In 2009, the Technical University of Munich introduced the TUM Graduate School as an umbrella organization for all of its subject-specific graduate centres – the first graduate school in Germany that includes all of the subject areas, but also offers a comprehensive qualification program thanks to this diversity. 

We needed a solution to manage all these graduate centres and OpenCampus has created for us a complete Graduate School Management solution which has automated, extremely simplified, streamlined and made the process efficient. It has been implemented completely meaning every PhD student, close to 8500 students, of the university now go through OpenCampus from Application, Qualification Program till Final Dissertation and Diploma. 

Our PhD program at TUM is quite complex with multiple processes and sub processes involving numerous documents and OpenCampus was able to effectively map it while also automatically generating PDF and Word documents which drastically reduced the time and effort required by our office staff. It also provides easy tracking and supervision of students and their applications and gives an overview of their status, something that wasn't possible before. 

To summarize OpenCampus has created for us a complete, automated, end-to-end PhD program management solution which has optimized and enhanced our existing process with which I am very satisfied and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for graduate school process management solutions.

Number of Students currently using the system: close to 8500
