My uni is good and all you need is good German skills and hard work
Tips: Yes Germans won't accept immigrants; university is tough Getting scholarship is bit hard, not so easy Especially in my state, Bavaria, it is a bit hard for new people. You can see a lot of culture here, so it is better not to visit the southern part of Germany. The uni is good, but you need to work hard.
Likes (Safety): So all over Germany is safe except for big cities like Frankfurt and Berlin When I went to Food All Match, you will feel unsafe and there are more racist people; please kindly avoid going there A good experience is that Germans are very helpful and kind people.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently, we have no part-time jobs; the market is too slow now and very hard for everyone Very few companies sponsor visas. They are all looking for the medical field currently, so all the IT people, please do not come here; it is very hard now and requires learning a language.

A great learning experience with excellent opportunities
Tips: We need to have an open mindset when coming to a new country, as the cultural shift is real. The way we approach things in India is quite different, and you will definitely learn a lot from adapting to a new culture and environment. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. FAU is a publicly funded university, so there was only a nominal semester fee of around 300 euros every 6 months (each semester). I am very satisfied with the course, university, and Germany as a country. It has been a very positive and enriching experience.
Likes (Internships): There are always openings for internships in the companies. You just need to be proactive to find those. Companies hire interns to get their work done cheaper, and for students it provides a great atmosphere to explore working in the corporate setup. Yes, there are a lot of vacancies and openings for internships. There can sometimes be paid internships as well.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated it 4 because I bagged 3 successful job roles upon completing the degree. Once you successfully clear an interview and have a work contact, the visa office provides you with a relevant work visa based on your salary. And as a student, you can stay in the country for 18 additional months to find jobs. Salary package range is between 52k and 62k for a fresher in the IT industry.

FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg: Germany's #1 innovator
Tips: Transition is in general a character build-up that Germany does to you. It makes you take ownership of your own career with your own responsibilities. That itself is a big cultural shift. From taking care of your personal lifestyle needs to taking care of your studies and then part-time jobs, the level of independence and ownership that you are supposed to take, for example, preps, assignments, projects, and thesis—it's a wide range of spectrum.
Likes (Value for money): There was zero tuition fee in my course. Hence, the value for money in terms of the expertise that can be gained with little investment is, of course, highly positive. Currently the job opportunities are a bit fewer in the market for students, especially relevant technical ones. Otherwise, a high positive value for money is there.
Dislikes (Internships): The majority of the courses do not have a "mandatory internship," which becomes a problem for being hired as an intern because the majority of internship opportunities are for mandatory interns. There are sufficient available internship opportunities relevant to my study program in industry and academia, both.

The university is in itself one of the best for the chosen course of study.
Tips: Knowledge of German is an almost must-have. The presence of Siemens in the city makes it easier for students to get a job, provided they know all the right documentation before coming here. Sometimes consulting an education and transition counselor helps, and I also help with this.
Likes (Public transportation): The city of Erlangen is extremely well connected via public transport. Be it local trains, buses, or in the nearby adjoining cities by the metro or U-Bahn, as they call it here. The Deutschland ticket makes it easier to avail any kind of public transport except the ICE trains.
Dislikes (Internships): In Germany, you have to find such options on your own, and it has nothing to do with the university. More than internships, people tend to lean more towards part-time or student jobs known as HiWi. Internships are often unpaid or overworked, and that stresses your studies.

International Exposure with strong academic and research opportunities.
Tips: Before coming to FAU, be ready to take 100% ownership of your studies. Professors won't check up on you, so managing your own study schedule and prepping for Klausuren (exams) well in advance is essential. Outside the classroom, Germany—and the Erlangen-Nuremberg region in particular—offers a great quality of life. The VGN transport network makes commuting between campus buildings and neighboring cities effortless, and the local industry ties give you solid career prospects once you settle in.

Excellent education system with a lot of freedom
Tips: Yes, many things were different but smooth because people were very supportive and helpful. Traffic rules, punctuality, cooking on my own, managing budget and time. No, there was no scholarship involved. 100% satisfied with the course and the people. I learned so much and developed.
Likes (Indian Food): Vegan and vegetarian options are there, and the supermarkets have a lot of options, apart from Indian stores where you can get Indian ingredients. For meat eaters, there are many options too. I prefer eating at home, but sometimes I go out to eat. Food at the canteen is cheaper than in the restaurants.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work gets a low rating because landing a job here has become extremely competitive. On-campus student assistant roles (HiWi positions) are scarce due to faculty budget cuts, and dozens of students apply for every single open spot. As a result, most of us end up taking off-campus jobs—like working shifts in warehouses, delivery, or gastronomy around Nuremberg—just to pay rent and cover monthly expenses, even if it has zero relation to our field of study.

A Rewarding Journey of Academic Growth and Cultural Adaptation in Germany.
Tips: The academic culture shock coming from India to Germany is real. At FAU, self-study is everything—you are responsible for managing your own time and mastering lecture material independently. Juggling daily cooking and chores on top of your coursework feels overwhelming for the first month, but everyone adapts quickly.
Financially, there is no scholarship for me, but the student Semesterticket cuts down monthly transit expenses significantly across the VGN region. I'm really happy with my choice—FAU offers fantastic education standards and a very welcoming setup for international students.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5/5 because living between Erlangen and Nuremberg feels completely secure, even late at night. The VGN public transport network—buses, night lines, and S-Bahns—runs smoothly and feels safe to take alone after dark. In Erlangen especially, everyone bikes everywhere at all hours without any hassle. The streets and train stations are well lit, people are generally helpful if you ever get lost, and I’ve honestly never felt unsafe or run into trouble while out in the city.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany offers an excellent fast-track pathway to permanent residence within two years for local university graduates. While I would love to settle here permanently due to the high quality of life, the intense bureaucracy and heavy language barriers make the actual process quite challenging.

A hidden gem of Erlangen
Tips: It is academically challenging. You have to be passionate about your course. After all, it's rewarding at the end. There are scholarships, but I did not take any. I am satisfied with the university and country. Yes, I have transitioned a lot after coming here.
Likes (Indian Food): I cook at home. But there are options for eating outside. There are a lot of Indian restaurants. You might not miss Indian food. But it might be expensive for you as well. There are Indian, South Indian, and Maharashtrian restaurants. You can get a proper Indian meal.
Dislikes (Internships): There are no campus placements. You have to find jobs for yourself. You can find relevant internships. It could be stressful, but you have to do it by yourself. You can find it on LinkedIn or on the job portal. It is also possible to go to the job fairs.

Great University with diverse range of exposure.
Tips: What you should know before coming to FAU is that the academic flexibility here is fantastic. The department organizes schedules well, which gives you room to work part-time while keeping up with your studies. On the financial side, international students can apply for various merit-based scholarships and grants through DAAD or internal FAU schemes to help cover living costs. As long as you stay organized, managing work and study here is totally doable.

FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg: Holistic education hub in the heart of technology and innovation.
Tips: The education here promotes a hands-on approach of understanding, learning, and applying your theoretical knowledge via various opportunities. FAU recently started a tuition fee, but back then it was a tuition fee, so the new students should take finances into account while preparing for FAU.
Likes (Part time work): Erlangen and the nearby region of Franconia provide ample opportunities for all disciplines. The university itself promotes students to do part-time research work, jobs, projects, and thesis work. Several companies have their HQs providing opportunities for students. Part-time jobs are manageable, and I was able to sustain my living expenses while studying my master's.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave internships a low rating because in Germany, finding a position is 100% on you. FAU will post openings on job portals or host career fairs, but the university isn't going to place you anywhere. If you're targeting a specific niche or specialized science field, you have to do all the legwork yourself—hunting down openings on LinkedIn or company career pages, tailoring CVs, and handling endless applications solo.

Great reliable and independent university
Tips: FAU teaches real independence, especially from the academic point of view, right from preparation to passing an exam. Now that a tuition fee is introduced, I don't think some courses are worth that investment. I am extremely satisfied with the university.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are well experienced and have immense knowledge. Teaching methodology involves theoretical and practical aspects that will need pre- and post-study to understand the concepts. Its advice is to do these, or else everything that is taught would be difficult to understand. Mostly of German nationality, but that's not at all a concern.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Getting a job entirely depends on the skills and the network a student has; it takes at least 6-12 months to get one and also depends on the job market. Almost no company sponsors visas. There are exceptions, but it's not difficult to get one, as the process is structured. Salaries are low; they are a fraction of what people earn in other countries, but they come with benefits such as vacation, minimum wage, and social security.

Academic Rigor, Vibrant Life, and Profound Personal Growth
Tips: It was very easy for me to get adjusted here; we have FAU buddies who will help us initially to know about course, subjects, and exam registration information. But we have to register for the FAU Buddy program. The education style was a bit different, but I could adapt easily. Culturally, I had made international friends, and we studied together, which helped me understand different cultures. There are many scholarships we can apply for, but I didn't need one as I have a working student job, which helped me for my allowances. I am very much satisfied with my university, the course, and the country. I am shaped in a better way after completing my master's, and I am very happy for my personal development.

Practical Learning Experience with Good Career Opportunities
Tips: Before coming to FAU, the biggest reality check you need to prepare for is just how radically different the German university system is compared to India. Back home, you're used to a lot more structure, clear syllabi, and professors keeping you on track. Here at FAU, you are entirely on your own. The professors are definitely knowledgeable and will give you the basic roadmap during lectures, but they will absolutely not spoon-feed you. You’re expected to teach yourself the actual depth of the concepts, stay on top of massive reading lists, and take full ownership of your assignments from day one.
There are no internal marks or constant quizzes to force you to study throughout the semester. Everything usually rides on one massive final exam at the very end, which catches a lot of Indian students off guard. If you slack off at the beginning thinking you can just cram in the last two weeks, you will fail. Procrastination is a death sentence here. You genuinely have to build strict self-discipline and micromanage your own time right from the first week just to keep your head above water.

Multicultural university in a beautiful international town
Tips: The university is full of opportunities, but you have to find them out. The course is very helpful. Choose your internships and projects intelligently with a proper future plan. Important advice: In Germany, German language skills are very important. Without language skills, it is easy during student life but becomes difficult to crack the job market in German industry. So, take it seriously and improve your German level up to B2 or C1 over the course of your studies.
Likes (Value for money): There is no tuition fee for this course or for most of the courses here in this university. You have to pay a small amount for semester fees (120€ - 130€) for the student union and discounted public transport. Regional public transport (and DeutschlandTicket) is included in the semester fee.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Job roles offered are good. But the problem is current job market is down. Sometimes industrial internships help moving to full-time industry jobs, but that is also not guaranteed. If someone wants to stay in academia (pursuing Ph.D. and further), the options are more than industry jobs. In addition, the university funds are also being cut down due to overall economic crisis.

Transitioning into Progressive Academia
Tips: There is definitely a cultural shift, but Germany allows you to be more professional and efficient with work-life balance. I had the Max Planck Scholarship, the Femtec Women Career Scholarship, and the graduate last semester scholarship. I am quite satisfied with my course, especially since it is quite rigorous. The country is fine; it can vary personally how your expectations align with what the country has to offer.
Likes (Indian Food): Erlangen and Nuremberg have a lot of Indians, and therefore we have a lot of options for restaurants and grocery shops where you can get almost everything that you can think of, except for endemic spices or ingredients. The pricing is usually 20-30 euros per person in. Outing, and for groceries, it can vary a lot based on how much Indian cooking one prefers. I prefer cooking for myself, and my monthly Indian food grocery bills are usually 50 euros.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The companies can sponsor the visa; that is not a problem, but for international students, the market is not the most permissive since it requires language eligibility as well as specific skills that a lot of students struggle with. Within my course, most people opt for a Ph.D.; therefore, academia provides them the umbrella of staying employed and continuing post-master's.

Tips: I transitioned a lot. I changed my week of studying and a lot of cultural shifts. I did not avail in his scholarship and I am satisfied with the university, course and country though the course curriculum could be a little better but it's fine.
Likes (Indian Food): They had an Indian week in the canteen and Indian food was much wanted by everyone and even if not an Indian week they had enough options for food which were budget friendly and healthy. The food was tasty and many canteens were there.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market wasn't supported at all in teaching industry-required skills. They said skills change every five years, so it's up to you. There were no placements from the university, either part-time or full-time.

The university is very big and professors are very kind and helpful.
Tips: It is not necessary that you settle here. There are multiple factors. You need to have a good job and have good knowledge of German too. You need to find a job by yourself and the university will not help in this case so you need to be independent.
Likes (Indian Food): There are lots of options to eat but in the veg section. You will find something that has an Indian taste. But all the foods that I have tasted were very good. They are also cheap for students so you can buy them at a less price. But in the supermarket, you find multiple options and also there are lots of Indian markets.

FAU is a research-heavy and interdisciplinary university.
Tips: FAU is a research-heavy and interdisciplinary university, apt for those who are self-motivated and want to deep drive into niche areas of Science and engineering. The structure is more flexible than rigid, so students need to be independent learners. Also Erlangen is not a big city, so be prepared for a quieter student life, especially if you're used to the buzz of metro. That being said, Nuremberg is just 20 minutes away. I did receive two scholarships, DAAD PROMOS and the FAU Graduation Scholarship for short-term academic mobility (for my thesis). I applied through the university portals. Both were one time payment scholarships. The freedom to choose modules switch focus areas and be part of research projects has made a huge difference. The pros are approachable, and there's plenty of support for career development. Materials Science and Engineering at FAU offers both depth and flexibility. I have worked on everything from corrosion to electrocatalysis and even dipped my toes in ML for energy materials. Germany isn't perfect, but it has given me academic freedom, affordability and a sense of self I wouldn't trade for anything.

Decent college. But going for TUs is advisable. Also should come with some professional experience.
Tips: The course lets you specialize in the field of your choice. It's very flexible. Machine Learning is very popular at FAU. Also they are good at Robotics. If these are your areas of interest, joining the course would be recommended. These topics have lots of research and work opportunities within the university.
Likes (Indian Food): There are really good Indian restaurants available, and also Indian stores are there. The pricing is decent. A meal will cost you between 15 to 20 euros per person. I prefer cooking at home, like most of the students. All the groceries that you need are available at the supermarket or Indian stores.
Dislikes (Internships): It is really competitive and not so many internships are available as there are many students. There are a few big companies in the area, but they prefer students with work experience. Also German Language is highly desired by recruiters. Not much guidance is available. They are relevant to the course.

University is known for its best research across Germany.
Tips: The cultural shift is very important in Germany. You have to accept what they are doing and follow the rules and regulations properly. I haven't applied for any scholarship yet as I am managing my expenses through my part time job and I am satisfied with the university's work ethic and supportiveness.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day in lectures or the library at the university. Many seminars, which are important for post study jobs and innovation, are organised in the university but I prefer online seminars only which are available in English. I am not currently involved in any community or student club but if one wants then there are clubs available for it.
Dislikes (Part time work): Currently, part-time jobs are hard to get as there is are many of competition for them but after getting one, you can get around 12.80 euros - 14.53 euros per hour as per the job field. Jobs are easily manageable as you have to set availability 1 week ago and if you have lectures, you can set availability for the evening or else you can leave that spot for others who are free at that time.

University with endless possibilities with an affordable price tag
Tips: Food is the only main struggle initially, so adapt to it as soon as possible and just enjoy do more things than just studies; look out for events; we have very close by cities that you can visit using your D-ticket, so explore cities, sports, etc. Also try different beers here; every state has some beer that is local to them, so do try them all if you can.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is perfect; here there is a mentorship system where a professor is there to help you out with all the problems you can face during your studies, plus the quality is just amazing; many doctors and people with deep knowledge about the subjects teach here.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many companies that offer jobs, but given current global economic conditions, it can be a bit harder, especially if you do not know the language very well. Apart from that there is not much to say here really; especially if you know the language or speak some of it, you can get jobs easily.

Renowned and well established University
Tips: It is quite an intensive course, very deep in mathematics and computer science. It has an integrated German language requirement as well, which makes the overall course a lot more demanding. The depth of each subject is also to be taken into account. Please also be aware that the course includes a mini project and then an intense thesis.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Incredibly renowned and known faculty. Very deep and intense courses in every field. It's one of the top universities in Germany and also renowned for science and engineering. All the faculty are top researchers and professors in their field and very dedicated as teaching staff. The opportunities for research are great.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There were not a lot of Indian restaurants and grocery stores when I started, almost none. But now it has gotten better. There are some South Indian restaurants as well and a few Asian grocery stores. The Indian population there has grown drastically ever since, and thus the more options.

It is well knowledgable and friendly university
Tips: Before signing up for this program at TU Braunschweig, you need to understand that it is heavily designed as a stepping stone for academia and research. If you are expecting hands-on, practical coding labs or industry-style training workshops, you are going to be severely disappointed. The modules are deeply theoretical, abstract, and incredibly rigorous.
This creates a massive hurdle for international students, especially coming from the Indian education system. Back home, we are generally conditioned to handle mathematics using concrete numbers, formulas, and step-by-step calculations. Here at a traditional German TU, math completely shifts into a language of its own. Instead of just plugging numbers into an equation to get a quick answer, you're basically stuck writing out massive paragraphs of logic and proofs just to explain why the math works in the first place. It requires a massive mental shift in how you study, and if you don't adapt to that level of theoretical depth early on, the exam phase will be an absolute nightmare.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation is included in our semester fee, so everything becomes free for us. Since we are new to this country, we don't have any vehicles, and public transportation is the only key. My city is well connected, and we have trams and buses running frequently.
Dislikes (Internships): I rated the internship 3 out of 5 because while there are opportunities for growth, the progress of finding and securing one is very difficult. My course doesn't have mandatory internships. As a result, students need to find it on their own and apply directly to the companies.

Challenging but indeed rewarding on a longer run.
Tips: Major transition: one cannot compare the courses from India to TU Braunschweig courses—they are widely different and challenging but achievable. Not a major cultural shift in my case—I could not get a scholarship, but the university is free of cost (I used to pay around 350€ for a semester between 2016 and 2020, which covered admin fees, exam fees, and transportation). But there are DAAD scholarships, but they are very challenging with high competition—absolutely satisfied with the CSE course. One must remember it is not an easy ride; do not plan 2 years of generic M.Sc. tenure, ideally planned for 3-4 years (you will be able to support yourself financially by part-time jobs in the university or outside).
Likes (Student Life): Large, spread-out campus, many eateries and cafes around—best university library, spent a lot of time there. - Campus events were endless: Asta events, university days, expose, career advice days, meetings with industry experts, courses sometimes included visits to companies like Lufthansa Technik, etc. - Many student clubs, offering a variety of activities and courses apart from studies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants, but they cannot compare to the taste of home-cooked food or the Indian food that we get in India. - A North Indian meal for 2 would cost around 40 euros, or sometimes there are buffets for 15 euros per person. - I personally preferred cooking at home with friends most of the time. We get enough Indian and international friends in the town.

World-class research in a quiet, student-friendly city.
Tips: Coming from India, the biggest cultural shift is the quiet and orderly nature of the city. The research-environment is English friendly, but German is essential for a good daily life and to make new friends. PhD positions are typically funded by employment contracts rather than scholarships. The salary is generous relative to the average monthly cost of living and there's even room to save some money. I was highly satisfied with the research infrastructure and academic rigour at the Institute. You have a lot of collaborations with other research institutes and get exposed to high-quality cutting-edge research. The city is also very safe and affordable. Although the city is on the smaller side, it is well connected to all big cities via high-speed trains and close to Hannover International Airport.
Likes (Public transportation): You'll get a semester ticket from the university which allows you to take all the buses, trams and metro for free in your city/town. All the local trains/regional trains in the state are also available to the students for free. The public transportation is very safe, has good frequency and some lines also operate at night.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Most of the restaurants are going to focus on the European palate so the food might be bland. Vegetarian options at some of the restaurants are quite limited. There are a few completely vegetarian and vegan restaurants which can be good options for Indian vegetarians.

It’s a good college. Very friendly professors. Elevated levels in the quality of education.
Tips: Students should know exactly what they want to study and where they want to pursue their career which field they want to get into. Have clear communication with professors and do part time or internships.
Likes (Public transportation): It’s good. Free transportation for students because it comes under a semester ticket so with that we can travel throughout Germany with normal trains and buses. The campus is widespread, we can reach to the classes within 15-20 mins from the student dorm.
Dislikes (Student Life): Excellent quality of education and excellent professionalism by professors and staff, we get many opportunities to work under professors whom we desired to work with. And the university comes under the TU9 band which is equivalent to IITs in India with added advantages of an abroad life and cultural diversity groups.

Student life is fun and diverse.
Tips: Just graduating from this college won't be enough do at least 2-3 internships to land a job in the industry. Don't hurry to finish the course. If you want to stay in academia, Ph.D. courses are quite research oriented and can lead you there. There are several scholarship programmes like DAAD and Niedersachsen stipendum.
Likes (Value for money): There were no tuition fees so I am pretty satisfied with the course. It was quite research oriented course and getting an Internship in machine learning or the FEM side is relatively easier. Then it's up to a person how well they perform to get the chance for full time.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I would say post study job offers in the industry are quite less, given the market situation but research associate positions and startup positions are available with a salary package of 55000 euros. If you want to go to good paying industrial job, see how they are doing in the market and then join an internship so that you can get a conversion.
