MS in Developmental, Neural and Behavioral Biology (In German) - Batch of 2027
4.2
Transformation and learning something new.
Tips: You will see cultural differences but you will get adjusted. It's best if you know how to cook for your meals. If your course requires you to finish a certain level of German or English level try to finish and submit it as soon as you can. You will have stress free time during university. I love my university and all the students and professors are pretty cool.
Likes (Safety): I have travelled and have walked around at midnight. It's a pretty safe and friendly small city and less tourists. There is an international office where you can go and talk about your difficulties and they actually care and try to help you out. The city is quite peaceful.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are good. But for my course, I see them for two to three classes and I don't see them again but you can always contact them through email. And I really love how we get hands on experience in the wed labs and exposure to different labs in the city.

Msc in Cardiovascular Science - Batch of 2022
4.6
Good, specific, research oriented and scope for industrial career.
Tips: There is always a cultural shift when a student moves abroad. But it actually helps you grow to be a good and confident person during your career. I didn't have any scholarships, but there are a few where students can apply, such as Deutschland Stipendium, where you get 300 euros per month. I really like my programme, it's research oriented and well established. There are many better programs, where you can choose a different career path than being narrowed down to one topic.

MS in Development Economics ( In German) - Batch of 2021
4.3
University of Gottingen is good.
Tips: I think there's a shift in mindset when one moves abroad and develops a network of people from different countries. This helps broaden perspectives. The DAAD scholarship gives 800 euros per month as well as round flight tickets and health insurance. I would definitely recommend the University of Gottingen.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee is very minimal in public universities in Germany. It was about 250 euros when I was studying there. This "tuition fee" goes towards your public transport allowance, student union membership, as well as subsidised food in the canteens.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany is open in terms of visa access. It is very difficult to get a job if you do not have native fluency in German and do not have a local network to help you get jobs. There is also a growing anti-immigrant sentiment. Germany is great to live in for a few years and get a good education. But permanent immigration opportunities are a bit difficult to come across.

It is actually a great place to live and study.
Tips: Know about the culture, food and festivals before you come. Easy to integrate. Learn the language a bit. I didn't avail scholarships but there are multiple options. It should be worth your time and efforts.

MS in Molecular Life Sciences: Microbiology, Biotechnology and Biochemistry - Batch of 2023
4.5
Life in Germany: A quiet world.
Tips: The cultural shift is something huge that I had to go through. It is very quiet here which was definitely a surprise to me. But the course coordinator was more than welcoming to us and made the local bureaucracy very easy. The course is really good and prepares everyone for the outer world.
Likes (Value for money): For my course, there was a stipend that every student received each month. This stipend is enough to cover the insurance and the living costs. It was also covered by travel expenses when I went around Europe and also back home. The university also increased the stipend once due to inflation and it helped.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian restaurants but the food is really Europeanized and hence doesn't really taste like it does back home. The prices are okay ish one meal can be somewhere around 20 euros now. I like to cook food and hence prefer eating inside only.

MA in Modern Indian Studies (In German) - Batch of 2026
4.7
Amazing student life; knowledge of German language is crucial.
Tips: Things students should know before coming here - Knowledge of the German language is crucial, even if your course is in English. Acclimating to a new culture takes time. Germans can be different from Indians; they're less social and follow rules to an immense degree. Niedersachsen scholarship and the Deutschlandstipendium are available for students. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Value for money): There are no tuition fees because the University of Göttingen (also known as The Georg-August University) is a public university. Public universities do not charge tuition. Students need to cover accommodation, health insurance, and living expenses. Groceries cost roughly 180-200 euros a month. Statutory health insurance is 144 euros, and the average rent is 300 euros. Public transport is free.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There is a finding work visa available after graduation which is quite helpful. Germany is generally pro immigrant making it easier to settle here. However it's important to note that German language proficiency is crucial for this. I would like to immigrate permanently if given the opportunity.
