# Management (Main Location: Heilbronn) (MSc) at TUM

The Heilbronn variant of TUM's Management master for STEM graduates, with electives in Management of Family Businesses and Management of Digital Transformation. Substantively close to the Munich version but tuition-free, which is the decisive difference for non-EU applicants. Based at TUM Campus Heilbronn, roughly 200km from Munich - a completely different and considerably cheaper housing market than the Munich campuses.
