Recognition of exams taken at other universities
This website contains information on the recognition of exams taken at other universities and is valid for students enrolled in the Bachelor program at the TUM School of Management or in the Information Systems Bachelor program at the Department of Informatics. The TUM course, which can be replaced by recognized exam results, is
CIT5130002: Introduction to Data Science and Statistical Thinking
Remark: You can follow the same steps for replacing the module MA9712 Statistics for Business Administration, in case it is still part of your study program.
Steps towards recognition
Here we have to distinguish between students enrolled in the Bachelor program at the TUM School of Management and students enrolled in the Information Systems Bachelor program at the Department of Informatics.
For students at the TUM School of Management
Before you contact us to check the equivalence of the content of your course to CIT5130002, you must have read the relevant documents in the Download Center.
Once this is done, check the module description of CIT5130002 to see if your course could be considered as being equivalent. In particular your course must contain the topics
- data management / descriptive statistics,
- probability theory,
- introduction to statistical learning / predictive modeling,
- inferential statistics.
In addition you must be able to proof that you have been working with a statistical software in your course. If you think your course is equivalent to CIT5130002, then please send

For students from one of the programs in the professional profile Informatics
Please contact the Academic Advising at your department. There you will get the correct form for your request of recognition of exams taken at other universities. You will then have to send us the completed form together with the relevant course outlines and the name of your academic student advisor. Please also take into account the tables on this web page. If your course is listed in the second table, we will not be able to recognize it.
