This is only the beginning!!
Mistakes in this video:
At 9:46: IEEE ist the shorter one with numbers in brackets [1] and APA ist the longer version.
3:07 - read only abstract, conclusion, and maybe introduction of each paper
3:18 - keep track of info you gather from papers and citations

Great video, great tips! I wish there would be more content like that for my university’s requirements for their essays. Good luck for all the TUM-essay-writers :)
Great Feedback! Highly appreciated :)
Hi Markus, great video!! You didn't talk about using passive or active style, which is more appropiate?
Thanks Markus for the guidance!
Hope we can connect at TUM this winter semester.
hope it worked out for you!
Thank you for your video! Very helpful 🙌 I hope I will study at TUM 🙌
Glad it was helpful :)
Nice video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thaaaaaaamks :D
Thank you for this video!
I hope to get into TUM for a Master after I finished my Bachelor's degree 🔥
good luck to you!!!
happy to know a fellow otter fan!
Hahaha. They're just way to cute
Hey Markus, thanks a lot for this video. Although I finished my essay before this video was out, it was still really helpful and clarified many things.
Can you please clarify one more thing:
Are the admissions for the MiM program on a rolling basis. If yes, how long does it take to get an admission decision after the date of application submission?
I am asking this since I am clearing the cutoff in stage 1 itself and my esaay won't supposed be evaluated except plagiarism check.
Hey Rishik! :) I don't know how long it takes for them to make the decision🤐 but fingers crossed!
Hi Markus,
Thanks for the very informative video. I have a question: While writing an essay, do I need to follow all necessary steps, including the data collection and analysis procedures, similar to a formal research paper or thesis?
I think it's fine if you simply look into some literature and get an overview :)
Hi Markus, I will apply to the chemistry bachelor program and I already finished my essay.
Strangely enough, your essay may only consist of one page at max (I used times new roman 11 since it was a bit too "long" but I didn't want to leave out vital examples) and, at least how I understood it, it will not be graded or relevant in the first stage of the Studienorientierungsverfahren (from what I've understood, I will automatically be accepted in the first stage because of my grades). I personally didn't include sources (I mainly relied on a book from oxford press and knowledged I acquiered during my freetime) since we could write about something we already covered at school and I didn't know how to incorporate sources if the source should basically be your schoolwork (it wasn't exactly the case for me but still).
Would you suggest that I still try to add some sources or should I leave it as it is?
Hello Markus, thank you for this piece. Is it a no no to ever cite from relevant blogs or online articles? Secondly, do tables count for words in the essay? Thank you.
Hey! :)
I mean if it is very relevant and you cannot find the information otherwise it should be okay if the website seems legit. And I am not sure about tables unfortunately...
Good luck! :)
Hi Markus should we include Abstract
I hope you would make a video about Motivation Letter too 🎉
Haha. Unfortunately that is so long ago... 😅 I don't know too much how to write it. My guess would be to state why you are suited and why you want to do the program. :)
Thank you for your video Markus. I have a question, is there any way to find the subject given for past essays in TUM website?
Not that I know of.... sorry
Hi Markus Thank you so much, this was very helpful :) , I was wondering about the abstract and table of contents, if they are mentioned in the instructions do I have to use it? I think for such a short essay it takes so much space:
Language: English
o Style: Essay / Paper, please base your work on an appropriate number of scientific sources
and include a bibliography
o Quoting style: your choice, please use one quoting style consistently
o Font: Times New Roman o Font Size: 12 o Word count: max. 2000 words
o Essay length: maximum 8 pages (including cover page, figures, table of contents and
bibliography)
o Margins: 2 cm
o Line spacing: 1.5
You don't have to do an abstract and a table of contents, when it is not mentioned in the instructions :)
@@markus_rut I have another question please, in the instructions it says Max 2000 words, but it also says Max 8 Pages, right now I have less than the max words and have just enough left for the conclusion, however with the cover page and references it shows 10 pages. Here, which rule stands?, the Max number of words (which I am following), or the max number of pages?
I wonder for master program the cost issue just hundred eur. Where can I check the exact full program cost?
Hi, thank you for your video, I wanted to know:
1) do you think that an abstract is necessary?
2) do you think it is useful to add all the additional sources to gain an initial knowledge about a certain topic, for example TED speeches, youtube videos or podcasts?
Thank you so much
Hi Samu! :)
Imo an abstract is not necessary and I would not add the additional sources :)
@@markus_rut Thank you, and do you think that I can copy and past a graph from another source if I am practically unable to access the raw data and create the graph by myself?
@@samu_giabardo you can normally just copy it, but make sure to put the reference there ;)
Can you also share a real sample for tum
Hello :) thank you very much for this video, helped me a lot to calm a bit and structure the work more!
I have a question due to finding guidelines for essays at different faculties (namely architecture - for the Urbanistik Programme). There is unfortunately very little information/guidance given on the website.
→ Basicaly: "ein in englischer oder deutscher Sprache nach wissenschaftlichen Standards abgefasster Aufsatz von mindestens 3000 Zeichen zu einem urbanistischen Thema; oder ein in englischer oder deutscher Sprache nach wissenschaftlichen Standards abgefasstes Exposé von mindestens 3000 Zeichen zu einer eigens gewählten urbanistischen Fragestellung" = citation from the Description of the Aptitude Assessment and nothing more to find :/
I understand it so, that topic is very much up to us to choose and the writing standart is probably expected similar to the one you showed us in the video (Times New Roman, font 12 size,..) Would you say it is safe to think about it this way or should i rather try to contact someone for further informations?
Hey! :)
I am pretty sure that it is the way you just said, but ob the other hand an Email takes only 1 Minute to write, so.... :D just ask them ;))
But I understand it the way you explained it :)
@@markus_rut Thank you :))
Hey, for Master in Management program, the maximum points for essay are 40. How much on average do students score for their essay. I need a minimum of 20 points given my GPA.
Unfortunately I don't know what the average is. Sry!
I was a bit confused how to structure my essay, they require discussion from companies and customer perspective, and also from technical, economic and social perspective. What will be your approach in this case?
I am not applying so I am not very deep in this context, but from a first glance, I personally would structure it in tech, econ and social perspectives and then include Information from both comoanies and customers in each of these fields, but that would just my spontaneous answer :)
@@markus_rut Thanks, nice video btw
@@thuongphan470 love to hear that!
It is mentioned as essay, but would you consider it to be a short research paper or as a proposal for research?
an essay/short research literature review :)

Thanks for letting me know. In my case it did work 🤔
i have to write an essay for aerospace admissions with word limit of 500-700 i m confused can you suggest me the headings
yeah, as the title of the video says it is for the TUM SOM (SOM = School of Management), so this is not relevant for aerospace :D
Sir, I am from india studying in 2nd year of bachelor of computer applications. It is a 3-year program, consisting of 120 credits. A masters at TUM requires 140 credits in a 3-year program. How can i cover those 20 credits? Is there any solution for this....
Hey there! Unfortunately I don't know about that... maybe contact TUM directly
Do they ask for essay when applying for bachelors too?
For a Bachelor it is not necessary :)
Hii. Unfortunately, I watched this video AFTER submitting my essay. I am nervous I won't pass the plagiarism check. I did cite all the sources and did not use any paraphrasing software.
I hope you get in. Fingers crossed!
It will detect palagarism since they are using very powerful palagarism tools.
Thanks, i need help to get admission in TUM. Please help me.
Hey, unfortunately I cannot help you with this, but I wish you good luck! Fingers crossed!
Is essay is mendatory for getting admission in TUM
Nope. Not for TUM in general. It depends on the program you choose. On the website of the program you want to pursue you can find the details about which documents are required for application.
makes me wanna write an essay ngl 😂
You are lying🤣🤣
wa saaaaaaaaaa
Wa saaaaa
This is good, but honestly, very pretentious
mh. thanks for your feedback
