MSc in Biophysics - Batch of 2024
4.4
A well-rounded academic and cultural experience with a vibrant student life in Berlin.
Tips: I joined the programme with a DAAD fellowship. We had meetups every 6 months where I met other students with the same scholarships from different South East Asian countries which was a great way to connect. Berlin has a large Indian community and I was actively involved in the cultural events and sports. I was also initially living with German flatmates which involved some cultural adjustments but over time I adapted comfortably.
Likes (Indian Food): Due to the wide variety and high number of restaurants in Berlin, there is more competition. Therefore, the prices are reasonable and affordable to students compared to smaller towns and cities where the availability of Indian restaurants is not much. On average, you can find at least one Indian restaurant every 1-2 km in Berlin. I generally prefer cooking at home but I occasionally eat outside too. University cafeterias are also a convenient and affordable option for regular meals.
Dislikes (Safety): Berlin is a large metropolitan city with a very diverse population, including many immigrants and homeless people. Therefore, there are occasional safety concerns, like theft. For eg, bicycle theft is quite common in Berlin. Students are therefore asked to use strong blocks and be cautious. Apart from campus security, the university provides controller access to certain buildings, student ID validation, and CCTV in common areas; however, there have been some incidents where unauthorized people have disguised themselves and entered the building. In some cases, the laptops and personal belongings have been stolen during lunch break when the rooms were attended.

Master of Science in Physics - Batch of 2025
Offered by University of Cologne
4.3
The cities are quite safe and friendly in Germany.
Tips: There are plenty of difference cultural, however it is not vast in the big cities. The BCGS scholarship is the best for Physics students coming to Bonn and Cologne. I am quite satisfied with the course and in general, I like Germany as well however finding full time jobs in 2026 is not easy. You should be aware of this.
Likes (Safety): In Germany the cities are quite safe and friendly, and the campus is open; in fact you can choose to go sit in any given class. Outside the university, most of the time it is safe, but in big cities like every part of the world, there are pretty crimes. I felt safe for the most part.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships is something that the college may help with only a little, as there is no placement cell, etc. However, there are possibilities to look for internships through friends and referrals, which is the best case scenario, and always try looking for connections.

Master of Science (MSc) in Sociology in Social Research - Batch of 2021

3.6
University of Cologne is academically oriented.
Tips: Germans are very cold and serious. I didn't have any scholarship. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my experience. Job market in Germany is good, but not for non German speakers. Professors and the university staff are usually very friendly and polite. It is better to learn German to better fit into the society.
Likes (Value for money): As it is super cheap compared to British or Irish or USA universities. German universities cost around 1k or 2k per year only. So it is great for value for money. However, not speaking Germany is hard for finding a job and living in Germany. Therefore up to you.
Dislikes (Part time work): Unfortunately I joined during covid so we could not experience part time work or seminars, or any online activities. We did not have the opportunity to experience ordinary student life due to the pandemic. But maybe now it should be better. Most of our classes were offline.
