Working Student – Marketing & Communications(m/f/d)

Working Stu­dent | 10–20 hours per week | Munich | Start­ing date: Octo­ber 2026 or later


Do you want to tell the sto­ry of how world-class tech­ni­cal edu­ca­ti­on is built — and get real owner­ship of mar­ke­ting while you stu­dy?


Who We Are


TUM Inter­na­tio­nal GmbH (TUMint) is the inter­na­tio­nal arm of the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of


Munich (TUM), Europe’s lea­ding tech­ni­cal uni­ver­si­ty. Tog­e­ther with visio­na­ry part­ners from aca­de­mia, indus­try, and the public sec­tor, we build new edu­ca­ti­on and inno­va­ti­on hubs around the world.


TUMint brings the strength of the Munich eco­sys­tem — rese­arch excel­lence, start­ups, glo­bal cor­po­ra­tes, and public insti­tu­ti­ons — into our pro­jects. Our work is inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry and fast-moving, deli­ve­ring world-class tech­no­lo­gy edu­ca­ti­on pro­gram­mes and inno­va­ti­on hubs that crea­te las­ting impact in emer­ging and high-growth mar­kets.


What We Do


Our pro­jects span from desig­ning and laun­ching new edu­ca­tio­nal pro­gram­mes at part­ner uni­ver­si­ties, to buil­ding inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tems, sup­port­ing tech­no­lo­gy entre­pre­neur­ship, and deve­lo­ping insti­tu­tio­nal capa­ci­ty in our part­ner count­ries.


All of this needs to be com­mu­ni­ca­ted — to pro­s­pec­ti­ve stu­dents, to part­ner uni­ver­si­ties, to minis­tries, to indus­try, and to the TUM com­mu­ni­ty. That is whe­re you come in.


The Role


We are loo­king for a crea­ti­ve, relia­ble, and hands-on working stu­dent to sup­port TUMint’s mar­ke­ting and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons work. You will pro­du­ce con­tent that goes out under the TUMint and TUM name, and you will see the results of your work in real cam­paigns, at real events, and in front of real audi­en­ces.


You will work clo­se­ly with our pro­ject teams and the manage­ment, get insight into inter­na­tio­nal edu­ca­ti­on pro­jects, and take owner­ship of your own topics from day one. We are hap­py to shape the focus of the role around your strengths and your stu­dy sche­du­le — 10 to 20 hours per week, fle­xi­bly arran­ged around your lec­tures and exam peri­ods.


Your Tasks


Social Media & Con­tent


  • Crea­te, sche­du­le, and publish con­tent for TUMint’s chan­nels — pri­ma­ri­ly Lin­ke­dIn, plus Insta­gram and our web­site.
  • Wri­te and pro­ofread copy in Ger­man and Eng­lish: posts, news items, news­let­ters, pro­gram­me descrip­ti­ons, and short inter­views with col­le­agues, part­ners, and stu­dents.
  • Sup­port our edi­to­ri­al calen­dar — coll­ect sto­ries from ongo­ing pro­jects and turn them into publisha­ble con­tent.
  • Sup­port in main­tai­ning and updating our web­site using Word­Press.
  • Take and edit pho­tos and short video clips at events and in the office, and build simp­le video edits or reels.

Events & Recrui­ting Mar­ke­ting


  • Sup­port the plan­ning, pre­pa­ra­ti­on, and fol­low-up of events, infor­ma­ti­on ses­si­ons, dele­ga­ti­on visits, and part­ner events.
  • Help pro­du­ce cam­paign mate­ri­al for recruit­ment for TUMint Aca­de­my pro­gram­mes — fly­ers, landing page con­tent, mai­lings, and social ads.
  • Assist on site at events in and around Munich: set­up, mate­ri­al hand­ling, guest sup­port, and on-the-spot social media covera­ge.
  • Prepa­re event docu­men­ta­ti­on and short reports for inter­nal use.

Design & Brand Assets


  • Design and adapt mar­ke­ting assets — pre­sen­ta­ti­ons, bro­chu­res, one-pagers, roll-ups, and social media tem­pla­tes — with Can­va and/or the Ado­be Crea­ti­ve Suite.
  • Keep our tem­pla­tes, image libra­ry, and asset fol­ders tidy, cur­rent, and easy for col­le­agues to use.
  • Help safe­guard brand con­sis­ten­cy across TUMint mate­ri­als and ensu­re ali­gnment with design gui­de­lines.

Ana­ly­tics, & Mar­ke­ting Ope­ra­ti­ons


  • Track web­site and social media per­for­mance and prepa­re simp­le, rea­da­ble month­ly report­ing on reach, enga­ge­ment, and cam­paign results.
  • Main­tain mai­ling lists and cont­act data, and sup­port the pre­pa­ra­ti­on and dis­patch of news­let­ters.
  • Car­ry out light mar­ket and com­pe­ti­tor rese­arch on inter­na­tio­nal edu­ca­ti­on mar­ke­ting, and sum­ma­ri­se your fin­dings for the team.

What We Are Looking For


Aca­de­mic Back­ground


The fol­lo­wing is requi­red — we’re only able to con­sider appli­ca­ti­ons that meet the­se cri­te­ria:


  • Curr­ent­ly enrol­led at a uni­ver­si­ty in Ger­ma­ny for the enti­re dura­ti­on of the posi­ti­on (Werk­stu­dent sta­tus requi­res acti­ve enrol­ment).
  • TUM stu­dents are espe­ci­al­ly wel­co­me to app­ly. Fami­lia­ri­ty with TUM’s aca­de­mic cul­tu­re, struc­tures, and brand is a genui­ne advan­ta­ge in this role — as is having com­ple­ted a TUM Bachelor’s degree and con­ti­nuing in a TUM Master’s pro­gram­me.
  • Field of stu­dy: Mar­ke­ting, Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, Media, Busi­ness Admi­nis­tra­ti­on, Manage­ment & Tech­no­lo­gy, or a com­pa­ra­ble pro­gram­me. Stu­dents from tech­ni­cal disci­pli­nes with demons­tra­ble mar­ke­ting expe­ri­ence are equal­ly wel­co­me.
  • Lan­guage: Ger­man at C1 level or abo­ve (you will wri­te publisha­ble Ger­man copy) and flu­ent Eng­lish (working lan­guage of our pro­jects). Addi­tio­nal lan­guages are a wel­co­me bonus.
  • Avai­la­bi­li­ty: 10–20 hours per week, on site in Munich for at least part of the week, ide­al­ly for a mini­mum of six months.

Expe­ri­ence


  • First prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence in mar­ke­ting, com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, PR, or an agen­cy envi­ron­ment — through an intern­ship, a pre­vious working stu­dent posi­ti­on, or a stu­dent initia­ti­ve.
  • Hands-on expe­ri­ence run­ning or con­tri­bu­ting to social media chan­nels, ide­al­ly inclu­ding Lin­ke­dIn and Insta­gram in a pro­fes­sio­nal or orga­ni­sa­tio­nal con­text.
  • Expe­ri­ence with Can­va and/or Ado­be Crea­ti­ve Cloud (InDe­sign, Pho­to­shop, Illus­tra­tor, Pre­mie­re) is a strong advan­ta­ge.
  • Expo­sure to a CMS (e.g. Word­Press or TYPO3), a news­let­ter tool (e.g. Mailchimp or Cle­ver­Reach), or web and social ana­ly­tics is a plus.
  • Any expe­ri­ence in an inter­na­tio­nal or inter­cul­tu­ral set­ting — a semes­ter abroad, an inter­na­tio­nal stu­dent orga­ni­sa­ti­on, or work with inter­na­tio­nal teams — is very wel­co­me.

Skills & Attri­bu­tes


  • Strong wri­ting skills — you can adapt tone and regis­ter bet­ween a Lin­ke­dIn post, a minis­try-facing bro­chu­re, and a stu­dent news­let­ter.
  • A good eye for design, lay­out, and visu­al detail; you noti­ce when some­thing looks off and you fix it.
  • Struc­tu­red and relia­ble working style: you meet dead­lines, keep files in order, and fol­low up wit­hout being remin­ded.
  • Proac­ti­ve and curious — you bring your own ide­as rather than wai­ting for a task list, and you are com­for­ta­ble asking ques­ti­ons.
  • Careful and dis­creet in hand­ling inter­nal infor­ma­ti­on, part­ner cont­acts, and per­so­nal data.
  • A team play­er who enjoys working with peo­p­le from many count­ries and aca­de­mic back­grounds.
  • Moti­va­ted by mis­si­on — you belie­ve that access to excel­lent engi­nee­ring edu­ca­ti­on can chan­ge count­ries, not just care­ers.

Why Join TUMint?


  • Real respon­si­bi­li­ty from the start — your con­tent goes live, your designs get used, and your ide­as are heard.
  • Insight into inter­na­tio­nal edu­ca­ti­on and inno­va­ti­on pro­jects at the inter­face of one of the world’s top tech­ni­cal uni­ver­si­ties, govern­ments, and indus­try.
  • Fle­xi­ble hours desi­gned around your stu­dies, inclu­ding redu­ced workload during exam peri­ods, and the opti­on to work part­ly remo­te­ly.
  • A small, inter­na­tio­nal, and mis­si­on-dri­ven team whe­re you are a col­le­ague, not a num­ber.
  • A strong refe­rence and a port­fo­lio of published work for your CV, plus access to TUM’s rese­arch and entre­pre­neur­ship net­work in Munich.
  • Fair com­pen­sa­ti­on in line with TUM stan­dards for working stu­dents, and the pro­fes­sio­nal envi­ron­ment of a TUM-affi­lia­ted insti­tu­ti­on.
