All around your studies

At our university, students can take advantage of many services that are offered independently of the respective degree course.

  • Practice rooms

    Not everyone can, likes or is allowed to practise without restrictions within their own four walls. Therefore, we provide our students with extra rooms at various locations.
    Every person studying with us can reserve these rooms for three hours per day. Reservations are done online via our campus management system eOffice and is always possible 24 hours in advance.
    Click here for eOffice
    You can find a tutorial on the reservation system on our university’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com.
    If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the »AG Raum« (working group on rooms) by e-mail (ag-raum@hmtm.de).

    Please note the following points for all reservations:

    • Please check your room reservations to make sure they are up to date.
    • Reserve your classes early.
    • Please release room reservations if you do not use them or if times change, and inform the colleagues responsible for this at the relevant locations of the university in good time.

    • Payment function of the Studentenwerks München (Student Services) (Legic card)

    In order to use your ID card, please validate it: Shortly before the validity date expires, ID cards can be extended at the devices set up for this purpose, the validation stations, if the requirements for this are met (e.g. successful re-registration). One validation station is located in the cloakroom at Arcisstraße 12 (ground floor), another in Gasteig HP8 (House G).

    Initial issue and replacement: The initial issue of the student identity card is free of charge. Please protect the card from damage, otherwise it will become unusable. A fee of € 10.00 will be charged for the replacement of the card in case of loss or damage.

    Card number: In case of loss or for queries regarding the payment system of the Studentenwerk München, you will need the card number, which is printed on the front of the card under the logo of the university. Please make a separate note of this number so that we can block it if necessary. Any remaining credit can also only be determined and refunded via the card number.

    If you lose your card, please contact the Registrar’s Office and the Studentenwerk München immediately with the card number, and also the university library with your library number.

    Your card is connected to the payment system of the Studentenwerk München as a Legic card. You can find all information here: https://www.studierendenwerk-muenchen-oberbayern.de/en/canteen/card-payment/

The project team around Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kaiser will be happy to advise you (see below for contact).
