Grammarly License for TUM doctoral candidates
Good news! From now on, you can access the Grammarly tool via the new TUM license. Grammarly is an AI-powered writing tool that can help you improve your writing by detecting and correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, as well as making suggestions for clarity and tone. Grammarly can be used as a browser extension, a desktop app, or a mobile app. The TUM license is initially available to all TUM employees, doctoral candidates who are enrolled at the TUM, as well as doctoral candidates with a guest account in TUMonline. During the 12-month test phase of Grammarly, the TUM-GS proofreading service will be paused. Learn more about the offer and installation in the TUM wiki.
