Suggestions for Improvement in practical Education & Classroom Diversity
Tips: Before joining, students should know that English-taught programs often have a large South Asian student community. I also think students should carefully consider the tuition fees. For a private university, I found the tuition fees reasonable, but if you have the opportunity to study at a good public university in Germany, it may be worth considering because tuition fees are generally much lower or even absent. I would rate my university experience around 3 out of 5. I think there is room for improvement in the quality of education and practical learning. At the same time, having students from different cultural backgrounds is also an important part of education because you learn different perspectives from each other. I have changed a lot since I first came to Germany. In the beginning, the culture, education system, working environment, and everyday life were all new to me. Over time, I became more independent, confident, and adaptable. One important thing I learned is that university can provide theoretical knowledge, but personal and professional development also depends on your own effort. You have to take responsibility for your growth and continuously improve yourself. I did not receive any scholarship. I also did not actively look into scholarship opportunities at that time, so I cannot comment on the allowance or application process. Overall, I would rate my university experience 3 out of 5. The course gave me a good theoretical foundation, but I believe there is room for improvement in practical education. One thing I will always remember positively is advice from a faculty member on my first day. I was worried about how I would manage in Germany and build my career. He told me, u201cYou will achieve everything, but it is step by step. You have to climb the steps before reaching your destination. u201d I still remember and follow this advice. Germany has helped me become much more independent and confident. Looking back, I can SEE how much I have grown si
Likes (Safety): Honestly, compared to other cities, I feel Berlin is much safer, and it's actually very good to get different types of cuisine, and definitely there are a lot of food options for Indian food lovers. And the transport is also good, it has great connections you can travel all over Berlin with your student ticket. And for the food options, your university also provides you with the Mensa student food card, where you can get very cheap and amazing food options.
Dislikes (Value for money): I would say the tuition feels are justified. However, the tuition feels is lesser than any other private university, there aren't many, and it can be better if they focused a little to provide practical knowledge. The most important part of this university is that you will mostly find south Asian community.

Worst experience in international university of applied sciences Berlin.
Tips: Don't join! Not worth it. Maybe they changed their location and full course structure, so it will be different, but my experience was really bad. First of all, we didn't have a campus, no clubs, no community, no celebration. Firstly, it was non-mandatory classes later, after a university Court case, mid-course they changed everything exams, compulsory attendance- to resolve a visa issue. They extended the semester (for free). But not worth it waste of time and money. Also, employers' reputation is not good. I feel discriminated against because for German students they arrange events, and even their student office is different on campus from the one for indian students. They have a different student office with little to no activity. Once my friend went to a professional event arranged by them on campus that we wanted to join, the staff said it was not for indian students. So it was disappointing.
Likes (Public transportation): Berlin's connectivity is very good. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn are very convenient, and there are also buses. The public transportation fees are paid by the university it's included in feels so no problem. I currently live in Frankfurt. I moved there for an internship, but regional travel is also very convenient nowadays. ICE is more expensive that's why I rely on FlixTrain. If we book FlixTrain a month or so in advance, it's very cheap.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Our tutors are fine, but we don't learn from real professors who set exams professors work remotely with little to no help. 1) We have Outlook, so we can text them, and their replies are usually very vague. 2)I have absolutely no clue about my teaching faculty, but yes, our one tutor was so good, but unfortunately, he left the university.

Visa situation after the university
Tips: Most of the things they have to do on their own, and the university does not confirm the visa situation for the future because many students have experienced visa refusal even after completing the degree at this university. The situation was quite depressing when students had to leave Germany mid-degree.
Likes (Public transportation): Berlin has quite good transportation facilities. Trams and the U-Bahn rarely go on strike there. And the S-Bahn used to run regularly; it is quite easy to get to the university. Initially can be a bit confusing, but later you get familiar with where u have to get transfers and transport.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Initially, the staff was extremely experienced, but later they reduced the qualite, some of them were from Pakistan and India and were not able to pronounce some basic accounting terminology. And they used up a lot of the students' time.

My College was nice but my suggestion to any student would be to go for a Public University.
Tips: Studying here requires self-learning and Time management. Learning German is also very, very important. It was a big transition, but slowly, slowly everything becomes normal. Keep yourself positive. I did not get any scholarship, I came through UpGrad. Overall, I am happy. This college gave me international exposure. Finding a job is really challenging here, especially without German. But all this experience makes you more independent day by day.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5 because the campus is well connected to the city. There are several transportation options available, including Bus, Tram, S-Bahn, and U-Bahn. For 63 euros, you can buy the Deutschland Ticket. For a whole month, you can travel throughout Germany and use any transportation.

Great Environment, Lackluster Job Support
Tips: Moving here was a positive cultural experience mainly because the city feels incredibly secure and student-friendly day and night. However, prospective students should know that the university lacks strong career infrastructure. I managed without scholarships, but value for money is low due to minimal internship guidance, limited part-time job avenues, and sparse industry networking. The academics and student atmosphere are average, but you must be prepared to do all the heavy lifting yourself if you want to gain practical work experience.
Likes (Safety): Very Low Crime Rate: A city is safe in every sense of the term, and there is no sense of danger or harassment in the city. A Warm and Friendly City: The city’s inhabitants take care to make it a warm and friendly city for the student so that he/she can feel valued and respected. Well-Lit Infrastructure and Roads: The city’s infrastructure, roads, residential places, and even the university campus are well-lit during the night and do not give a sense of being deserted. Safe and Convenient Transportation: A student can explore the city on foot or by bicycle conveniently.
Dislikes (Internships): Not any internship through the university; no help from the university. The university career center provides almost no help with internships, campus drives, or any kind of outreach for helping students to get internships. No Campus Drives: Almost no campus drives, career fairs, or company meet-ups by the university to bring the students in contact with prospective employers. Weak Links to Industry & Alumni Network: The university lacks active connections with local and national companies, as well as an alumni network, which means that cold outreach is the only way out for the students.

My college was really good as far as the curriculum was concerned.
Tips: Before joining any university in Germany, a student must focus on which study program he or she is interested in and, most crucially, the modules they choose because they need to pass the exams. At the same time, it is quite important to know that a student must do an internship before completing the course.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Student life is very flexible, as the classes are no more than 2 hours per day and help to keep a balance between academics and day-to-day activities. Especially in Germany, you get a lot of part-time job opportunities, so you can save money for future expenses and also have the platform and ample time to learn the German language at the best level.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty has immense industry and corporate experience prior to becoming a Professor, thats what helps the students to understand the current market trends and provides an in-depth understanding of industry standards. Their vast experience in diverse fields helps students with better career prospects.

Easy, simple, important, diversed
Tips: They should be prepared to experience culture difference different study styles. Language barrier. Apply for a scholarship if there is any, and just have an open mind when you come here. You should learn at least a basic level of German, which will help you on a daily basis.
Likes (Student Life): We have multiple gathering functions, cultural functions, and parties in our campus bar where you can meet different people every time. You get to learn new things and get to know more cultures. Get to try different food. You get an opportunity to make new friends.
Dislikes (Internships): The teachers here are very nice, the departments and faculty are very organised, and they help students in any way possible. They care about students, the teaching faculty is also very diverse. All the teachers are super friendly and helpful. You will have absolutely no issue fitting in.

A great place for flexible and independent learning
Tips: Students should know that the university requires self-study, good time management, and self-discipline. The transition was smooth. No, I didn't avail myself of any scholarships. Overall, I'm somehow satisfied with university, the course, and Germany as a study destination.
Likes (Indian Food): Giving Indian food options a 5/5 was a no-brainer because finding familiar ingredients around campus and the city is surprisingly easy. There’s a great mix of local spots—not just Indian, but also Turkish, Asian, and Italian places if you want a change—with eating out usually running between €7 and €14 per meal. That said, as an Indian student at IU, I end up cooking at home most days to keep things affordable and healthy. Getting authentic spices, lentils, and basmati rice is super easy thanks to local Indian and Asian supermarkets nearby, so you can easily recreate home-cooked food whenever you get homesick.
Dislikes (Internships): No good internship opportunities from university. Should work very hard to find internships. Limited guidance and support available. Students mostly need to search and apply independently. The available internships are sometimes relevant to the field of study, but more industry connections and career support would be helpful.

It was ok until they switched the campus
Tips: Be flexible because the university recently had a lot of decisions that affected our study, but other than that, it's good to have a side job next to studying. There was a lot of transition that happened, like changing houses multiple times to figure out the best suitable affordable place for studying and work.
Likes (Part time work): Because I don't have to attend classes, I can work 20 hours a week. Apart from studying, working on campus is an option if you have a good German level, but there are more opportunities off campus. There will still be some time to study; the average payout depends on the job, but it goes from 13 to 15 as a minimum wage.
Dislikes (Student Life): Because there are no student activities like parties or student gatherings like there are supposed to be in other universities, most of my day is spent on self-study and work. Sometimes I don't go to classes, but when I go, I attend the class and then go back to study in the library or at home.

Title would be All rounder- I would rate my Uni 8/10.
Tips: It was actually easy for me; my brother also lives here. And of course, there is a lot of culture shock in literally everything, but nothing that a person cannot adjust to. I did not have any scholarship; I work a part-time job and pay for my tuition fee. Overall, I would choose Germany and this course every time; maybe I would go to a different university only because it's a private university and it's expensive.
Likes (Public transportation): Well, the university is in a great location. The bus connection is right outside; supermarkets are a 5-10 minute walk away for middle-class snacks. And transportation is, of course, free; you can travel anywhere with your DB ticket, which the university gives you. You have to pay for it, of course, but it's cheaper for students.
Dislikes (Student Life): Honestly, I don't go to classes as much as I should, but when I do go, it's normal. I go to classes. We have a university canteen for lunch; we hang out in the university cafe in between classes. Our university has its own bar and cafe, we have student event team so they organize all the fun events like Desi night, Indonesian night, jazz night, etc.

My positive journey in Germany
Tips: If you're planning to join IU in Berlin, you should know that the city itself makes the transition incredibly easy. Moving here as a self-funded student was a big financial step for me, but Berlin is so multicultural and international that I didn't experience any real culture shock at all. Apart from getting over the initial hurdle of the German language in day-to-day life—like dealing with local paperwork—you can easily get by with English since the student community and the city are so diverse. The practical, applied sciences setup at IU is quite solid, but the biggest win of studying here is just how well the city works around you. The public transit system is unreal—between the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and buses, you can get absolutely anywhere in the city at any hour without needing a car. For a self-funded student, having that kind of reliable, integrated transport alongside a welcoming, global atmosphere takes a massive load off your shoulders and makes the whole university experience thoroughly positive.

Very good university for an MBA.
Tips: Students should understand that they are going for a higher studies abroad, meaning they are gonna move, stay, study and probably work part-time as well. So the transition is not gonna be easy. Also, it isn't tough given the seriousness of the student to take up the opportunity for moving to pursue higher education. There is learning in every phase of an international student. There are scholarships available but since it's Germany, there will be a lot of paperwork (bureaucracy). I am very satisfied with my university, course and Germany. Also, I received a dual degree from London South Bank University. I am very glad about it.
Likes (Public transportation): Berlin is the capital of Germany. Therefore, you won't find any trouble travelling within the city. The public transportation offers various modes of transport at an affordable rate but students can travel free of cost as their travel is already included in the Semester ticket which is to be paid to the university semi-annually.
Dislikes (Internships): You have limited guidance on finding or applying for internships. Of course, you can go through mentoring and/or using the power of the internet to find and apply relevant internship opportunities in Germany. Yes, there are enough internship opportunities available but I would say that most of them would be in the German language and/or the organisation or nature of the position will demand fluent German language skills to undertake the role.

Average private university.
Tips: About the reputation of the university, its course curriculum and how much faculty support students to find jobs. They offer scholarships at the start if you are taking admission directly without any third parties. I would prefer to go to a public university instead of a private one.
Likes (Public transportation): My university offers a student ticket on which I can use all public transportation for free. There are U-bahn S-bahn and trams in the whole Berlin. You can use anything with a student ticket that which university provides you at cheap prices. Sometimes in winter you will face some issues but not for a long time.
Dislikes (Value for money): As part of a private university, the tuition I am paying isn't worth. All private universities only care about money but after that, you have to face many issues like support from faculty regarding your course problems or anything. The university has one major issue is every process is online. You have to mail just to get in touch with the faculty.

Job market is tough currently.
Tips: Research is the biggest key to know about anything abroad. Just research well on how to deal with everything when you are abroad, as it might get tough at one point. It would be brand new for an individual to adjust here with the cultural shifts. About internships, work experience works here if you have one, you might land somewhere. Tough for a fresher like me to survive. The university is not really up to the mark regarding everything, as it is facing an issue.
Likes (Safety): Berlin is safe, every city has its own downfalls in a few places, but at the end, it is safe to travel here regardless of any gender, boy or a girl, to travel during the day or at night. It’s fine to travel at night if you're thinking, some places are unsafe in Berlin, but you could always move to a new place, so not to worry.
Dislikes (Internships): The situation currently in Germany is quite tough for the job market, as students and working professionals as well are finding it hard to land any internships or jobs, as most of the universities won’t spoon feed you on the internships or work to find out.

Likes (Public transportation): My student life was non existent as teachers were never ready to teach. The campus has 0 events. It is a host town. If you want an actual college experience, go somewhere else; you have been warned. IU is poor in every standard and does not even have a real campus.

Inexpensive university with public university benefits.
Tips: There is an early bird discount, not sure whether it's still available or not. Cultural shift was of course there but with STW and other student organisation, it gets easier to settle down. For scholarships, one can apply to DAAD, which provides a lot of scholarships, even Erasmus.
Likes (Public transportation): Even though trains are cancelled or delayed most of the times, but it is very convenient to travel across Berlin, especially as a student, you get discounted tickets with which you can travel all over Germany. Discounted tickets are 29 euros but students will get them only if they belong to a public university, and the university itself provides the ticket.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently in Germany, it is very difficult to find a job. There are openings but there is a big mismatch between supply and demand. It's mostly because of the language barrier. They expect immigrants to speak native level German even for jobs where English can work perfectly. Universities abroad don't provide placements like in India, there are job fairs where you can connect with companies and people. To find a job, it's all about networking.

Good college and well-lit campus.
Tips: I strongly advise students to have a solid financial base as there are significant costs involved including semester tickets, tuition fees and health insurance. I recommend exploring education loan options to cover these expenses everything else is manageable.
Likes (Student Life): The university is located in a very good location with excellent transportation and comfortable accommodations. The spacious, well lit campus, coupled with friendly staff is a major plus. Living in Berlin itself is also a significant advantage as locals are very friendly and respectful.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's quite difficult to find authentic Indian restaurants in Berlin. Some are overpriced, while others aren't even Indian. There are also very few vegetarian options. I recommend that people cook their own meals most of the time and eat out only 1 to 2 times a week.

Perfect university and a balanced student life
Tips: It's really a nice university and a good place for students. The major drawback is that most of the people here don't speak any English, so it's quite hard to get by without German. This may also affect the job opportunities, as they require fluent German skills (even in part-time jobs). As a student, I am satisfied with the university. However, as a person who seeks a job, I may not give it a good score.
Likes (Public transportation): I really love the connectivity here. Buses & trams are always on time and are available throughout the day. I especially like the idea of rental bikes (cycles), which is a lifesaver option for students. For students, public transport expenses are covered by the semester contribution fee, and after that we have to buy tickets (which cost 3.6u20ac/Hr or less with a monthly pass).
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs are limited for bio-related core fields. However, it is quite famous for other engineering-related jobs (Computer Modulation and Simulation, Nano Electric Science, etc.). This offers a good package here. Full-time as well as part-time jobs are also limited, as most of them require fluent German language skill English speaking jobs are rarely available.

From the city of Dresden!
Tips: The prospective candidates should be aware that TU Dresden runs on a high level of academic independence. There will be no spoon-feeding, and you have to organize all your coursework, sign up for your examinations, and decide upon your research topics independently, as a majority of programs for master's degrees in engineering and sciences are conducted in English. It is extremely important to learn the German language as it will be necessary for your everyday life, for getting things sorted out with the city administration, and for gaining industrial internships outside the university campus. Also, the academic advantage of using the Dresden concept network with leading research centers like Fraunhofer, Max Planck, and Leibniz next door cannot be overstated.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing a position depends almost entirely on individual initiative rather than university-led placement. While the central career service and campus career fairs provide useful self-service job portals and resume workshops, personalized guidance for finding and applying to roles is quite passive.

TU Dresden - Computational Modelling and Simulation
Tips: The indian community of Dresden is strong and will help new students move in. I applied for the SECAI and Deutschland Stipendum scholarship but did not get either of them. The university is big, the course is specific and has mandatory modules, which makes it difficult, and the country is nice for the salary, but the people are not friendly.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connections all across the city. One can take buses, trams, and trains. The semester contribution includes 6 months of tickets for all regional transport across Germany. Most buses run at a frequency of 2 times per hour, which is not a lot, but manageable.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Limited faculty, and Teaching style is very personal to them and not tailored to the subject taught. Mandatory courses make the course difficult to pass. Mostly, all teachers are from Germany, with very few exceptions. All pros. Use slides to teach and give material to prepare.

Excellent Research Opportunities and High-Quality Education at CRTD, TUDresden
Tips: Weather is something that was very new to me. It didn't snow so heavily in Dresden in the winter during my first year, Sep 2025 to Sep 2026. It was definitely manageable! Deutschlandstipendium is one of the very few scholarships available for Indians without any German proficiency Certificate (I might have missed some, still, do check on your own for other available scholarships). In addition to this, there are a couple of other scholarships that I heard people have received (DAAD-STIBET; PROMOS; GFF) towards the completion of a Master's degree. Usually, people manage their living expenses by doing a skilled/un-skilled part time jobs. Highly satisfied! The description mentioned on the programme website reflected the actual truth. The lectures were great! It's the first time I experienced this - for a single module, more than 20 professors delivered lectures. For example, SCD modules had 23 different lectures, and it was delivered by 23 professors. It was great to learn the concept from people who are experts and carrying out research in that same domain. Everyone was friendly to approach after lectures for a quick-talk/networking/quick-chat for an internship or lab rotation opportunities. I think knowing and speaking German might give a whole new experience. With English, one can live at a pace within campus as everyone would speak English, but outside campus, it's all German.
Likes (Internships): As part of Programme 2, mandatory lab rotations are required. BIO-POLIS Dresden has a lot of research labs, so getting a lab shouldn't be a problem. However, getting into the lab of choice is a little tricky and is possible by reaching out early/meeting the PIs in talks on campus. Uniklinikum is close to CRTD and has a lot of labs too. Getting an unpaid research position is relatively easier than getting an SHK/WHK - just email group leaders 3 to 3.5 months before the start date (2 months should also do, but getting the desired lab might get tricky then).
Dislikes (Part time work): SHK/WHK positions are available for students on campus, where students can assist research groups by carrying out assigned tasks. This falls under skilled labour and will be an add-on to your CV, but the competition is crazy. The intake to this programme has increased to around 60 students per year from around 20 students per year previously. Being ahead of time and submitting multiple applications will help you get a SHK/WHK. At times, working in a lab without getting paid for about 3 months, proving ourselves, can open up SHK/WHK offers (if there is funding in the lab).

Great value and strong academics in TU Dresden
Tips: The courses at my university are challenging and require time and effort. Also, the course duration for a master's is generally 2 years. But approx. 90-95% of students will take 1-2 semesters mores. This is very normal in Germany. Apart from this, the city is amazing.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity is amazing, especially for commuting to the university. Trams and buses run frequently and cover the entire city well. Public transportation is also available at night, which is a huge plus. The Deutschland ticket makes it very affordable for students which is covered in your semester fees.
Dislikes (Internships): Relevant internships exist in Dresden's strong research and industry ecosystem, especially at in the semiconductor sectors and multiple research institute. However. most listings require German proficiency, which limits options for international students still learning the language. Finding the right opportunity is largely dependent on the student's own effort.

Tips: Cultural rich campus, you'll get used to students studying in the library by the day and having beers and barbeques along the elbe by the night, fun life. Many scholarship opportunities, fill out applications, write your LOM and submit. Study hard and enjoy harder.
Likes (Value for money): TU Dresden has an amazing name and faculty here is quite knowledgeable. There is no tuition fee, we pay for a semester deutschland ticket and for student welfare association. It quite affordable to study here. Even living cost is less than other cities.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are multiple job fair throughout but you need to know the language (Deutsch) for better job opportunities. I have recently started a working student but try to set up your timetable such as you can juggle both. Students usually get around u20ac16-20/hour.

TU Dresden - a perfect place for semiconductor studies!
Tips: I'm fully satisfied with TU Dresden's nanoelectronics course programme. Dresden is also known as Silicon Valley, which hosts a lot of semiconductor companies, providing opportunities for students studying nanoelectronics specifically. With ESMC-TSMC coming up in Dresden, it is the best place for semiconductor enthusiasts. TU Dresden also provides the Deutschlandstipendium and the SECAI scholarship to support students financially. Apart from that, students can find student assistant jobs in research labs to gain experience and receive financial support.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are easily approachable after the lecture session, and they are kind and friendly. They teach you the basic foundation and answer "Why?" Questions, instead of simply starting with " it's what it is. Faculty members are mostly from different European countries, but there are a few people from other countries as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a couple of Indian restaurants in the city; however, they are pretty costly. We have mensas where one can eat meals costing 2 to 4 euros for each person for students, and sometimes Indian food is served as well. However, in most cases, I prefer cooking on my own.

TU Dresden: Affordable world class education in “Florence on the Elbe”
Tips: Dresden offers very cheap accommodation and is more affordable than most West German cities. However, the work opportunities are limited compared to big cities like Berlin, Munich, etc. There is a decent-sized Indian community here, but it’s not as big as in most big Western metropolises. I did not avail any scholarships. I am very satisfied with the university coursework and the system, as it’s very structured, and Germany as a whole offers you the standard European experience that many people dream of. Plus, Dresden is one of the prettiest cities in Germany, and TUD is one of the top universities in Germany and part of the Excellence Initiative.
Likes (Value for money): I have no tuition fees and only a semester contribution of 361 euros per semester that covers my transportation costs and other utility fees for the university. The Deutschlandticket included in these fees covers all public transit options across the country. You can essentially travel anywhere without a worry for buying a ticket at all times.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are rare, and Mensa cafeterias mostly serve German cuisine, with restaurants mostly being Middle Eastern and East Asian in origin. I prefer cooking myself as it’s cheaper and more flexible with what I can eat. All kinds of Indian cooking ingredients are also readily available at low prices.

Tips: The Technical University of Dresden is a reputed college and falls under Germany’s TU9. The important thing to know is that all subjects are mostly theoretical and research-oriented. I personally like the curriculum, but the exams are quite different from how it was in India.
Likes (Safety): The TU Dresden campus is pretty safe. It’s a student-friendly city due to multiple students from multiple countries. There are also student organizations related to women's safety. I personally have never heard of anyone facing any safety issues in my city.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Dresden is a city for semi conductor industry, so finding a job in other fields is a little difficult. Many students find jobs, many don't. It completely depends on your skills and your language level. So I've given an average rating for post-study jobs.

I like this college......
Tips: TU Dresden is a top-tier college. Before coming here, the only thing you need is to know the language at least at a conversational level. The language is not required in the college, but it is absolutely necessary to live in any place in Saxony to get a part-time job. Apart from that, the studies can be a bit stressful depending on what course you're getting into. So please research about the course and the modules they offer.
Likes (Indian Food): You'll get a couple of Indian store options where you can get fish, mutton, chicken, and everything that an Indian needs. Also, the Indian restaurant options are pretty wide, and there are few really good Indian restaurants in particular. Apart from that, there's a gurudwara in Dresden; it also has its own Indian store.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few student assistant positions in my department, and getting a part-time job is very challenging because of the language barrier. In Dresden, speaking German is mandatory. Apart from that, everything is pretty cool, but the engineering courses might offer a wide range of work-student positions.

Having studied for a couple of years in Dresden, I feel it's a good place to explore academically
Tips: Before coming to TU Dresden, you need to know that as one of Germany's top engineering universities, the academic standard here is no joke. TUD is a massive public research university, which means you get incredible access to high-end labs, research hubs around Dresden (like Fraunhofer and Max Planck institutes), and strong industry connections across Saxony's tech sector. But that reputation comes with a heavy workload—professors expect high independence, and nobody is going to hold your hand through the semester. On the life side, Dresden is one of the most affordable major student cities in Germany compared to places like Munich or Frankfurt, especially when it comes to rent in areas like Neustadt or Südvorstadt. The international student community is huge, but you still need basic German to handle day-to-day things like administrative paperwork or finding a student job. If you show up prepared to self-study, handle a tough exam schedule, and take initiative yourself, the career doors TUD opens are huge.

If you are looking for an easy full time entry level job market thats not here!!
Tips: I haven't transitioned much culturally. Not much cultural shift; I did not avail myself of any scholarship. Academically, the institute has taught a lot more about academia. I am satisfied with the university and course, be they their projects or topics. They are more inclined towards research, and professors are not friendly towards an industry thesis.
Likes (Public transportation): The tram and bus are all well connected to the university near the main station, so the S-Bahn connects even to the suburbs so quickly. Students get the Deutschland ticket, so it's basically included in your semester contribution, which is also being increased semester by semester but is still affordable.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Getting a visa after a job is very easy, but is getting a full-time job easy? There are very few entry-level openings in my field; they are only hiring people with 5 years of experience. They already have enough junior engineers they don't want any more. More than 40% of students who graduated from my master's study either end up going back to their countries or do a Ph.D., which they didn't plan.

A life changing opportunity
Tips: The university is really good; you can meet and get knowledge from some great professors from all over the world. But in terms of studies, students really need to work hard, and sometimes that can be challenging along with all other responsibilities, so please prepare yourself before. Do not rush for any odd jobs if they are not really urgent; instead, try to get a work-study in your field of study because most of the students make this mistake and end up wasting their time.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I really rate the faculty highly because they’re incredibly approachable whenever you get stuck or need help with a complex topic. The lecture style took me some time to get used to—it’s quite rigorous right from the start—but it clicks after a few weeks and makes a lot of sense. Another massive benefit is the sheer diversity of the staff; you’re being taught by professors who bring in global research experience from entirely different parts of the world.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are mostly available for courses that consist of mandatory internships but are hard to get if they're voluntary. Sometimes you might end up getting internships, but they last for only 3 months, and it's very difficult to get them, as the competition is too high.

Dresden is a hub for the semiconductor industry.
Tips: It is a great opportunity to connect with international students and the research oriented faculty. There are many opportunities to grow at the university in whichever direction you want to go. The curriculum is revised every year to include new courses that are beneficial for students in the long term. Students without prior industrial experience can also gain experience through working student roles at the university and research institutes. Students who secure a good GPA of 9 and above (Indian grading system) can apply for scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university and the opportunities it provided me to learn, explore and grow. The course is quite good and you have access to industrial tools to get good exposure during the masters programme. This helps you in getting internships and other rules while studying. Germany is quite welcoming and I am happy to be here.
Likes (Post study jobs): The university is located in Saxony state in Germany. There are a lot of opportunities in the semiconductor domain as there are multiple startups, university spinoffs and MNCs. Dresden is a hub for the semiconductor industry as it plays a pivotal role being part of Silicon Saxony. Analogue and digital design, verification, research and semiconductor technology related jobs are available once you complete the masters programme in Nanoelectronic systems. Salary packages vary from company to company, roughly between 50,000 - 75,000 per annum. Salary is negotiable based on your skill set and experience in the domain in which you will be working.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking food myself as there are less options in finding Indian cuisine. It is quite expensive to have food from restaurants while you are in student. There are restaurants providing Italian, Mexican, Greek, Indian, Asian and other European cuisines. Rates vary from restaurant to restaurant, depending on the dish you order. A dish can cost you anywhere between 5-30 roughly.

Tips: There are multiple scholarships and programs available for building a network which helps a lot to find part time job and even full time job. Networking plays a major role. The course is easy if you regularly study and do not study just during exams, like an Indian college's approach.
Likes (Value for money): It's a public university, therefore there is no tuition fee and the fee we pay during the semester is for a semester ticket, which is used for public transport all over Germany. You dont have to pay any exam fee or utilities fees so basically the education you acquire is completely free of charge.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are very few and among them, only 1 or 2 are worth the money therefore I prefer to try different cuisines outside such as Italian, Mexican, etc or else prefer to cook all by myself an Indian food, which makes it worth the taste.

Multi-dimensional, good networking opportunity and great research opportunity.
Tips: For the ones who have lived all their life in India, cultural shift will definitely be there. But it is also based on how much open one is to the experience and well as flexible to trying new things and adjusting to it, while also remaining their core values. The first semester goes on very quickly, so people need to stick to their routine and not get carried away by the external things too much. Enjoyment is good, but if the goal is for a good education and a job afterwards, then it needs to be focused. There are several scholarships like DAAD, Erasmus Mundus. They usually pay for everything, although it is competitive. There are some partial scholarship as well which can be availed once someone gets enrolled to support their traineeship/internship, semester abroad, supporting master's thesis, buying laptops etc. The course is very multi dimensional so if you need to get specified knowledge in one field, you need to pick your electives wisely and opt for a semester abroad, if possible.
Likes (Public transportation): The entire city is well connected with public transport. Plus now, the deutschland ticket provides access to all local and regional trains (except high-speed ones), buses, tram, ferries, ropeways etc. throughout Germany. As a student, the amount is within the semester contribution, so one does not have to pay anything extra, after that it's about 60 euros/month.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated 4 because part time jobs are available, but most of them require at least basic German language skills, specially the ones involving customer interaction. A part time job of 10 -20 hours/week is quite manageable, if one plans their schedule well and follows a structured timetable. There are several options of finding part-time work: TU Dresden job portals like STAV, and external job agencies like Nexgenjobs, eBay Klienenzeigen etc.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The market is a little tough to crack at this moment. The job postings do have a lot of jobs, but they are primarily jobs in the electronics industry. For some roles, you might be able to negotiate an internship that could eventually be a full-time job, or you might be able to find a student job and later negotiate a full-time position with that company. Additionally, if you can manage to learn some German, it would give you a leg up on the competition.
