It was an incredible opportunity to experience German education firsthand, especially within the Department of Engineering and Management. The focus on practicality and collaboration helped me grow in ways I didn’t know I needed. Beyond academics, Munich is a beautiful, lively, walkable city I’ve come to love. The gardens, baroque architecture, and bakeries on every corner create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The combination of HM’s academic excellence and this safe, vibrant, well-connected city has made my time here truly unforgettable.

My time in Munich was unforgettable. There were always fun things to do, like going to museums and festivals. My stay at HM was great, I found all my classes extremely interesting and I had great professors that encouraged participation and always offered support. In addition, the International Office staff was always kind and helpful. I decided to go to Munich because I love German culture and I wanted to experience life in Germany. I was so lucky to find in HM the perfect match for my programme. I loved learning German, the Christmas markets and snow-covered Munich. It was an amazing experience!

Being able to live in Munich for five months was an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Germany may not seem as appealing as other exotic destinations but I can promise you that it is going to change. Before you know it, you will fall in love with this city – because a stay in Munich has so much to offer! There are some memories I cherish more than others: Oktoberfest, going to a Bayern Munich soccer game, sunbathing in the English Garden or drinking Glühwein at the Weihnachtsmarkt. I chose Munich as a place to study first of all because of its location and secondly because of its economic infrastructure. Famous companies like BMW or Siemens have their headquarters in Munich. The International Office is really efficient, tries its best to answer all of your questions and to give you advice. Moreover, you will be matched with a local student from HM who will help you if needed. My German buddy became a close friend and we are still in touch.

A professor from HM noticed me at my home university in Italy and suggested I complete my master’s thesis with him in Munich. Since childhood, I had dreamed of visiting Germany, so this was a perfect opportunity. Although I didn’t know much about Munich beforehand, I quickly discovered it’s one of the best cities to live in. As an Erasmus+ Traineeship student, I faced more bureaucratic challenges than regular Erasmus+ students, but I received tremendous support from my advisor, his assistant, and my office colleague. The International Club (a group of HM students) organizes fantastic events and trips, blending culture, sports, and fun while exploring all Germany has to offer. The smiles and shared moments with people from all over the world are memories I’ll never forget.

Before starting at HM, I spent a year at Studienkolleg Coburg, which helped me significantly improve my German, allowing me to follow lectures without language barriers from day one. I also had to learn how to study effectively – like understanding exam formats and figuring out the best ways to prepare. In other words, these are topics that concern all students starting their studies. I chose HM because I’m fond of Bavaria, and the university has a strong reputation. I also appreciate Munich for its many job opportunities and the wide range of leisure activities the city offers, such as hiking and skiing.

The students at HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences are always provided with 100% information. This is something I really like.
Brittany O'Neill, USA
My first impression of Munich was an extremely safe environment in a fairly large city. There were so many opportunities for places to see, people to meet and areas to practice my German. I was greeted warmly by the welcome buddy HM prepared for me. She really helped me in getting settled and finding my way through the bureaucratic difficulties. HM has been very supportive! The international office has a wonderful team that has taught me a lot of things that I will bring back to my home university in Philadelphia.

I visited Munich as a child during Oktoberfest, and I really enjoyed it. Since Germany and HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences excel in my field of study, cartography, it was very important for me to pursue my education here.
