Scientific dialogue

The Oskar von Miller Forum creates excellent framework conditions to stimulate scientific discussion between committed university students, students from higher level trade schools and visiting scientists, also beyond the boundaries of their own particular field. The Bavarian construction industry’s educational initiative provides stimulus for the education of engineers in the faculties of architecture, civil engineering and surveying at the Technical University of Munich. As regards the building trade, partnership relations are also maintained with Munich’s Municipal Technical School for Structural Engineering (Städtische Fachschule für Bautechnik).

Technical University of Munich

Science, technology, medicine and life sciences – this is the scientific spectrum of the prestigious Technical University of Munich (Technische Universität München). Twelve university faculties, institutes and research platforms serve to harness the interdisciplinary know-how of students and scientists and in this way facilitate research to the highest international standards. The Technical University of Munich maintains strong links to similar institutions worldwide and is open to students and scientists from abroad. As a modern, entrepreneur-oriented university, the TUM fosters the diverse talents of students and scientists alike. It thus creates the necessary creative freedom to break new scientific ground and place itself both technologically and scientifically at the service of society.


Municipal Technical School for Structural Engineering of Munich

At the Municipal Technical School for Structural Engineering (Städtische Fachschule für Bautechnik) students who have completed their apprenticeship or vocational qualification or possess at least seven years relevant professional experience have the possibility to qualify as a certified construction technician. Focus of the two-year full-time course is a qualification in either structural or civil engineering. The course enables students who meet the corresponding requirements to take the master craftsmen examinations in bricklaying, concrete building, carpentry and road construction.
