What kind of study do I have to do to join the club?

Any kind of study is right to join our club. The only thing that matters is your motivation and eagerness to learn more about blockchain technologies.

How much time do I have to spend for the Club?

There's no formal time requirement for the club. However, to get the most out of the experience,  consider being actively involved in key events, discussions, and projects. It's also important to know that we are a team of highly motivated individuals passionate about becoming the leading student Blockchain club worldwide! While we don't have rigid working hours, our members consistently put in around 10 hours a week – and often much more – because the impact of our work drives them. This version focuses on motivation and dedication while subtly suggesting a level of expected commitment.  Of course, we understand that your schedule can fluctuate, and we'll always be flexible, especially during exam periods.

What does the application process look like?

The current process of recruiting is simple, with two steps. The first step of the recruiting is the written application phase, where each candidate has to fill out a set of questions in the application form. After an initial screening of written applications, the selected candidates move on for a face-to-face interview with TUM Blockchain Club members. After the final round of interviews, the candidates who make the cut are invited to join our community.

I can't be there for the kickoff event, should I still apply?

At the onboarding event, you will get to know all active members and new joiners and be onboarded to all IT tools. You will also learn everything you need to know about your membership and get to know the department you will be working in. That's why it's super important that you are there in person for the entire period! If you can't be there and have a really good reason for this, please let us know when you submit your application.

How can I reach out to the TBC?
