TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology
The TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology brings together a global community of researchers from the fields of governance, education, and science and technology studies. Our mission is to enhance the role of social sciences in interdisciplinary research, teaching, and outreach as integral part of TUM’s commitment to Human-Centered Engineering. Through reimagination of technology-focused social sciences in research, education, and practice, we help address some of the world’s biggest challenges, including public health, climate, social justice, and digital transformation.

Study with us to become a teacher for STEM subjects in high school or a teacher in the field of vocational education. You will receive one of the best educations in Germany. This has once again been confirmed by the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking. EDU is one of the best in Germany in the area of teaching and research.
At the Department of Governance, we are interested in institutions, international organizations and economies, as well as in society at large and its real-world and online dynamics.
