Master of Business Administration - Batch of 2025
2.8
The campus is by far better than other colleges like Kaplan and Murdoch
Tips: Look, the whole experience was pretty mediocre. Sure, the degree has some value since it's technically from a public uni in Australia. But if you are from a normal middle-class family honestly, just skip it. The reality on the ground in Singapore is rough—you are not even legally allowed to work a part-time job on a student visa. On top of that, trying to land a full-time role after graduating as an Indian national is next to impossible. Companies have strict local hiring quotas, and those slots are always completely maxed out.
The only reason to choose this place is if you just want a decent brand name on your CV and money doesn't matter at all, because honestly, almost everyone on campus is loaded. The only real upside is if you're terrified of visa rejections. This place is a total loophole for that and the approval rate is basically a guaranteed 100%.
Likes (Public transportation): One of the best public transport systems in the world. Most of the apartments have a bus stop right below the houses. The city is well connected with bus routes and metro lines. The public transport will cost you at max 5 SGD for a return journey. Where you are, taking a cab will cost you a minimum of 10 SGD for a single ride.
Dislikes (Part time work): Only students from public universities are allowed to work part-time. Private university students have no work rights. Some Indian representative might tell that their university is about to sign MOU (international students can work) with the government, which is a lie.

Singapore has a lot of security within the country to ensure public safety.
Tips: If you want to enjoy college life without much stress, this college is preferable. However, if you want to focus on academics, you must look for NUS and NTU to secure jobs within the country. Union has a lot of extracurricular activities which are governed by students.
Likes (Safety): Singapore has a lot of security within the country to ensure public safety. So far, I have not had any bad experiences from staying there. Also the likelihood of theft is very low and near zero. Public transportation is available throughout the country and is reliable and on time.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Singapore has tightened opportunities for foreigners by limiting the S and E pass for immigrants. Unless you are from a local university the chances of securing a job is minimum. Also, as this is a private union, you don't have part-time opportunity.

Safe country and helpful people.
Tips: You do not have to be worried about making friends and adjusting in classes, even if you are an introvert, the people around you and the lecturers are very nice and reach out to you first to help you adapt easily. You also improve and learn a lot of new skills from hands on experience and through the different clubs available here.
Likes (Safety): Singapore is one of the safest countries to stay in. As a girl, I feel safe going for a walk at 2 am and face no issues. There are always police on patrol and they are very active and as the rules are strict, it is a very safe place to stay in. You can leave your phones, laptops, and bags around and no one will steal it, if you come back later it will be exactly where you left them.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is very hard to get a PR or citizenship in Singapore but it is possible to stay there for a long time with a long term visa or a work visa. You will not get the benefits of a pr or a citizen through these visas. Also if you enter as a student you are not allowed to work in Singapore as it is illegal so you can stay as long as your student pass is available only.

It’s a safe place for students to study and work.
Tips: Students must know the current ongoing scenario concerning job offers and the country being flexible towards students working part-time. The toastmasters programme would help students connect with faculty members.
Likes (Safety): Considering Singapore’s strong rule and safety. The country makes it a safe place for students to study and work as well. A strong department in the country that checks even the students' passports on the go makes it completely safe and avoids illegal entry. Strong economic policies.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent migration is quite a challenge unless there is strong support and a reference in the study country due to opposing government policies in migrants working in their country. The country was quite tough on migrants setting up during 2012. The salary structure is quite low compared to other countries.

JCU is a university that rewards you for what you put into it.
Tips: You can get a lot of scholarships/bond to lower the cost of tuition fees at JCU. I think I'm pretty adaptable, so transitioning to living in Singapore was not a problem at all, and while there have been highs and low lows, all in all, I'm quite happy with my university life. The faculty is very diverse and quite friendly. The course material taught is a great balance between practical and theoretical knowledge.

Try it and give it a shot. May feel scary and difficult but it's a one in a lifetime opportunity.
Tips: Yes, cultural shock and, of course, the German language (Deutsch). You can learn it over here as well, and it's smooth. Yes, I am with DAAD Scholar, and I got it via recommendations, and it is about 1000€. Very satisfied with my university and the course and the region as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Restaurants are varied, from Asian, Western, and Middle Eastern foods to, of course, European food. I prefer cooking, as you can save lots of money, and you can eat outside, but it's not sustainable. Make friends and cook; plus, you can also try other food from different regions/countries when you cook together.

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.

Master's in Nanoelectronic Systems - Batch of 2026
Offered by Dresden University of Technology
4.5
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.

Amazing university for Nanoelectronics students.
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.

One of the top 9 technical universities in Germany.
Tips: The city is good for international students and has Indian communities too for support. There are many incoming international students; thus, it's a friendly and student-loving city. The cost of living is average and manageable for students with the salary they get.
Likes (Value for money): There is no tuition fee at TU Dresden, as it is a public university. Also, it is one of the top 9 technical universities in Germany, making it the best university for international students. There are many English courses available, with great support from the university.
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.

There's an Indian association to help you with your accommodation and university boarding.
Tips: The transition was smooth. People here are independent, punctual, reserved, polite, friendly and welcoming. There are cultural differences, and it took time to adapt. I didn't get a scholarship because my university is free.
Likes (Safety): Germany is, in itself, a safe country. There are emergency helpline numbers for various concerns, such as well-lit street lights and an emergency department at the university. If we have any safety, mental, or health concerns, we can easily go to them. Police patrol the street, and I haven't encountered any accidents yet. Most of the people I've met here are kind and helpful to outsiders. In every city, there's an Indian association, just like in Dresden when I first arrived. I was a new student, and a study buddy was assigned to me. He literally helped me with everything, from accommodation to my university boarding.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are various types of restaurants around, including Indian, Turkish, Italian, and various fast-food options. The price range is from 5 to 15 euros per meal, depending on the type of restaurant. I prefer cooking for myself because it is more affordable and healthier than eating out.

Stressful and highly demanding coursework.
Tips: If you really feel you can opt for research-oriented programs, please go for it. This program demands high prerequisite knowledge. I did apply for a scholarship, and for that, you need a couple of prerequisites. Do not come in the mindset that you can finish your master’s in 2 years. It’s a myth. The trams and bus connections are very well connected and organised. From my dorm, I need to go 45 minutes to my university. The tram connections are usually great. You get buses and trams immediately, and the wait time is comparatively low. This is especially true on weekdays, but weekend service is much less reliable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking by myself as I am able to cut down a lot of living expenses through that. The restaurants around my locality start from 10 euros minimum per meal, which is basically my half-week or a week's worth of grocery money. Try to save up as much money as possible, but don't be frugal in food.

Student life is great at Technical University of Dresden.
Tips: It is really easy to come and live in Germany as a student. The city of Dresden is filled with students of various cultural backgrounds. As a student, you will always have someone to ask for help. TUD is brilliant and there is a lot of room for students to explore before choosing their desired course of study.
