A perfect Academic course for Transportation Enthusiast
Tips: About the university, course and country its sport on if you are willing to learn German language. Even for the part time and after graduation German language skill is very important. I didn't get any scholarships or something. I have managed my finance by own. Also before joining the course please review the course first as I have seen lot of people who quite the course after 2-3 semester because the don't able to complete the exams.
Likes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen is an absolute steal when it comes to what you're actually getting for your money. Because it’s a public German university, there are zero actual tuition fees. You only have to pay a relatively small semester fee twice a year, and honestly, the perks completely cover that cost on their own. The biggest highlight is that this fee includes the country-wide Deutschlandsemesterticket. Having that means you can hop on any regional train, bus, or metro across the entire country for completely free. Just using it to travel around North Rhine-Westphalia or take weekend trips out of Aachen makes the semester contribution worth it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian vegetarian, it is hard sometimes to find vegetarian food outside, so you should have to manage cooking with studying and a part-time job. I always prefer to cook at home rather than eating out, as it saves much more cost. But yes, you can also find Indian restaurants here in Germany. There are also Indian grocery stores where you can buy Indian groceries. Apart from that, German supermarkets also have the most common groceries like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.

RWTH Aachen presents an amazing opportunity to learn all the essential skills.
Tips: The best part about RWTH Aachen is that tuition is basically nonexistent for almost every course. You just have to shell out around €300 each semester but that’s not actually tuition—it’s a student contribution fee and it covers your Semesterticket, which gives you free public transit across the entire state. But here’s the catch you can't ignore: you need German, period. Even if your specific master's or bachelor's degree is taught entirely in English and you can get by on campus just fine, the bubble bursts the second you try to find work. Aachen is a massive tech and engineering hub, but local companies and startups expect you to actually communicate with their teams. If you want to land a solid student job (HiWi) on campus, a part-time corporate gig or a full-time role after you graduate having a strong grasp of German is a total game-changer. Without it, you're competing for a tiny fraction of English-only roles, which makes the job hunt way more stressful than it needs to be.

MBA in Digitalization & Industrial Change - Batch of 2025

RWTH - MBA Digitalization and Industrial Change Review
Tips: MBA is provided by RWTH Business School. It is a paid course and if you need to extend your studies, you need to pay again. This course is recommended for working professionals who have at least 4-5 years of experience. The Full-Time MBA in Digitalization & Industrial Change at RWTH Business School is a 3-semester program designed to combine core management skills with a deep understanding of technological innovation and digital transformation. It costs roughly €30,000 to €40,000 and is tailored for technology enthusiasts.
Likes (Public transportation): We have good connectivity to the campus. The travel fees are included in the semester ticket. So you don't need to pay again. There are no teams in Aachen. But there are buses in every 15 minutes. Aachen's public transit features an extensive ASEAG bus network and regional rail from Aachen Hauptbahnhof. It also includes cross-border routes like bus line 350 to Maastricht. Track schedules seamlessly on the go with the DB Navigator or the movA app.
Dislikes (Part time work): This MBA course is a full-time, tightly packed course. Therefore, one will not get enough time to go for part-time jobs. The course is very tightly packed with mainly group activities and presentations. Even though the classes are not compulsory, since most of them are presentations and group work, you are expected to attend every session.

A Challenging but Rewarding Academic Journey
Tips: Look, if you’re actually coming to RWTH, you’ve got to be ready to stay on top of your own stuff—it is definitely not the type of place where you can just coast. Trying to cram for exams like two weeks before is basically just a disaster waiting to happen, so you’ve really got to keep at it all semester. If I could give one tip, it’d be to sit down and map out your courses right at the start so you don’t end up totally drowning in work later on. And honestly? Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t finish in exactly two years. Most people take about two and a half once they factor in the internship and the thesis, and companies actually seem to prefer that extra experience anyway. Also—definitely, definitely brush up on your math, especially calculus. It’ll make everything way less of a headache once you’re actually in the thick of it.
Likes (Value for money): Even though there’s a fee for the CAME program, they actually have quite a few scholarships you can look into. Plus, it’s still way cheaper than most other places in Europe, and honestly, the quality you get is worth the price tag. Most other courses in Germany are free anyway, which takes a huge weight off your shoulders financially. One thing I'd suggest is looking for a HiWi spot—it's usually not too hard to find one at the better unis, and it’s a great way to make some extra cash while actually learning the technical side of things. Also, Aachen is much easier on the wallet than other cities. Like, if you were in Munich, you'd probably be spending nearly double on rent and stuff compared to what you’ll pay here.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Honestly trying to land a job in Germany after a Master’s is just brutal lately. The recession has really messed things up especially with the big industries like cars and manufacturing slowing way down. It’s a total nightmare if you aren't fluent in German too as maximum of the decent roles basically won't even look at your CV unless you can speak the language properly.

I studied at RWTH Aachen, Germany, and it was an enlightening, humbling and pleasant experience.
Tips: Be respectful to everyone. Learn the language and culture. Have to be ready to put in all the effort required to provide for yourself including part time jobs and money-saving ideas. Do not take exams lightly. Building a rapport with the lecturers and staff is not really necessary but encouraged depending on the subject. Be on the lookout for skill-building part time jobs. Experience specific to jobs is highly valued and preferred. Transferable skills are rarely an advantage.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): There is a chance of a PR after 5-8 years of employment. For people interested in getting it earlier there might be opportunities but I am not sure about it. If not for the Indian law regarding dual citizenship, I could see myself moving to Germany.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no placement opportunities from the universities. Students obtain every job by applying themselves, attending job fair, and visiting a company website. The university contribution to jobs is the education they provide. I gave it a 3-star rating only to highlight that it is 100% based on the student securing a job for themselves. The student must apply for a job-seeker visa after completing the studies. It is 100% granted, but the student has to provide intent and proof of funds for atleast 3-6 months post study completion.

RWTH Aachen - an underappreciated gem bordering Germany, Netherlands and Belgium
Tips: Learning some German will go a long way, it is a very international environment so you can definitely get by just with English but to make more friends and assimilate yourself, it is really appreciated to learn the language, the local also appreciate it. It is also cheaper to learn German in India than in Germany xD It is also very important to get good insurance. Your student status requires you to have valid health insurance, but it is highly recommended to also get a private liability insurance for a few Euros per month, which protects you from any accidents that you can be involved in that damage someone else's property. I applied for and got a scholarship specific to my course. The deadline was a few months before the regular admission deadline and it provided me about 500 Euros per month stipend for 2 years and an internship (working student/HiWi) contract for the first year for 8 hours/week that also paid about 500 euros per month. You can find student jobs at a lab provided you have a little background knowledge in the subject, usually English is sufficient for this. If you want to work at a tech company or a Fraunhofer, knowing German can help. I am very satisfied with my university. The faculty has been superb and there is excellent research in Physics here. It is also very affordable, charges zero tuition and studentship comes with a national travel card that allows you to avail all the public transport in the country, bus, tram, train, for free. The cost is included in the semester fee of about 300 euros.
Likes (Internships): Every few months, the student body and the university organise a career/job fair to arrange internships for the students and provide valuable guidance and upskilling for soft skills. There are numerous calls for international exchange visits/internships under the Erasmus and other programmes that the RWTH is a part of, which all students, regardless of whether they are only European, can participate in.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Even for a small college town, they have almost 10-15 Indian restaurants in the main city region, with reasonable prices 10-15 Euros for a meal, some focus on North/South Indian cuisine. I prefer cooking for myself to manage budget and health, it is quite convenient and possible to find food that suits your dietary requirements (veg, vegan, hall, etc.).
