme.
