Student life is fun yet stressful.
Tips: There were a lot of shifts in terms of how the classes are organised for example there were no mandatory classes to attend. I had the DAAD scholarship which was paid as a stipend every month of 500 euros for 9 months. Although some of the student life were stressful, I was completely prepared for what was to come next in terms of professional life.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is very well connected with the underground metro and fast suburban trains. Trams and buses are also very easily accessible. With a student pass, you can travel on all of them for free of any additional charges. The student pass was around 1.50 euros per semester which was very affordable too.
Dislikes (Student Life): Student life in Germany could be stressful with high deadline pressure and a difficult jump to academics from Indian standards. Events on campus would range from a career fair to social events. I had joined various social events as both participants as well as organize. Clubs range from entrepreneur clubs to photography clubs. The biggest stress of student life was the cost of living crisis in Munich as a city.

A strong foundation in sustainability at TUM.
Tips: Before joining the Technical University of Munich (M.S. in Sustainable Resource Management), Students should be prepared for rigorous, research-oriented program with a strong interdisciplinary focus and high academic independence. Transitioning to TUM involved adapting to a structured German academic culture and a more self-driven learning approach, which was a noticeable but enriching culture shift. I was able to avail a merit-based scholarship (Deutschland Stipendium) during my studies that provided partial financial support toward living expenses. I am very satisfied with the quality of education, the sustainability-focused curriculam, and the academic environement in Germany, despite the relatively high cost of living.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated 5 for Student Life because my experience at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in the M.S. Sustainable Resource Management program is both academically enriching and socially vibrant. A typical day involves lectures on sustainability, environmental economics and resource policy, group projects, and independent research, often combined with study sessions in the library or collaboration spaces. What I enjoy most is the strong balance between theory and real-world application, along with TUM's international and interdisciplinary environment. The campus regularly hosts sustainability workshops, industry talks, hackathons, cultural festivals, and networking events, and I participate quite often, especially in academic and sustainability focused events. There are active student clubs and communities related to sustainability, environmental initiatives, entrepreneurship, sports, and international students, which makes campus life engaging and inclusive.
Dislikes (Part time work): The professors in the Sustainable Resource Management M.S. Program at TUM are highly knowledgeable, research driven and deeply involved in real world sustainability challenges. The faculty is very accessible and approachable; they encourage questions, are responsive during office hours, and actively support students in research and career guidance. The Teaching methodology is unique due to its strong interdisciplinary approach, combining environmental science, economics, policy and practical case studies, often linked to ongoing research projects. The faculty is also highly diverse, with professors and lecturers from various nationalities and academic backgrounds, which brings global perspectives to sustainability and resource management topics.

Good quality education with lot of job opportunities.
Tips: Indian and German cultures are quite different. But if you are open to meeting new people and learn about different cultures, it becomes easy. Learning German beforehand would also be helpful. I didn't avail any scholarships. Very satisfied in terms of education and living experience. And Germany offers a lot of opportunities for jobs as well which helps students find working student jobs or internships.
Likes (Safety): The city is international and very safe. The people are welcoming as well. Almost everyone speaks English. Very rare cases of racism. The campus is also very safe and in case something happens, the police are also very active or you can reach out to the student committee.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It is difficult to find Indian food options in day to day life in general. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Munich but they are expensive. It can cost 20-30 for a single person meal. I preferred cooking myself as it is cheap and affordable.

Career oriented program.
Tips: TUM made me smart and humble at the same time. If you really introspect, very few things you come across in life are capable of doing this. If you are able to get into TUM then by all probabilities you are one of the smartest guys in your previous university. So you might have a bag of ego with you. As soon as you get into TUM you will realize that most people around you are way smarter than you. This makes you humble. Nevertheless you still have to survive the daunting coursework at TUM and this makes you step out of your comfort zone and push your limits. You will realize that your real limits and your perceived limits are actually not the same. As you can imagine, going through this is a priceless experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are insanely busy. But still, they did a great job in preparing and delivering quality lectures. But approaching professors after the lectures is not easy unless it has something to do with our dissertation or some potential industrial collaboration. Some units of the departments of professors function like a consultancy where they provide solutions to industries. They do a good job in applying outcomes of academic research to industries.

Best university in a safe town.
Tips: Strong academics in a very safe, quiet town. Students should be ready for a calm lifestyle and be proactive about internships and learning basic German. The transition is smooth with a cultural shift toward punctuality, rules and independence. Scholarships like Deutschlandstipendium (€300/month), merit based scholarships and also need based depending on the semester are available.
Likes (Safety): Well lit streets, reliable public transport, emergency numbers with quick response, student support services, and strict laws ensure safety. TUM also offers student counselling, emergency contacts and accommodation support !! Straubing is a small, quiet Bavarian town with very low crime rates and a strong sense of community. Germany is considered one of the safest countries for students, including international students. The city feels calm, walkable, and safe even late in the night, especially compared to big cities. Wouldn't say bad but an awkward experience is that occasional staring while walking on the road or in a supermarket, but no serious safety concerns or hostile incidents have happened till now.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The program has strong academic and research value, but Straubing has a limited local biotech industry. Graduates usually need to relocate to major hubs (Munich, Berlin, Heidelberg) and competition is high, especially without German language proficiency. Also, Germany has hundreds of biotech & pharma companies that can sponsor visas via the EU Blue Card. Typical roles include Research Associate, Bioprocess Engineer, and QC or Regulatory roles with salaries around €20,000–€50,000/year for MSc graduates.
