General Information

We offer two types of Letters of Recommendation (LoR)

1) LoR for TUMexchange

2) LoR for other applications

A LoR for TUMexchange can only be issued for students who exhibited very good performance (grade of 1.3 or better) in at least two courses of the Chair of Entrepreneurial Finance.
In the case of project studies, only an excellent performance (grade of 1.0) qualifies for a LoR.

A LoR for other applications can only be issued if we feel able to recommend the student. 

The decision whether we can issue a LoR is based on the overall performance and whether we feel able to recommend the student.

Please note that we do not issue Letters of Recommendations for job applications and are not available as personal references for applications.
