Testimonials from exchange students

My experience in Munich, especially at HM University, was really fantastic. Munich, with its beautiful landscapes and many opportunities, completely captured my attention. I feel incredibly thankful for the opportunity to live in this amazing city and to be in Bavaria’s capital. Living here has been a great experience, both in terms of academics and culture.

My classes were interesting and easy to follow, making learning not just informative but also fun. I want to praise the constant support from the International Office - they were always there to help me with anything during my stay.

Learning about Germany's rich culture and a new language added a special layer to my overall experience. This journey has truly been an amazing and rewarding chapter in my life.

Fantastic semester in Munich and learning expierence @HM!

Munich has been the best experience of my life and a whole year of happy moments have remained in my memory!

I felt really safe in the city, it has very good public transport and it is close to other countries. During my winter term there were festivals, activities organised by the university and the most beautiful Christmas markets I have ever visited.

During summer there was nothing better than having a drink outside, watching sunsets on the hill of Olympia park and swimming with friends in the river of English Garden.

As for my studies, I was able to pass all my subjects successfully and without much difficulty. In addition, the International Office always helped me with everything I needed, which was a great support for me.

Christmas markets, Olypmia Park and English Garden - wonderful in all seasons of the year
