“WE GIVE THE WORLD TECHNOLOGY”
Technical University of Munich (TUM) was founded in 1868 and is
considered as one of Europe’s leading technical universities. TUM
has produced 13 Nobel Laureates to date and has consistently played
an important role in technological advancements across Europe.
TUM strives to create lasting value for society through excellence in
education, research and the active promotion of next-generation talent
with a strong entrepreneurial spirit.
Asian In Location, German In Execution
Following the same vision, TUM Asia opened its doors in 2002 to
bring German academic excellence to Singapore. Though situated in
an Asian country, the academic model at TUM Asia is nevertheless
German in its roots, emphasizng on industry readiness and innovation.
Since 2002, TUM Asia has been running joint Master Programmes
conferred by TUM, together with Nanyang Technological University
(NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS), in topics such as
Industrial Chemistry, Integrated Circuit Design, Green Electronics
and Aerospace Engineering. Separately, TUM Asia hosts an individual
degree from TUM in Transport & Logistics. Professors hail from as
far as Germany and their wealth of knowledge provide a spectrum of
experience for students to glean from.
A One-Stop Higher Education Facility
TUM Asia also partners with Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT),
Singapore’s newest University, to offer two Bachelor programmes;
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information
Technology; and Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. In
2015, over one thousand students have come through the doors of
TUM Asia and currently ply their trades in top research institutes and
companies across the globe.
TUM CREATE, a research initiative by TUM Asia, was incepted in
June 2010 to propagate research programmes where scientists and
researchers from both Germany and Singapore work together for the
advancement of science and technology. The research programme
focuses on developing innovative systems that incorporate safety and
reliability with functionality and energy efficiency in electric vehicles
for tropical climates. In 2015, TUM CREATE officially launched their
prototype named EVA, an electrical car designed, developed and
manufactured in Singapore to function as an electric taxi.

Come and join us in our lively church community! Our
congregation, which has been active in Singapore since 1972,
provides a place of worship and community for German,
Austrian and Swiss Lutherans, Reformed, United and Baptist church
members, all united in God’s name.
On most Sundays we celebrate our worship service at 4.30 pm in the
chapel of the Orchard Road Presbyterian Church (3 Orchard Road,
MRT Dhoby Ghaut). Children are welcome to Sunday School, which
takes place at the same time as the service. Once a month on Sunday,
we celebrate special family services at 10.30 am at the Primary School
Campus of the German European School or at other locations.
Every year, we offer a Confirmation class to prepare 13 to 14 year
old boys and girls for their confirmation, as well as Pre-Confirmation
classes for children in the third grade. A gospel choir and brass band
(Posaunenchor) enrich many of our services. If you like to sing or
play a brass instrument, you are welcome to join in, praising God
through music!
As followers of Christ it is our duty and privilege to support those who
are less fortunate than us. Therefore we support, among others, the
Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (H.O.M.E.) which
was set up in 2004 to help abused housemaids and migration workers.
Everybody is welcome to join our congregation, celebrate with us our
Sunday services or to ask for spiritual counselling. You can get updates
on our various activities, worship schedule and church news by
looking at our new website (www.evkirche.sg), by writing us an email
to receive our newsletter or picking up the bi-monthly Gemeindebrief
at various locations of the German community in Singapore. We’re
looking forward to welcoming you in our congregation!
