A Day in the Life of a TUM Computer Science Student
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- This video is for all of you that miss the uni life at TUM. Also for those of you that are unable to visit TUM before applying.
I have been thinking for a long time whether I should even post this video. But I think now is the perfect time. So I got over my self doubt and did it.

A vlog like this is really inspiring! Seeing how productive you are in a given day really makes me push myself. Keep these videos up!
Don't push too hard. At that time I actually felt like maybe it was a little bit too much😇
Pls,is there any African schooling in TU Munich,free university of Berlin or University of Freiburg,if you are one or have contact with one(any African),I will need your help to prepare myself,I'm looking forward to study mechanical engineering.
Thank you.
I really loved the video . It's amazing ,wonderful. Nice vlog
Great video man, I appreciate that you let us get to know, how the life of a student at TUM looks like. You just motivated me to apply to the TUM next year. Good job, please keep creating these videos!
your videos are so addictive! start making them again please😭
I wish there were more vlogs like this for more universities.
Awesome video!!! Thank u for sharing, I hope I get to study there one day
Man I really liked this vlog, I think it is the best on of TUM until now, it really shows the life froma 1st person perspective. We can see the rooms, the time of the courses. Thanks a lot for this video I hope I get accepted this month at the TUM.
Thanks a lot. Wish you best of luck!
What did you apply for?
@@developandplay I applied to Elektrik-und Informationstechnik
right I also watch all videos related to tum but not found yet really campus video I like this video I hope u made lots of video related to tum
@@diegoortega7512 hey ! did you get accepted ?
@@schruteman7444 yes I’m studying right now and hope this presence semester will be a lot better !
I'm so in love with this university. I wish I could study there :)
I liked that vlog. Very detailed and simple.
Awesome Vlog.....Big Thanks Bro❤
I really enjoy this video -> Good Work
Great job! Thank you so much for making this video. I really hope I can study there some day!
Thank you! Hope it works out for you.
Do you want to do your Bachelor, Master or PhD here?
@@developandplay Thanks! I would like to do Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. I have been working on my german so I can study there.
@@ahilansureshkumar4256 That's awesome. At TUM we have very few Indian Bachelor students. I always wondered why... Most just come here for their Master.
@@developandplay Really? Must be because Bachelors is in German. I get it cuz I have been learning german for years and I am still not very good😅.
@@ahilansureshkumar4256 If you come here for your Bachelor you will make a lot of local friends and can do internships at local companies. Both are more difficult if you just do a Masters or PhD. So hope you get in😌
Nice video. Also so many people and places that I know... Aaaargh. Now I miss the Pre-Corona University again! Nostalgia is real...
(Maybe we'll post a Link to this on the FSMPI social media channels.)
Mein Sohn geht für das Sommersemester 2023 an die TMU. Danke für den tollen Einblick:)
Great vlog! And this is a beautiful campus. Quite sad I didn’t make it to Germany to attend my program in TUM. 🥺
Its such a beautiful Campus at Garching. Looking forward to starting my studies in october.
Absolut schöner Vlog, bitte film mehr über deine Person und dein Studium, du bist mir jetzt schon sehr sympathisch!
+1
It is the best vlog of tum tq bro for making video
Great video, greetings from Finland.
Awesome video. I'm studying CS in Slovenia, happy to see a realistic CS student vlog .
Hey, I'm interested to study CS in Slovenia as well. In which university are you studying and what's your opinion about it?
@@ivaylailieva7891 I'm studying at FRI (in Ljubljana). Its difficult, but I've learned a ton about CS these past 2 years and would choose it again.
@@shogunisheremistaa3432 Is it taught in English?
@@ivaylailieva7891 i don't think so, i think some individual courses are taught in english, but programmes are not
@@shogunisheremistaa3432 Alright, thanks for the information!
I joined back in 2020 Sep during Corona. But I saw the old Mensa for the first time thanks to your video :)
Man, this looks so cool! My dream is to study in Germany for a master's degree as I am currently studying CS in my country. Seeing this type of videos really motivate and sparks joy in me.
Where are you currently studying?
@@developandplay Indonesia, a bit far from Germany lol
@@begejekan1244 hey, I'm a computer science student and currently studying in Indonesia too:)
Me too am Doing Cs but Diploma
thanks to made this video , iwas searching it, thanks❤
Awesome video bro! Ich habe diesen Vlog gesehen, als ich meinen Motivationsschrieben für Meister der Fahrzeugtechnik geschrieben habe. Jetzt bin ich hoch motiviert und weiß was ich schreiben soll!
Hallo bruder! I'm currently in 11th standard from India I also want to study in Germany. I wanted ask that how you got your German proficiency certificate. Do I have to give the testDaf exam only or there are other exams i have to clear along with that?
It's awesome bro, I really like to study CS at TUM. Would love to see more videos about it
Thank you!
Well currently everything is remote and I'm busy studying. Maybe in Fall we can return back to university.
@@developandplay sure, thanks bro
Do they teach that in english
@@developandplayPls,is there any African schooling in TU Munich,free university of Berlin or University of Freiburg,if you are one or have contact with one(any African),I will need your help to prepare myself,I'm looking forward to study mechanical engineering.
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video. Would you like to make a video on how you got into TUM sharing your stats and LORs and essays... Much love from India. I can only dream of getting into such a prestigious college. Fingers crossed for my CS Masters.
Thank you! I don't think I'm the best person to create such a video as I'm still doing my Bachelor and transitioning from TUM Bachelor to Master is easier than external application. However when I'm doing my Masters I'll definitely talk to my classmates to find out how the application worked for them.
I wish you good luck with your application. It's a great university but there definitely lot's of other good universities in the world!
That Tanenbaum Book on Networks is really great.
Yes I also think so. It's one of those rather readable books in CS...
This video is a real Day in the Life video, so detailed yet precise at the same time :)
Wow! a great video!
AWESOME VIDEO BRO REALLY LIKE IT .
I HAVE DOUBT ABOUT THIS THAT IN COURSE LIKE COMPUTER SCIENCE FULL COURSE IN GERMAN OR COMBINED ENGLISH +GERMAN.
Thats so cool your making a chat application here. I'm also a computer science student, but i'm based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Were also making a chat application, next week i'm in my second semester now will be done in january 2023, will be in 3rd semester in june
Good luck bro. Hope you have a good future (saying this even though I'm in grade 9 and alot younger then you)
Hardwell the best! More TUM vlogs please!
Really awesome vlog👍
Thanks.🙌
Planning to do my masters or bachelor in TUM.
Good going👍👍👍
It's Helpful... Please make many videos about TUM..!
What are some things you would be interested in?
How to get into TUM and explore it.. and also make a video about Mechatronics and Robotics in TUM
Sure...That really depends on the subject that you want to study and also whether you are Bachelor/Master and local/foreign student.
I could interview some friends that are studying Robotics, Coginition and Intelligence if you are interested in that.
@@developandplay Thanks a lot...! I am currently doing my bachelor's in mechatronics engineering. so I want to know about the masters about that.!
@@yoganandhana889 Are you doing your Bachelor's in mechatronics engineering in Germany or elsewhere? Your answer would be really helpful because I've been searching for Bachelors in Mechatronics engineering but couldn't find much; they were mostly masters degrees.
I want to join this university after 4 years and I am worrying that I can't get classmate like u 💜.luv frm India 🥰. superb vlog
Thank you. I'm sure you'll find some good friends when you come here. Especially now that the pandemic is slowly ending it will be a lot easier to find friends again.
amazing
Danke from PERÚ 🇵🇪
Finally! A good vlog at TUM :) I have 2 questions: 1) is informatik and cs the same? If not, which one do you recommend? 2) are there cs/informatik classes at the main building in Munich?
Thanks in advance and greetings from South Africa!
Yes in Germany and some other European countries we call CS Informatics.
Unfortunately all of the classes are at the campus in Garching. However the majority of the lectures are recorded or even live streamed so you don't have to go there every single time.
As a foreign student I'm a bit interested about German universities. Do you also do group/team projects or maybe is it obligatory to have a student club? What is Übung and Seminar?
Hii, What an amazing video!! By the way, can i know how did you get into TUM?
How much time you spend in your university while being physically present there and on which weekdays?
Wie viel Zeit verbringst du an deiner Hochschule, während du dort physisch präsent bist und an welchen Wochentagen?
hey can you give a tour of TUM Olympia Park campus tour?
Great video! Can I ask you, how do you know how to get around the university (and know which building to go to etc.)?
Usually the buildings are fairly self explanatory or you can just ask some fellow student. In addition we also have a "room finder" on our website and in our app.
was it hard for you to go to this university? I mean the admission requirements and such?
does the university have bachelors in computer science? (in english) if yes, what are the requirements after finishing 12 grade in another country?
Hello, thank you for this video (I know it's been three years) 😅
So, my friend would be going to Germany in September and he is into online trading (forex, stocks, etc...) Would it be legal of him to take that up as a non-EU/EEA student in Germany?
Sir, I'm a PCB (bio group) student in 12th. I want to study bachelor in CS in German taught program. Is it possible? For this what should I study alongside studdienkolleg to be eligible for CS course ?
hey, hey! i just decided to apply for bachelor's degree in TUM informatics but somehow I am afraid of competition. can you suggest me how can I boost chances to get a place? in addition, how about the interview phase, was it hard? what type of questions are usually asked. ps. thanks for the video!
For the Bachelor's program it's all about the grades and German skills. If you went a school which is officially recognized in Germany you should be fine. Otherwise there is Studienkolleg to prepare you for German universities. For the questions it's all about your motivation, first experiences of computer science, knowledge of math and whether you have an idea what the degree is about. So in general things you would know if you are curious about computer science and TUM.
Hi! I just wanna say your video is really helpful and amazing. I intended to go study bachelor in Informatics at TUM. I did research and saw Internships as a document to apply. Do you think Internships play a big role in my application since i didnt have one?
I think for your Bachelors it shouldn't be a big factor. Quite a few people never have done anything with CS at that point. Just make sure to get good grades in high school and get a good level of German skills. Oh and I would check if your high school diploma is officially recognized in Germany. Otherwise you might need to go to Studienkolleg first.😌
I hope that helps feel free to ask more questions...
Thank you for answering, it helps a lot
Thats amazing information about Technical University of Munich: ua-cam.com/video/NG82k4laeZQ/v-deo.html
Krass dass ich dein Video jetzt nochmals schaue. Ich wurde von TUM aufgenommen zum diesen Wintersemester yayy ^^
That's really cool, hoping to comment something similar soon
For applying in computer science for Bachelor which option to choose from course list as there is not defined directly computer science i have seen an option for computational Engineering. Looking for the clarification which option to choose at tum to study as computer science student there.
in what languages are the courses taught in?
ps. loved the video! :)
german
German and English depends on the professor and lecture
One day I will be there soon......
Bro do they have English lectures for comp science engg course? And is it mandatory to study German??? Pls reply brother
You spend so much time on transportation! Is it common within the students? I've found a room which is also very far and not sure if I should take it or keep looking
I would say it's fairly common. Most people don't want to live in Garching so the minimum travel time is about 20m from Studentenstadt. Then add to that any additional travel and you easily get to 30-60m.
Nice vlog and could you tell me the process and requirements to do masters in computer science in TUM.
I added the information in the video description. If you have more questions feel free to ask.
T é só isso tô te esperando aqui no centro agora
Hello I want to apply for bachelor's degree in TUM but I don't now German, is there any English degree programs for engineering or computer science?
My dream institute 😄😍
Bro I have some Questions.please kindly reply them. First of all, do I need to learn c1 to get admitted into computer science for bechelor ?
If I just done A2 can I get admission in bechelor ?
I also wanted to know about the accommodation in costs in Munich.
Hey, great video, thanks for the insights. What‘s your opinion on Informatics: Games Engineering at TUM?
It's a very unique and solid program in Germany.
Most of the curriculum is the same as Informatics so if you decide later to switch for Masters you can.
@@developandplay Thanks for the response!
please make mor detailed video about your programm
I found this vlog really nice because I really want to study at TUM. What do you think are some of the privileges of studying in this prestigious university?
Haha you make it sound like sooo special. I would say it's a great university which has connections to partner institutions and companies all over the world. However when it comes to the curriculum other German universities should be just as good.
Hi, schönes Video mit tollen Eindrücken! Ich bin am überlegen ob ich auch an der TUM Informatik studieren sollte, jedoch habe ich keine Vorkenntnisse im programmieren. Glaubst du, dass es für sehr schwer wird ohne Vorkenntnisse im programmieren?
Also es ist auf jeden Fall gut ohne Vorkenntnisse möglich. Einige meiner Freunde haben komplett ohne Vorkenntnisse gestartet. Natürlich war es für sie teils anspruchsvoller, aber programmieren macht auch nicht so einen großen Anteil aus, wie du das vielleicht meinst...
Do you think i need GRE for applying to master in computer science and is it diffcult to gian accept of this uni do i need high GPA?
For undergraduate ,the courses are in german. I dropped my plan to study there as an international student because of it
They launched an English pilot program but yes majority is in German.
Hello! Can you tell me when it was shot? I heard all classes this summer semester is being held online?
I got into MS in Informatik at TUM and am going to join this WiSe, but I think most classes will be online.
I recorded the video one year ago. Hope we can all return to our courses in Fall.
Hey. From what I heard they are going to hold as many classes as possible in person. BUT if you don’t have a visa they said that international students won’t get new visas until this whole pandemic thing clears up so depending on that it is possible that you might end up having to take classes online.
@@TUMunich Yes the current stance is that next semester will start online unfortunately. That being said it also means less hassle for international students...
Awesome video.
Just one question, where do you live,in Munich or somewhere in between Munich or Garching?
I'm living in Munich and before the pandemic it took me like 40-50m to get to the CS campus.
2:46 wtf he is doing here?
Lol😂
Am Dream is to study in Germany for both my Degree and Master at the moment am doing Diploma in Cs
Exciting! What was your GPA when you was enrolling in the uni?
For Bachelors A- and for Masters B. As long as you are slightly above average it should be fine.
Hey Man! How hard is it get to Masters in Software Engineering (English Taught Course)? Do other students speak English over there?
I don't know any of the students. If you look at the website they accept less than 20 students each semester. So it's probably the most competitive of all CS degrees TUM offers...
Hey, how do you see how many students are accepted per degree?
Hi, pls clear a confusion 4 me. Inside the classroom the Lecturer is given in English language or in German language ?
That computer science is engineering course or BSc course.
What is the difference about computer science engineering course and computer science course in Germany
Please all the guys I need your help. Please please please explain this
Same alarm ringtone 😁
Awesome video. May I ask you a question? Can you go to TUM if you're only 17 years old?
Yes you can. One of my friends started at age 17 just like you.
Is that THE LIV library you were sitting at?
Hello. I have one question I would like to ask. I plan to apply for an Aerospace course at TUM as it is taught in English. However, there are other courses which are only available in German that I find more interesting. I currently study German at school and when I get out of school it will be at minimum B2 quality, maybe reaching c1 if I do well enough. I know B2 is the minimum requirement to take a course taught in German, but I would like to know if i will be able to comfortably cope with being taught in German in a course I find more interesting, or if it’s better taking a less interesting course, like Aerospace, which is taught in English.
The friends of mine that came to Germany with b2 level of German were struggling a bit in the first semester with lectures taught in German. However after a semester you should be fine. You can just try it when you are here.
@@developandplay thank you for the information. I think I may end up applying for one of the courses I find more interesting that is taught in German then.
Can I apply for Studienkolleg with B1 pls
TUM is my dream uni!!!!!!!!
hey, i just got admitted and was wondering if a mac would be okay for informatik?
Congrats!
Yes your operating system doesn't matter. Some professors are Linux fanboys so ypu might need a VM in your second year...
Reis hangi notlarla başvurdun? Ben de başvuracağım bu sene de merak ettim cevaplarsan sevinirim
@@alp4119 başvurdun mu ?
Wäre so interessant mehr deiner Erfahrungen im studium zu hören. Vlt. Ein Podcast, oder einfach ein langes video. Egal, finde es gibt leider viel zu wenig Erfahrungsberichte und mit corona fällt es mir schwer mich für ein Studium zu entscheiden da man ja nirgends wirklich einen guten Einblick bekommen kann.
Wenn ich in den Semesterferien dazu Zeit finde kann ich das gerne mal probieren. Wobei so ohne in der Uni zu sein ist es schwieriger das authentisch zu vermitteln. Ich kann dir im Allgemeinen die TUM nur empfehlen, aber die ersten beiden Semester sind je nach Vorkenntnissen relativ anstrengend.
This vlog was really helpful! Im planning on studying in Germany for bachelors im currently on B2 level aiming to reach c2 but I dont know if it would be enough to understand the courses as they’re taught in german,
What do you think? Is it too difficult to understand if its not your main language?
I have quite a few international friends who started in Germany with b2-c1 level. The first year they had quite a few struggles but these days they are completely fine. So definitely go for it if you think it's interesting...
How long did it take you to reach B2
@@notabot5878 The most talented friend of mine did it in a year. But 2+ years is more likely.
@@developandplay thanks a lot for replying and btw I am planning on taking a bachelor's course in AI-ML, so which course should I take
@@notabot5878 To be honest I'm not an expert on that topic. I don't think AI-ML courses are considered mandatory at any uni so just take a course that's interesting to you.
I am starting at TUM this semester
what i expected at my first semester at tum and all i got is onlie courses and spending the whole day at home failing everything :(((
Yeah I totally get your frustration. I'm currently also super bummed 😓 about the situation. Though at least for your exams there is still some room for improvement...So don't give up yet. You can do it if you put in the work!
@Aidan no
That was a nice video! I had a question, If I don't know German can I come to Germany and learn German and then join TUM if I satisfy other criterias?I am an Indian btw. I'd be really glad for your help!
Yes you can definitely do that. I don't know how old you currently are but there are multiple options. If you are still in school I would recommend learning some German on the side or going to a German school if possible. If you are soon to be done then you could either try to go to Studienkolleg for one year or do an apprenticeship for 2-3 years and then start your degree. It all depends on your age, how good your German is and how quickly you want to start university!
@@developandplay Thank you for your responding! I just checked the preparatory study at the studienkolleg www.tum.de/en/studies/application/preparatory-study-at-the-studienkolleg/ , it says that we need to have at least level B2 german qualification and this is really confusing me. Maybe I am interpreting it wrong, so can you guide me on how and where to apply for what you've told earlier. I am really sorry for troubling you so much and Thank you tons for helping me out!
@@ankitprajapati5585 Yes all of the above require some level of German that's why I said it depends on how much time you have left until graduation. Just for reference getting to B2 can require somewhere between 1 to 3 years of studying depending on how much time you dedicate to it. Studienkolleg might not even be necessary for you if your grades are really good. Additionally some German universities offer English Bachelor programs.
If you start an apprenticeship you will have a lower German requirement. But it takes about 2-3 years to finish.
Of course going to a German high school in India would probably be your best and quickest option if that's possible. But don't feel like you can't learn German yourself. A few friends did that and it worked out really well for them.
@@developandplay That was helpful! Thanks a lot for helping me and I hope I get to meet you someday!
I thought the course was entirely in English!
But, the slides are being in German.
Machst Du ein duales Studium? Sind die Lehrgänge immer auf Deutsch? Ich habe einen Plan, Informatik zu studieren und ich weiß eigentlich nicht, ob ich doch noch meine Deutschkentnisse verbessern soll oder ob ich mich jetzt direkt anmelden.
Übrigens bin ich einen Ausländer, aber ich hab schon die B2 Zertifikat. (Weiß auch nicht, ob hier die C1 Zertifikat erforderlich ist)
Nein ich mache ein normales Studium. An der TUM ist der Bachelor Informatik in München auf Deutsch. Es gibt auch in Heilbronn einen Englischen Studiengang.
Wenn du bereits B2 Deutsch kannst dann würde ich dir empfehlen in München zu studieren. Es wird anfangs schwieriger sein, aber es hilft dir in der Zukunft in Deutschland...
Hey developandplay,
how do you estimate the costs of living in munich as a CS student? It's obviously more expensive than other cities, but what do you think?
I want to study next year maybe at TUM!
So far I have been budgeting with about a 1000€ a month quite comfortably. But I heard recently that for some friends that it's a bit more difficult. If you get student housing or a good deal for an apartment it should be easily possible.
@@developandplay hey daevelopandplay thanks for the insightful video. Can you please recommend some legit websites that I can use to find housing in Munich?
Its a great university. Can you please tell me how important the knowledge of german language skills is for international students to get admission here?
It depends on your subject. Some are tought in German so you need a high proficiency. Some are taught in English so it's not strictly necessary but recommended to learn German.
@@developandplay i want to join TUM for my masters in Electrical Engineering
@@ubaidhunts Electrical Engineering itself is taught in German. However there are more specialized programs taught in English. www.ei.tum.de/en/international-study-programs/graduate/
Bro i really need your help I want to pursue same course and in same college
i have a question , i didn't find on there website a bachelor degree in cs i only found masters and another question here in my country the bachelor degree is usually 4 years and in germany it's 3 years and that making me worrying that it will affect me in job opportunities so it that true and what is the explanation and thank you
The Bachelor degree is taught in German that's probably why you couldn't find it. The 3 years is common in the UK and some other European countries so I don't think it would be an issue.
Sehr gutes Video, vielen Dank! Eine kleine Frage noch: Welche Betriebssysteme nutzen die Professoren und nutzn viele Leute auch Macs?
Danke! Hängt ganz davon ab: Sowohl bei den Studenten als auch bei den Professoren sind alle drei Betriebssysteme beliebt. Linux wird dir auf jeden Fall mal begegnen, bei Computerspielen auch Windows und bei iOS Entwicklung auch mal MacOS...Such dir das aus, womit du selbst am Besten zurecht kommst...Einzig die neuen Macs mit ARM sind momentan vllt noch nicht ganz so perfekt.
@@developandplay ok vielen Dank für deine Antwort. Ich glaube ein Windows Linux Kombi ist wahrscheinlich am sinnvollsten. Kannst du deinen Dell XPS empfehlen, sofern du ihn noch nutzt?
@@maxhuppertz1921 Ich kann das XPS leider nicht empfehlen. Letztes Jahr hat er aufgehört zu funktionieren und ich habe dazu auch ein Video hochgeladen. Danach habe ich ein Thinkpad genutzt damit war ich sehr zufrieden...

@@maxhuppertz1921 Also ich kann für Notizen Papier empfehlen ;) Klar kann man sich auch ein Ipad kaufen, aber wenn es nur für Notizen ist halte ich es für eher unnötig...
bro make a video on requirements for studying at tum
I don't know if it's really that exciting of a video topic. Most information is already available on the university homepage. What would you be especially interested in?
bro information about uni-assist , studentkolleg and major requirements for international students who are planning to study at tum.
is computer science means Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) program? because I just found that program when apply
CSE is a Masters program at the intersection of applied Math, CS and engineering. It's mainly focused on scientific computing. So for example simulation of weather.
Informatics and Computer Science are more similar. Informatics has both Bachelor and Masters programs.
In the Informatiks Major, do we study any Maths? Like calc, linear Aljab and others?
Yes you will learn that.
Hello....hope you're having a nice day?appreciate your good works..
Please is computer science being taught in English at T.U.M!! would be happy to hear from you,thank you
Bachelor program is taught in German but Masters is in English. Learning German is definitely advised if you want to live and work here though...
Quick question, I am on B1 level german and planning to start my undergraduate in mechanical engineering next year, that mean I need to do b1-c1 in 9 months or so..I'm just curious are there any international people going their bachelor's in German taught being Ausländer? And if yes, is that really hard? Looking forward for your honest option. Anyway man I love this VLOG!!
Next year in TUM *
Yes it will be hard. But I have a couple of friends that did exactly that. Some of them needed to take an extra year at university but that's no big deal. I need one as well haha...
@@developandplay Extra year after or before the 1st year? Also aren't you native? You sounds native though.!
@@HardikKundalwal Just one year longer in university. Yes I'm a German native but I went abroad and did lot's of internships on the side so that's why I also need an additional year in uni. As I said it's no big deal. Most students need one semester longer and a few like me even a year...
@@developandplay Is that studienkolleg you're talking about? Or like an extension year to balance studies?
Hii! Ive been doing more research into universities in Germany and I love the course they have to offer in this one. Is getting into TUM very competitive?
Also Do you by any chance know if I have to take the IELTS or some kind of college entrance exam if I graduated from a high school in america to apply for a bachelor's program in this university?
Sorry for the lot of questions but also when do you think I should start applying for universities?(I graduate high school in May of 2022)
Well it is competitive to an extent but most programs don't have a fixed number of spots. So generally the idea is that you don't need to be the best student but a good student in high school. Some programs even have interviews in case you don't have the grades but can show your interest in the subject.
For the Bachelors programs the admissions usually close by mid July (this year they extended it to end of July). Some programs that are not as competitive (e.g. physics) have admissions up to mid September. Make sure to check the TUM website for the program you are interested in.
For all of the programs you have to get an official translation of your transcript to German. Also you need to make sure your high school diploma is considered equal to the German one. If I remember correctly this is true for the US but make sure to check that. For the programs that are taught in German (unfortunately most of them for undergrad) you also need to hand in a proof of German proficiency. Apart from that you just need your regular things like motivation letter and resume. Most programs don't require any letters of recommendation for undergrad.
Feel free to ask more questions! I hope you get into the program you really like.
Oh I misread this as May of 2021...If you graduate in 2022 I would consider learning German because it will give you more flexibility in terms of subjects and universities.
It might be intense but I know a few friends that got the required level within a year. Of course once you enter university here it might still be tough but after about another year you will feel just like any other student.
