The Technical University of Munich, sometimes called TUM, is a public institution that was founded in 1868. The university has three locations in the German state of Bavaria – downtown Munich, Garching and Weihenstephan. The Garching campus, located north of Munich, has the largest enrollment and is home to TUM's natural sciences and technology divisions. In general, students do not pay tuition at the university but rather pay semester fees. TUM does not have its own student housing, though accommodations managed by outside organizations are available.The university has 13 academic divisions: architecture; chemistry; civil, geo and environmental engineering; education; electrical and computer engineering; informatics; life sciences; management; math; mechanical engineering; medicine; physics; and sport and health sciences. In all, the university offers more than 150 degree programs, and the primary language of instruction is German. However, TUM offers more than three dozen programs that are taught completely in English as well as a number of bilingual programs, most of which are at the master's level. The university’s academic calendar is semester-based. The university has a number of research centers, including the Munich Center for Technology in Society, the Walter Schottky Institut for the study of nanotechnology and nanomaterials and the Hans Eisenmann-Zentrum for agricultural sciences. The Erlenmeyer flask, a piece of equipment commonly found in chemistry labs that is used to measure and store liquids, was named after one of TUM's founding professors.
