MBA European/Asian Management - Batch of 2022
4.4
A perfect foot hold to enter Germany and begin your journey in the EU culture.
Tips: I chose to be part of the culture of Germany/EU, and of course, there is a cultural shift from polychronic to a monochronic culture. This is a good thing. Embrace, learn and enjoy this culture and it will help you, in turn, appreciate your home culture as well. There are a few scholarships available from DAAD, a loan, also a 500 Euro recommendation gift for joining the college. The university is located in Bremen, which is a relatively small town and much cheaper than the big cities. Jobs have to be applied online so starting from Bremen was the best. The university and course were decent. Nothing exceptional but a good basic MBA. Language is the only barrier to setting up in Germany.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Teaching and faculty are good. That was the best part of college. The teaching was less theoretical and mostly practical. There were group assignments and presentations. You as a student, won't feel any discrimination or biases of any kind.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university itself does not help arrange any interviews, meet-ups, or company placements. You need German language fluency if you want to apply for jobs and internships. (only IT jobs available in English). You do not need a sponsor visa via this route of doing studies and then working. You just need to find a job in your field. Salary packages are capped by the government. Minimum after an MBA is 45,000/annum Euro. Usually, 55,000 - 80,000 is offered, besides perks. Language is the only barrier.

Not fully satisfied, but manageable seeing the current situation and market.
Tips: There were lots of things to adjust. It took time but it was good. Received also scholarship. Keeping up without funding and learning German is hard. I am satisfied with the course but it was stressful to keep up and without support, it is really hard. Not primarily focused on your future but just related to study.

A grand German adventure in a quaint student town.
Tips: The culture shock that you will get is only initially. But once you find friends, it’s very easy going and you will love the quaint town of Bremen. You might find loads of part time opportunities. Scholarships are difficult but you can definitely apply for them. I was very satisfied because I got great faculty, amazing friends and an internationally recognised degree. So all the best.
Likes (Post study jobs): You will get all the help from the faculty, the alumni and the students who are already working as Werkstudent (student work). Sponsored visas, well, not so many nowadays as there is a language barrier for full time jobs. Starting packages can vary based on your experience and job role. But on average, it’s between 40,000 - 50,000 euros for maybe developers. It can go even higher if you get selected in R&D.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food in restaurants are quite expensive. It will be better to buy stuff or ingredients from Indian stores and cook for yourself. It will be cheaper and taste better.

Best public university for students.
Tips: Well trained faculty plus less fees compared to other universities. The university has organised all events and supported getting internships. The campus is good and well maintained. The culture and atmosphere were really nice.
Likes (Part time work): Good campus and safe for students. Culture and atmosphere are good for students who want to study and meet new people. Life was really good for students to create events or other social and cultural activities. All other facilities are available to read and study and get information.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Well trained and practical oriented staff available. We got all the materials to read and learn. We got assignments or notes to solve and study about subject. We got individual support for exams and gave every other support to graduate and get a good job.

Don't just come as a student but come with the mindset of building a better lifestyle.
Tips: Apply for student accommodation at least 6 months to 1 year before. Do city registration, pay bills on time. Start learning a language from India, even though the courses are in English but anyway, you have to learn a language for jobs so be ready to explore once you arrive. Don't just sit in your room. Explore the city, meet people. Expect to do a lot of things by yourself like applying for jobs when arriving here in the first month, dont wait to finish your classes and then apply. Scholarship is based on an early bird discount. University is good and very international. Later scholarship for your expenses is also available in Bremen when you do your thesis, which is around 300 per month.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Chances of permanent settlement are good if you have a good job in this country and the process is easy, though a bit lengthy, only if you don't have proper documentation, like a German language Certificate. I would settle permanently here. Most people think they get exactly what they have in India. You have to do everything by yourself. Accept people will be straightforward, not because they are rude but because they dont know how to butter. Bureaucracy is slow but PR is easy if you accept this reality as well. This is not limited to documentation.
Dislikes (Value for money): The MBA programme is highly practical with a strong focus on case studies, field trips, and presentations. However, the tuition fee is relatively high compared to the actual value delivered. As each modules complete in one or 2 weeks. Lots of work you need to do by yourself. Research, assignment. Professors are helpful but some take time to reply. But this university is still better in terms of money than other private universities. First of all this is a public institution affiliated with Hochschule Bremen. So with tuition fees, you can see a lot of things are also there in the city with students.

Bremen is a small city, well connected and extremely punctual.
Tips: This acts as a good gateway to your career in Europe because it's a public university, but if you really need quality studies, maybe this might not be the first option. But as per the tuition fee and cost of living, it is really worth it, because other universities charge way more than this. The professors are helping, but the only thing is that you need to talk and be kind of pushy to be helpful with the opportunities outside. The university also gives a mandatory certificate, which makes it a bit easier to get internships, as the tax for the compulsory internships is very minimal and even the hours do not count.
Likes (Public transportation): Bremen is a small city, well connected and extremely punctual. The frequency of the buses and trams is also better than in other cities I have lived in. Many times I had to go home late from the city Centre and there was at least a bus every one hour.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It took me a while to understand the job market. Even though I did not get direct help from the University, talking to a lot of seniors and pass-outs helped me and made me realise that knowing many people is really important here. There is no such thing as placements. There is, of course, a career guide department that helps you work on the CV, attend interviews in a different cultural communication style. I really think if you network efficiently, there is scope; if you do not put those efforts, it is a bit complicated to get the desired job.

Practical exposure and nice learning environment.
Tips: It's very important to be dynamic and adjust if you are moving to another country. Do respect the culture and people of you want to learn and network. I have availed a DAAD scholarship which of 1000 euros, as I was very active in college and associated with NGOs helping international students.
Likes (Public transportation): There are trams everywhere and it is well connected to different parts of the city. Also, there is an option of travelling by buses and trains. The good part is that with a semester ticket, provided by the university, all these public transport and even the local library are accessible and free.
Dislikes (Student Life): Bremen is a small city and there are less option for socialising. So, for better vibes, nearby cities like Hamburg are better. I used to travel a lot to different cities. During college days, I used to visit cultural functions organised by different countries on a weekly basis. I also joined a local event group for language improvement.

MBA Global Management - Batch of 2025

Ideal for anyone who is willing to work smart and hard.
Tips: Be ready for a massive cultural shift and for a super busy schedule. You would have to do your research and keep yourself updated with everything as nothing will be given to you. In the end your ROI depends on how much hard work and smart-work your are able to pull off. College offers brilliant infra and ecosystem. You just have to ensure that you make the best use of all the facilities and options.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Super approachable and always responds over email and for a quick chat post class. Teaching methods are quite modern, interactive and based on a practical approach. We had over 20+ nationalities in our class, making each and every discussion broader and more diverse.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no guidance as such. There are general seminars but you have to pick what best works for you and use your own research and then implement as per your requirements. Availability depends on which location you are looking at. Bremen has limited options but Hamburg and other major cities offer quite a lot of options.

A peaceful and cozy life in Germany.
Tips: Students should be ready to go to classes, manage to find a part-time job, study the German language, and search for internships before they complete the course. I have extended my subject so that I can manage my language learning skills, part-time work, and the course. At least two semesters of the course will cover the fundamentals of German. During this time, you can start preparing for finding an internship.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is usually on time in Bremen because it’s a well-organised city. There are also plenty of buses and trams, so you can usually get to your destination within ten minutes. In addition, there’s a transportation service every 30 minutes in the early morning and late at night.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I don't think there are many big companies near Bremen or in Bremen. Usually, in the south of Germany, we have many big MNCs or industries compared to the north. If I wanted a good job, then I think I would move to another city in the south for better opportunities.

A short & sweet experience
Tips: This university has mostly Indian students which is good and bad at the same time! But overall, the course is very short and sweet. So you'll never know by the time it ends. The program is mostly practical rather than theoretical, so it's fun to learn. Get clarity on your specialization in the very beginning, because there's always some ambiguity with it.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport and connectivity is one of the best in Germany. There is a tram station right in front of the campus. The campus is centrally located and takes only 10 mins from the Hauptbahnhof. If you're a party geek, then know that the trams run all night!
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university promotes and informs about job fairs, but getting an opportunity for full time jobs without German language is not easy! They organise company visits but in the end, it all comes down to the language. It's not hard to get a job in Germany, but quite hard in Bremen.

Life and learnings at Hof University.
Tips: Initially, adjusting to the culture was challenging as it was my first time being so far from home. However, things became smoother over time. Securing a part-time job and making new friends made the experience worthwhile. There are scholarship opportunities available for students with good academic performance. I am fully satisfied with my course and the university.
Likes (Safety): Mostly, residential areas in Germany are very quiet and calm, and it's very safe to walk around, even at night. I once even forgot my phone on public transport, but I was able to get it back due to the good security. Additionally, Germany offers student discounts on public transportation, which is very beneficial.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian finding Indian food isn't an issue in Germany with numerous Indian and Asian restaurants available everywhere. The prices are also reasonable. I eat Indian food about once a month, and it's easy to find all the necessary products to cook Indian dishes.

A close-knit campus with global and creative opportunities.
Tips: The transition to Germany was both exciting and challenging. I experienced a cultural shift mainly in independent and punctual life here, and also in the direct way people communicate, which I've grown to appreciate. I haven't applied for any scholarships yet, but Hof University offers various scholarships like DAAD, Deutschland Stipendium, and other scholarships. Overall, I am very much satisfied with my university as the professors are approachable, the course is well-structured, and the country offers a safe and international environment that allows me to grow both academically and professionally.
Likes (Student Life): There will be regular lectures, seminars, and presentations. The university campus is very calm and serene, offering a good atmosphere for students to study. The library is well-equipped, and the university campus offers various facilities. Regular career-related and community-based events take place at the university. Hof University has clubs for sports, international networking, entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and student representation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are few Indian restaurants but they lack authenticity and are expensive. I would rather prefer trying local cuisines and cooking Indian food at home. There are few supermarket which have a large selection of Indian groceries and frozen items. Also one can go to a nearby larger city like Nuremberg to buy Indian groceries.

Practical and industry-oriented.
Tips: This is a very good course. The internship opportunities are excellent and significantly enhance your CV for future full-time positions. The only consideration is the semester fee of 3500 euros. Apart from that, it's fantastic. Before coming to Germany, it's crucial to learn German to at least a B1 level, and having at least two years of experience in India will make life much easier.
Likes (Indian Food): There are various options available both on and off campus. The canteen occasionally offers Indian food, and they also have vegan options. However since you've come so far I encourage you to embrace the local cuisine it's quite good as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are some student assistant jobs, require you to contact different professors. There are off campus jobs but those usually require good German skills. There are also some helping jobs in production facilities that don't require much German.

Helpful teachers, friendly students, and a welcoming culture.
Tips: First of all, students should know basic German, at least A1-A2 level, to interact easily with others and take part in discussions; without it, they may feel left out. They should also be hardworking and punctual to complete assignments and tests on time. I did not receive any scholarship, as my current university had a tie-up with a German university, so I went directly through my college. Overall, it was a very good experience. Germany is technologically advanced, offers great exposure, and the industrial visits added immense value to my learning.
Likes (Student Life): I always felt secure both on campus and in the surrounding areas. The environment is peaceful, crime rates are low, and public transportation is reliable even at night. The university also has good safety measures and support systems for students, which made me feel confident about my well-being.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing good opportunities often depends on your language proficiency. While the education and course were in English, many quality internships require at least A1 or A2 level German. Professors can provide some guidance, but most of the effort has to come from you. Opportunities are available, yet obtaining them relies heavily on your skill set, networking, and initiative.

Tips: Consider the cost of living and have a backup plan if you don't find a part-time job. Learning German is highly beneficial for the German job market. I am satisfied with both the course and the country, as they offer valuable opportunities and learning experiences, not just within the university, but for life in general.
Likes (Safety): There are no cameras, but the city is mostly secure. We have travelled at night many times without any issues. The streets are well-lit, and police vehicles patrol the area. There isn't much noticeable pollution either.
Dislikes (Part time work): There aren't many part-time jobs in the area, as Hof is a small city. To find work, you may need to travel, which is feasible. Part-time work can be managed alongside studies, with an average payout between 13 to 15 euros.

The university is good and is really well integrated with classrooms, a gym, the mess, etc.
Tips: I believe everyone transforms once they have international exposure. You get to see that people enjoy the sauna more than the gym. Winters are cold and empty, while summers are lively. I was fortunate enough to be selected for a semester scholarship from Erasmus. It was 1800 euros. It helped a lot with the expenses you have as an international student. Satisfied with the university, especially my course, as I come from a different professional background.
Likes (Student Life): Since it is a small city and the highest in Bavaria, coming from India, you get to see snowfall every winter. The college is really well integrated with classrooms, a gym, the mess, and everything else - it’s a complete package. You have many events like a boom party, a Halloween party, and a job fair etc. I was an active member of the SV, which is the student union. You also have the ISN, which is the International Student Network, a Christian Student Group, Hofspannung, and many others.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Although there is one restaurant, Ganesha, where you can find Indian food, the taste isn't on par with the Indian palette. Instead, the curries are sweet. When you're out eating, try doner, local bakeries, or pizza shops. But if you really crave Indian food, I recommend cooking it yourself. YouTube can really help, too. Plus, as a student, cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out, and that's helpful if you're on a budget.

Tips: Hof University offers a lot of variety in MBA programs, so you can always choose whatever suits your background or future ambitions.

Not worth the fees but a good university.
Tips: The university offers the program at a very basic level. I knew all of it when I was studying. They explained in the curriculum that there would be a more in-depth coverage, which didn't happen, which is pretty disappointing. The university has a career service where students can get their resumes reviewed. They will then suggest if any corrections need to be made according to the standards of the hiring managers. Students are expected to find their own internships, and LinkedIn is generally a good place to find advertisements for them.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well-connected, but the bus, the only public transportation option, has low frequency. Buses only arrive hourly, and a semester ticket covers the cost of riding the bus within the city. A person interested in walking a lot will surely enjoy it here.

Hof University is great for learning and it’s very friendly for international students.
Tips: I have started living my life on my own, and there was not very much of a cultural shift as there are many Indians in the university. I didn't get a scholarship, but there are no tuition fees for a master's degree as it's a public university. The criteria for admission are a 2.5 GPA, a German A1 Certificate and an IELTS band score of 7.0. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the course and the country.
Likes (Safety): I have been in the city for 3 months and haven't experienced or heard of any safety issues. It's very safe to travel around the city at night, too. Plus, many people in the city are willing to help in case you encounter any problems or are in a bad situation. I can always go out or come home at night without worrying about being unsafe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is only one Indian store nearby that is also located in Hof, even though the Textile Campus is located in Münchberg. There are also only three restaurants nearby, which are also located in Hof and not Münchberg. A meal there usually costs 15 euros. For the most part, I just cook for myself.

A peaceful, relaxed and hard working life.
Tips: Management here is very good. If you ask for any help, they will definitely help you. I applied for a scholarship, but unfortunately, I was not qualified for that. Satisfied with my course, and also they have even introduced a new course for us as perones based on the needs of the market need.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very welcoming and highly understanding. They will also assist you with assignments and practicals. There's always something happening, whether it's cultural events, workshops, class activities, a career fair or just students changing out. It's easy to make friends, get involved and feel like you're part of a community.

A supportive, warm, and welcoming university.
Tips: There is a cultural shift to be aware of. In Germany, shops close at 8 pm every day, including weekends and public holidays. I got a scholarship with Bosch and applied for it through their portal. During my six months there, I worked for 35 hours a week as an intern. It’s very easy to find internships during the course. I was lucky enough to get one in Stuttgart with a decent remuneration, which is usually enough for daily expenses. The experience is excellent as you get to learn so much within the work environment. The colleagues are also excellent and supportive. Overall, I am satisfied with my university and the country is very welcoming.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Finding Indian food options is rather difficult. There are 2-3 Indian restaurants, but they are slightly expensive. Usually, it takes around 25 euros to dine at an Indian restaurant per person. I prefer cooking myself as it’s cheaper because other cuisines are relatively cheaper.

Practical learning with strong industry exposure at Hof University.
Tips: Hof University offers practical learning and strong industry tries, but students should be prepared for independent study and German bureaucracy. The transition involved a cultural shift in academics, work-life balance, and social life, with the language barrier being a challenge Learning German helps significantly. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university and course. Germany provides good career opportunities, though adapting to the weather and culture takes time.
Dislikes (Part time work): As Hof is a small city with lots of students it becomes difficult to get on-campus jobs and also it's difficult to get a job outside because of the language barrier. If you found a job the average payout for a part-time job will range around 900-1200.

The university is student friendly and the city is welcoming.
Tips: Before coming to college in Germany, especially for management courses, it is important to be well prepared in the German language. Fortunately, there are many Indians in Hof, so connecting with them through social media and WhatsApp groups is not difficult. The university also provides a lot of help through its portal to find initial accommodation. If you are a high achiever, the university offers scholarships after the first semester to students who are in the top 10% of their batch. I am satisfied with the course, which is operations-oriented and includes a one-year internship that provides valuable experience in Germany before entering the job market.

Public transportation is cheap, student life is the best.
Tips: Considerably cultural shift, it is very hard in the beginning, homesickness is something that got me at first but then I made friends (Please do that!). Campus is modern with all the facilities and things are very fast-paced. Just that in general management course there is a gap between the exams so there is semester extension limit. I came to Germany on DAAD, 930 euros what else I need plus top-notch education. I'm very satisfied and have zero complain.
Likes (Safety): It is safe usually some people are friendly and some are not that much. Some can even be racist at times but well that is something to be learned and deal with patience. Other than that there is no threat, things are cool and transportation is also cheap just 1-2 euro ticket for buses and trams.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The price is fair but the market has not many options. At Ganesha I have tried butter chicken and mango lassi. Well, there is a huge demand for butter chicken in foreign nations so it is believed that it is the most Indian dish (Laugh!). Per person, I guess it costs around 25-30 euros and the taste is okay.

Students should learn some German and IELTS is mandatory.
Tips: Prospective students should learn some German and have an IELTS. Check the university website for accurate information. I am satisfied with my university, M.A. in Global Management, and my time in Germany. I did not receive any scholarships, and I trained myself to perform all my tasks.
