School of Medicine
„Knowledge creates cure“ – this is the guiding principle of the medicine at TUM. It represents the very close link between medical research and patient care: here, the patient will benefit as directly as possible from new discoveries by physicians and scientists. The patient needs experienced by physicians in their daily work in turn affect the objectives of research projects. Thus physicians and scientists of Klinikum rechts der Isar and TUM School of Medicine work hand in hand in being able to offer both patients of today and those of tomorrow the best possible help.
With this philosophy, medicine at TUM is internationally successful: Klinikum rechts der Isar and TUM School of Medicine together stand for medicine with a worldwide reputation - in patient care, research and education.

School of Education
TUM School of Education is the thirteenth TUM faculty, and the very first faculty in Germany to be dedicated entirely to initial and further training of teachers in the
subjects of mathematics, computer studies, science and technology (the so-called MINT subjects).
The faculty calls itself a School as it is modeled on the professional schools at American universities. Like these, it has the following defining characteristics:
- Interdisciplinary approach: teaching and research are carried out on a cross-disciplinary basis.
- Practically oriented: since there is an extensive cluster of schools, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom from the very beginning.
- Joint appointments: professors from specialist subject departments can also be assigned to the TUM School.
As a separate faculty, TUM School of Education retains its independence within the university and can therefore provide optimum support to meet the needs of trainee teachers.
