Curricular Analysis NBM M.Sc.
Dear applicant,
in accordance with the Examination and Study Regulations for the Master’s Program Nutrition and Biomedicine (appendix 2a: for applicants with an undergraduate degree within the area of applicability of the Lisbon Convention) the commission uses a curricular analysis to assess your aptitude and the eligibility of your submitted qualifications.
The evaluation is based on elementary subject groups of the Bachelor of Science Program Life Sciences Nutritional Science at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
Kindly fill in the online document listing the subjects you completed in your core studies on the basis of your Transcript of Records. You need to prove a minimum amount of 120 credits (ECTS) completed by the time of your application. Please list these in the respective categories.
The categories of required subjects competencies can be found here:
| Subject competencies Life Sciences Nutritional Sciences TUM | Credits (ECTS) |
|---|---|
| Physics | 7 |
| Inorganic chemistry with practical course | 10 |
| Organic and physical chemistry with practical course | 10 |
| Biochemistry | 8 |
| Mathematics and Statistics | 7 |
| Cell Biology | 3 |
| Genetics | 3 |
| Microbiology | 5 |
| Human / animal physiology | 11 |
| Laboratory practicals (e.g. in biochemistry, microbiology; human / animal physiology, biology etc.) | 8 |
| Total | 72 |
You can receive a maximum of 30 points for the Curricular Analysis if you can prove 72 Credits (ECTS) of the required subject competencies. Missing competencies will be reduced according to the Credits (ECTS) of the assigned modules of the Bachelor of Life Sciences Nutritional Science. For the categories Organic and Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Human/Animal Physiology, and Laboratory Practicals, modules of at least 5 Credits (ECTS) must be proven in each of these categories, otherwise 0 points will be given in these groups.
If you are missing more than 30 Credits (ECTS) of the subject competencies, you do not fulfill the subject qualification for the Master's program.
If you are not sure whether a module you have taken corresponds to the listed module contents, you can read our module descriptions (Module catalog). If you have taken a combined module in your degree program, such as Biology (consisting of cell biology and genetics for example) or Biochemistry (consisting of theory and laboratory course), you can enter the module more than once, but you have to divide the credits according to the categories! All other modules of your transcript of records that cannot be divided into the listed categories you have to enter under the category other modules.
++ Please insert the credits (credit hours or units) of your origin university and your original grades for each module. If you do not have any grade information for some modules, just leave the field empty. The conversion of your Credits into ECTS as well as the grade conversion for foreign degrees via the Bavarian formula will be done by us! ++
