Masters in Physics - Batch of 2027
4.5
An invigorating experience.
Tips: Physics at Heidelberg is prestigious but demands total academic independence. That is, there is no spoon-feeding, and one must manage their own exam schedules along with their classes. Advice would be to start your housing search months before you arrive here, as the market is tough. Also, learn basic German before arriving. The Sunday shutdown was a massive shift from India's hustle. I also had to adapt to German directness, which is efficient rather than rude.
Likes (Part time work): On-campus HiWi are easy to get by, especially in the experiential sector. It isn't easy to manage studies along with HiWi, but it also largely depends on the major that a student is planning to take. The average payout may depend on the task as well as the funding of that particular group, which might be between 300-600 euros. There are also mini-jobs available for students, which are also a good option to consider.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are hard to find and also super expensive. I usually cook at home because all the necessary ingredients are easily available at the supermarket or Indian stores. Although there are places around that host Indian buffets for affordable prices, and also, there are also communities that engage in making Indian food.

Challenging course with a good learning environment.
Tips: The coursework can be intensive and might require effort to perform well. I was also offered a scholarship by the university to which I had applied. As for Germany, I am still getting used to the culture and language.
Likes (Internships): As the university has a good reputation, it is possible to get a good internship. The university also offers internships to work inside some of the labs of the university. These internships will be dependent on the field of your study and you will be selected on the basis of your expertise.
Dislikes (Student Life): The course offered requires a good amount of self study. There are 2 lectures/course per week and 1 exercise/lec for each course, a student will have 15 hours of lecture/exercise/week and on top of that they have to study on their own to get the best grades. What I enjoyed the most about the college life is what the campus offers. Great library, communal space, variety of food. There are also a lot of clubs on campus to fulfil your interests.

A beautiful adventure awaits.
Tips: Germany is a beautiful country, to begin with, and Heidelberg is the cherry on the top. There aren't many cultural socks I faced while coming from India except that people here are strict regarding the laws and the rules. There are many unsaid rules such as you have to let people offboard before you onboard, you are supposed to carry your ID cards wherever you are travelling etc. I am very satisfied with the course and the country I am in and would ask everyone to definitely check it out as one of your options.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of faculty is top notch especially in Europe, with scientists around the world and professors highly educated and qualified, it is one of the best universities to study in. The teaching methods are similar to what is followed in other European universities but the quality every professor has is phenomenal.
Dislikes (Value for money): For every university in Baden Wurttemberg, an international student from a non-EEA country has to pay a 1500 Euros semester contribution including Indians. This fee is different from the semester fee of 151 Euros and I feel that this is a bit expensive considering the other universities in other states. Also, you have to buy a 27 Euros monthly pass as you do not get a Deutschland ticket at this university.

Heidelberg: An enchanting student city
Tips: Joining the University of Heidelberg was one of the best decisions I took in my life. It's the biggest hub of astronomy in the whole of Germany, with more than 400 researchers working in various fields of astronomy. The university provides a lot of majors to specialize in, which makes it very diverse. One of the university's most attractive features is its very flexible system when it comes to taking courses. The university doesn't impart a fixed curriculum to students; instead, the choice of courses is left to students' discretion. The professors are active researchers who impart lectures while keeping a research mentality in mind. They also respect international students and often advise students to make the most out of university life. They are very approachable, and students can do research assistantships in their group for credit or money. Students can also do various part-time jobs easily without risking their education and can earn a good living. Germany's infrastructure is brilliant which actively supports a fit and healthy lifestyle. Though there is a bit of a housing crisis in Heidelberg, good planning in advance can help deal with this issue. The university also hosts multiple student canteens and a big central library, which are open till 1 a.m. The campus provides multiple sports facilities and classes, including skiing and word-fighting. The city also hosts multiple advanced research institutes like Max Planck Institutes and EMBL, allowing students to get research experience through internships. Heidelberg itself is a small, beautiful student city with a river flowing through the city and multiple scenic trekking routes all around the city. Heidelberg is only a few minutes away from Mannheim, providing brilliant connectivity to the rest of Germany and to the majority of the neighbouring countries. This also allows us to explore the rest of Europe during our semester break.
Likes (Safety): Heidelberg is one of the safest student cities in Germany. It has considerably fewer shady places compared to other big cities, and public transport is nice, ensuring safe passage throughout the city. There is a police station at all the major points in the city, and police patrols are regular. Apart from the facilities, the inhabitants of the city are very responsible and caring. I have personally never witnessed a bad situation or crime in my 2 years of living here, and I have also walked freely in the city, even at 2 a.m.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Heidelberg hosts a variety of Indian restaurants ranging from North Indian to South Indian food, which cost 20 euros per person for a good dinner. I prefer cooking myself as I can get all the ingredients very easily, including all the masalas, from the Indian stores and it's cost-effective.

Good faculty and provide best internships.
Tips: I've got to know this college from a close friend of mine. Initially I found a few difficulties in culture, language, etc, but soon I got habituated to it.
I availed a scholarship, I'm completely satisfied with this university and my favourite course and the country is awesome.
Likes (Indian Food): All restaurants are good, but I've tried only about five near the university. The prices are above average and some foods are overpriced. It's okay and worth it if the food is good. I mostly cook with my friend in my room, and we occasionally go out for dinner.
Dislikes (Internships): Professors and seniors guidance was helpful in finding internships relevant to my field of study. Because they are relevant, I developed an interest and performed my internship well, the chances of getting a job at the company are high.

Great university with modern facilities and big campus.
Tips: I learned a lot, made some great friends, and gained some valuable life experience. And the campus was beautiful too. The university is a public research university in the city of Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. There are a lot of cultural shifts, so it is up to you how well you adjust and retain your values while you adjust so that you don’t feel lost. You can obviously search for your type of people and will surely find them, but it just takes a little effort. I would definitely recommend Heidelberg University to any student looking for a high-quality education.
Likes (Student Life): My peer group was fabulous and there were so many opportunities, just looking for the right one that suits you the most. It was just what I was looking for. I am amazed that not many people know about it, but you can apply for a lot of scholarships there too.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation may take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you will find it to be quite nice. It is affordable too, but use your money wisely, and it may be a good idea to pick someone you trust to be your guardian.

Try to opt for a public university.
Tips: There are multiple things one has to go through when they migrate, definitely it tests you academically and professionally too but the biggest challenge is the cultural shift, finding accommodation and managing relations at work and at the shared housing is a difficult thing to do. University was good and provided some amount of comfort & was provided a merit based scholarship.
Likes (Indian Food): Vancouver has a lot of Indian restaurants and also tiffin services. Although eating out every day is not affordable but knowing that we can find the taste that pleases us in the close vicinity brings some sort of comfort. The tiffin services provide fresh indian meals for the whole day.
Dislikes (Value for money): The fee increases every quarter. Students should prefer a public university at this price point. The fees not only become a barrier but also create frustration in the mind of student because they are not provided with the kind of infrastructure they deserve after paying such a hefty amount.

It is the way you look at it. If you want to just study well or be just well to study.
Tips: Just be prepared that everything is going to be different from what we have seen in India. Be open to learning anything and leave the attitude we have in India despite being from a Rich or Poor family. Start to learn and explore according to your life goal. Check with the university and the agents how the scholarship works. If you have managerial experience, please work on it and not get enrolled on a foundation course.
Likes (Public transportation): You just need to get the hang of the location where you and the University are. You will find multiple options and can travel around easily. We have accessible sky trains, and buses everywhere. A bit of walking is needed though. Check with people around you if there are easy ways to reach your destination in less time.
Dislikes (Value for money): We need to be more understanding of how the courses we selected or were opted for, this can save a lot of money. We need to take multiple opinions before we opt for any course. Also, the comparison has to be done from one University to the other. You should be confident enough to avail as many offers or scholarships as we can.

Stressful and helpful. Students can face a hard time financia as courses are expensive
Tips: Courses are expensive so accumulating fees for each semester can be difficult. All this needs to be planned early so this is not a last-minute stress factor for students coming to Canada. Finding jobs can also be difficult. These are the things students should know before joining.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very helpful and welcoming faculty. Maintain a good rapport with the faculty members as they are very helpful towards the students. Faculty members are considering and willing to help as long as they see you put in effort. This is why I have rated 5 for faculty.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Cut-off scores in Canada can be a huge headache and the process can be really tiring and exhausting despite the time money and efforts we international students have put in. This can be a very stressful process. This is why I have rated 3 on permanent residency immigration or settlement options.

One will experience diversity in culture.
Tips: There wasn't any cultural shift to be honest. But there is a lot of diversity in this University and all the students respect and value every culture around. The atmosphere is really productive. I availed 6k CAD as scholarship on the basis of my Bachelor's result. I am very satisfied with my University.
Likes (Student Life): There are lot of events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities for students to take part in. The unique trait of this university is that it actually give attention to each and every student to help them flourish. They also celebrate festivals across the region to help students learn about and celebrate various cultures around the globe.
Dislikes (Internships): Very strict guidelines to be able to get one. Moreover, getting an internship in the respective field of study is hard in general. Furthermore, there is fierce competition in the market as one has to compete with elite universities in the same province, such as UBC, SFU, and BCIT.

I like my college very much as there are so much things on campus to do if we get bored
Tips: Since I moved to Canada, there has been a lot of change in my life as I started making new friends. In India, we speak in our local language but in Canada, I have to only speak in English which made me more fluent.
I thought there would be a cultural difference but the day before yesterday only our college threw a Diwali party for the students which made us like we were in our own country. I got scholarship on a merit and on IELTS basis which was 45% of the total course fees. I am pretty much satisfied with the university and the teachers and the managing staff are quite helpful to the students coming from India especially.
Dislikes (Safety): There are shuttle services which students can apply by their university identity card to opt for a discount on monthly passes.
Safety wise Vancouver is pretty much safe.
There are discounts on grocery stores and in Target they have a scheme for the students like 15-20 percent off on the college goodies.

Overall it is a good experience to study in University Canada West
Tips: I would say that one student should understand the requirements of the subject which students have chosen. Because there is a lot of difference in the structure of the study. Please pay close attention to the assignment for eg plagiarism APA etc. For scholarships, students have to maintain 72% or 3 CGPA grades in order to be eligible.
Dislikes (Internships): I have not heard of any internship programs at the university. I got to know from my seniors that only selected students get the chance for internships. Only those who have outstanding scores throughout the course.

One of the best reputed colleges in British Columbia.
Tips: The college has a very good curriculum. They are very focused on what the students need after completing their Masters. Anyone new joining the college should focus on selecting the correct professor as this is very important.
They have very good scholarship programs which help students.
Likes (Indian Food): We have many Indian food options in Vancouver city. There are many Indian stores where we can get Indian groceries easily. Many are worried about the utensils, but we get all Indian utensils here so people should not be worried about it. It's available very easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of opportunities in Canada but they all require a lot of references, which is difficult to find. Another difficulty is that we come from different countries so our resumes are not as per Canadian job market requirements. Lastly, in consideration of our PR, they do not consider our past experiences.

UCW: Home away from home experience
Tips: The placement rate at UCW is quite high, I've had the experience to meet and greet with some of the UCW alumni of Indian origin at the time of our orientation, some of whom were placed with PwC and Amazon and for them, the university couldn't have been any better. Be it the quality of faculty or the rapport of university in the Canadian corporate, the university has it all. And how can one forget about academic scholarships, there are plentiful of them! You can even get a single entrant award if you can prove to be good. Also, the Indian community here is very welcoming and Indian festivals are celebrated with joy and fervor. It'll be a home away from home experience for you!

My university is very good and the professors are also great and helpful.

Likes (Part time work): There are many people from different parts of the world. The environment is friendly. The professors are very good and understanding. The majority of students in classes are Indians. Every semester many new students come to study at this university.
