Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2019

Singapore is a brilliant place to study.
Tips: The course was relatively new when I joined as I was a part of the 2nd or 3 batch. I actually finished the course in 2013 and am now running my own law firm along with two others. Singapore is a brilliant place to study and live. The best part about the university is the diversity. I had friends from both sides of the pond. Europe, the Americas and other Asian countries. I would advise any student wanting to study outside to definitely consider Singapore as an option.

Perfect place for focused individuals.
Tips: Very easy and convenient mode of transport. There are buses or metro connections to every part of the city and you can track your journey on Google Maps itself which is very accurate. The cost of public transport is very cheap and the buses and metro journeys is calculated as a sum of the journey and not charged per ride. Getting a job is totally dependent on how well you network. For Indians, it's easy to shift as you can find a lot of Indians living and working here. Very much satisfied with NUS and the alumni connect and opportunities you get as a part of the programme.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The Singapore law isn't easier for a foreign individual to get PR. You can get an employment visa from the employers which allows you to work in Singapore as per the contract. If completed Ph.D. then the chances for you to get PR would be increased as your contribution to the country's research will matter a lot.

The NUS MBA - Batch of 2023

NUS MBA is good if you are open to exploring job opportunities outside of Singapore.
Tips: Come with a clearly defined goal of what you want from the program and dont expect to learn what you want from the program. Network with people a lot to help break into opportunities and dont rely on the college to find you a job. Push yourself to go out and learn new things, participate in case competitions, go on study trips (GIP) and make friends from different cultures.
Likes (Student Life): The college campus provides great infrastructure and offers a good college life right from sports all the way to libraries. There are more than 13 tennis courts, numerous basketball courts, gymnasiums and much more. The library is huge and it offers diverse choices. On top of this there are different options to choose from in terms of residence and you can interact with a diverse cohort.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Tough job market since the government launched COMPAS to award work permits. Due to this, recruiters find it difficult to hire expats. If you have a generic skill it is difficult to get hired. There is a premium on technical skillsets.

Great university and good opportunities.
Tips: There will be some cultural differences when students come to Singapore for the first time. I got the SINGA scholarship by A*STAR for my course which covers my tuition fee and gives me a monthly stipend of 2700SGD per month for two years and which increases to 3300SGD per month for another two years.
Likes (Public transportation): All the places are well connected with metro and buses. The most common are the metro and buses. You can use the same card in both and you can also use your bank cards. The public transportation is affordable as compared to cabs and owning a personal vehicle.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is difficult to get a PR as it is very competitive and quota based. You can settle here with long term pass as well. If given a chance I would love to permanently immigrate here because of various reasons such as safety, security, clean environment.

Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2025

A rigorous and international experience at NUS.
Tips: Students should be aware that this programme is academically rigorous and fast-paced, with reading that needs to be completed before each class. Students need to be proactive about networking and internship opportunities, as these are independent of the coursework. The transition was generally smooth. Classes are interactive and students are expected to participate as part of their grades and contribute from their own previous experiences. Personally, I did not avail myself of any scholarships. However the university offers certain merit-based scholarships as seen on their website, but these are competitive and limited in number and dependent on academic performance. I am satisfied with the university and the course due to the strength of the faculty and international exposure, safety, infrastructure and quality of life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty consists of leading academicians and senior practitioners who are recognised authorities in their respective fields. Faculty members are approachable. Professors are open to discussions beyond class hours respond to emails and actively engage during lectures. The teaching methodology focuses on both theory and practice.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration in Singapore is connected to securing long-term employment. As an international student pursuing an LL.M. at NUS the course itself does not guarantee job placement. The university does not provide a placement process. Given a competitive and saturated job market transitioning from a student visa to a work visa can be uncertain. Having said that, if table employment opportunities are available I would be interested in permanently immigrating to Singapore.

Great place to study with a lot of opportunities.
Tips: It is a fantastic place to study. Just don't expect to find a job easily. Also, you surely need to follow the rules, otherwise you will be in trouble. If you like to study as well as have fun, Singapore, NUS and NTU are most certainly the right places for you.
Likes (Part time work): A lot of opportunities. Can work for about 20 hours a week. Classes are late in the day for post graduation, hence it was easy to manage. I worked on campus as well as outside. The opportunities to be a teaching assistant or tutor were ample. Additional campus and tutoring jobs were common.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Most of the students who studied with me have moved to other countries or have returned home as it has not been very favourable for non-Singapore citizens and permanent residents. However, it is a fantastic city and country. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

A year of growth, grit and global learning; between books, botanical gardens and dreams.
Tips: Half of my batchmates were from China. They are quite smart and a close community. It will take time to get up with them but they are sweet, kind and simple. The country itself is quite silent except for tourist places. The day begins at 6 am & ends at 7 pm for them. However, for law students the classes go from 9 am to 9:30 pm depending on the subjects one opts for. The professors are quite down to earth and will guide you whenever you are stuck. There are numerous networking events in NUS and at various law firms. It is quite interesting to meet fellow lawyers and partners of the firm, especially the alumni. It was a wonderful experience living on your own and managing in a new country.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good. One gets flexibility to choose the subjects, interact directly with the professors, spend time in the study room and library, and explore the greenery around the campus. Fortunately, we got the botanical garden campus which was well connected to the main campus. We got to learn in a calm atmosphere with pleasant weather and explore the main campus which had a lot of events, museums, etc. to explore.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Considering the huge legal market and amount of competition, it is quite challenging to secure a full time position in Singapore. Strong networking and convincing skills along with a good resume may help to secure a full time position. After LL.M. one is required to give the FPE exam to practice in Singapore courts. If one wants to work in Singapore without giving the FPE exam, it is better to pursue a JD programme instead of an LL.M.

Quality education without emptying your pockets.
Tips: Be prepared for high quality education with quality students from the rest of Asian. The environment is highly competitive but also conducive to learning. NUS changed my life completely and gave me my best years of learning, growth and friendships.
Likes (Indian Food): There is a food court culture in NUS where every faculty and residence has its own food courts with multiple options including that of Indian food. While pantries are there with each residence, there is hardly a need to cook your own food because food is available cheaply and easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Multiple companies across sectors sponsor visas however it is becoming increasingly difficult. Salaries can range from as low as 40,000 annually to 1,20,000, depending on the sector and quality. There is no on-campus placement system here. Jobs are through career fair and offline applications so applicants need to self prepare and self-apply.

It is very difficult to get a work permit here as an international student.
Tips: Be mindful of the fact that getting a job in SG and settling down in SG is not a certainty post the course and the job market in SG is mostly closed to international students but getting an internship is relatively easier in SG while you are enrolled in a full time course
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to recent changes in immigration policy, it is difficult even to get a work permit as a foreigner, let alone a PR. Firms in SG have a quota on how much of foreigners they can employ in their respective companies, and the quota for Indians is largely exhausted.

Adapting, learning and growing.
Tips: Life changes a lot when moving to Singapore. A degree here at NUS teaches both research and life skills. The school of medicine offers free mentorship and the university offers free therapy sessions which help manage stress. Be ready for cultural diversity and balancing your own roots with a new environment. The first year was challenging, adjusting to Singapore's diverse culture while staying connected to home away. Over time, I adapted and gained a broader perspective on people, life and friendships. I'm on a NUS research scholarship, which covers full tuition and gives a monthly stipend of SGD 2700 before PQE and SGD 3500 after. I first emailed my professor, later applied via the NUS website, submitted a proposal, went through an interview and cleared the GRE. I'm very blessed with NUS, my course and my supportive supervisors, while Singapore offers a satisfactory worklife balance and inclusivity.
Likes (Value for money): My course is fully funded by the NUS Research Scholarship, which covers tuition and provides a stipend. I became a president assistant in campus housing, so I have my accommodation secured too. Apart from the initial fight ticket, I haven't had major expenses, which makes studying here very cost effective. I feel the value for money is excellent.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I come from Kerala, India and I could find authentic Kerala food, pretty far from NUS. Within my university, there is a mix of casual eateries, cafes and fast food chain. I generally prefer to eat outside as my course keeps me busy and not all housing allows full cooking facilities. For those very particular about food, learning quick cooking hacks can be helpful when living abroad.

Strong academics and highly professional faculty.
Tips: Try to apply for residential colleges. They make the experience better. If not, try being a part of more multicultural clubs as those help you make yourself comfortable in the university. Additionally, do not stress over studies so much. It is all gonna be okay.
Likes (Safety): The country is one of the safest in the world. They don't have late public transport which is a bit annoying but at the same time it you split cabs and stuff it is not that bad. You can walk anywhere at night. People are not judgemental of what you do around you. However, please follow the rules.
Dislikes (Student Life): Nothing to do. Everyone just studies. The university has some annoyingly strict rules and a lot of clubs and extracurriculars feel like you are there for some extrinsic reason and have to be so schedule heavy that you decide not to be a part. I would recommend doing something similar in Year 1.

Academically oriented college for driven students with good campus life.
Tips: It was a fairly easy transition. I would say personally, a year to fully adjust to everything from academics to personal chores and time management. The culture is fairly Asian. Quite similar to India. However, in terms of academics, the requirements and basic expectations of investing time would be far superior to a bachelor's degree in India. I did not, however, tuition grant is available under MOE and is the most common grant availed by students. I am quite satisfied with my university experience, as well as the course. In terms of the country, Singapore is a great place to be for someone with prior working experience. However, it is quite difficult for non-president/PR to get a job here.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is great as the campus diaspora is very diverse. It is possible to meet people and make friends with individuals who come from all over the globe. There are several student societies - Sports, Cultural and even Volunteering. There is also a society dedicated to animal welfare known as NUS Pace. NUS CAT Cafe is also under this. They help with feeding and looking after stay cats - rehoming, vet visits and getting them adjusted to living on campus. Additionally, there are sports and gym facilities on campus that I often enjoy using. This is a great way to interact and meet people from different age groups. The NUS campus life is complete without student hostels. Each hostel/hostel cluster has a different vibe and it's safe to say that there is a place for everyone. The town is vibrant with a budding community life, whereas PGPR is on the quieter end. For cultural immersion and a true Singaporean experience, I would recommend RCs. Halls are avoidable.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Poor prospects for international students getting a full-time job in Singapore as a fresh graduate, particularly for Indians because companies reserve foreign worker quotas for experienced professionals & executives. In the financial services sector, it is difficult to meet the minimum salary requirements as prescribed by MoM due to the existence of fewer well-paying fresh graduate opportunities. Most of the companies would prefer hiring Singaporeans and avoid sponsoring work visas. The university only shares postings of new jobs, it does not really help with securing a job. It is all based on luck as well as individual outreach efforts made by candidates. Even referrals, nowadays, are not very helpful. Conversion from internships is only guaranteed in some cases.

NUS is more expensive than most Indian private colleges.
Tips: Students should know that NUS is an academically rigorous and challenging university. The workload will be higher than what they are used to in school. Everyone is highly independent and takes care of everything in their lives themselves. The MOE tuition grant is also worth noting and applying for to be eligible for scholarships.
Likes (Post study jobs): NUS is known to have really good placements and has a really strong reputation, especially in Asia. Students generally go for corporate jobs and software engineering/finance roles are highly sought after and common. Campus placements are not of the same nature as they are in India.
Dislikes (Value for money): NUS is more expensive than most Indian private colleges by a large margin for a similar Bachelor of Engineering degree. The cost of living in Singapore is also on the higher end of the spectrum. Be prepared to budget your daily expenses and plan savings for the next semester.

Great value for money university and wonderful country.
Tips: Easy to transition as the number of Indians is a lot and some good orientation events based on your campus housing. I am on the MOE Tuition Grant. Can pick whether you want to be considered for it while applying and based on your profile, you might get selected. They subsidise a certain % of your tuition fees but in return, you must work in the country for 3 years after graduation. I am very satisfied with my choice of university and country as well.
Likes (Public transportation): Great metro and public bus system which is very efficient, clean and safe as well. Timings are usually from 6 am to 12 am and have good frequency. It has great connectivity and you rarely need to take a cab unless you prefer to or it is cheaper when with a group.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Companies need to sponsor your work visa and the government pushes hiring locals more. There is a compass framework where the candidate and company need to be eligible for the work visa, you cannot self-apply. Hence, it is harder for international students to get a full time job but it isn't impossible.

NUS provides the best student life.
Tips: You will feel cultural shock if it is your first time studying abroad, but NUS tries to prepare you for it through various modules before the start of your course. Singapore, as a country, is really good, safe, and a developed nation. It's the best university in Asia for STEM and Business programs.
Likes (Student Life): NUS provides the best quality student life to its members. There are various clubs you can join, and cultural activities are organised throughout the year. For freshers, orientation activities are there. Faculty plans various outgoing trips to famous and entertaining locations, etc.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): After graduation, you get a 1 year study visa, so there is no particular need for companies to sponsor your visa. But if you fail to secure a job offer, then I am not sure about visa sponsorship. You will get an option to do an internship as part of your course structure. You should choose that instead of the Capstone project if you wish to do a job after graduation. If you want to do Ph.D. later, then you should proceed with the project itself.

Tips: Know the logic, the structure of teaching in India and outside is different, so have your concepts cleared. It's necessary to network so start sending LinkedIn requests. Research about companies. Know what you want. Be careful in what you want, don't get carried away.

For sports, you should be really good to be on university teams. It is academically challenging as well. Many vegetarian food options are available for all vegetarians.

Fun and engaging student life.
Tips: Before joining NUS, students should know that it is fast-paced, opportunity-dense and demands a high level of independence. From day one, academics, orientation, clubs, admin work, and social life all hit together, so learning to prioritise early is essential.
Likes (Safety): You can literally do anything legal at any time. It's the safest city in the world, especially for women. Anyone can walk at 3 AM or cycle. The surveillance is a lot here. I have not had any bad experience with the country as of now. The good experience is definitely the union of multiple cultures here.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore is a small country. It is hard to settle here due to its history. For citizenship, you need to do National Service. This means you need to serve in the army for 2 years at least. The same is the case for permanent resident status. I would probably come back to India or go to Europe after serving my tuition bond there.

Life in Singapore as a Masters student in NUS.
Tips: The culture is very friendly. As for me, I came from India, and I've lived in the US for many years so I did not face any difficulty adjusting here. No cultural shift unless you are not from an Asian background. I did not avail any scholarships, as the options were limited for US citizens.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very affordable and available everywhere. It is easy to access. The campus is on the outskirts of the city, but there are a lot of ways to get there. It can take a well-connected MRT (subway), and many buses go there. Hailing a cab is also an option.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Student visa does not extend further than 1 year post-study. Up to us to find a job. The chances I would have of permanent settlement are probably 60%, considering I find a job that pays enough to live comfortably. Job opportunities for foreigners are slightly less. If I had the chance, I would 100% permanently immigrate to this country.

A great way to build your future.
Tips: I didn't have much of a cultural shift because I was brought up here before but I think the other students, the English slang that Singapore uses, might be slightly overwhelming. Scholarship wasn't available for my intake, but for the upcoming intake, I heard that there are some scholarships.
Likes (Quality of faculty): NUS faculty are very experienced and well-known in the research field. They have amazing knowledge and the way they bring it forward to the students is inspiring. They are very approachable and they introduce us to many conferences and competitions to build our own interests and discover ourselves.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study jobs are pretty difficult to find, being an international student as the salary is pretty high for a sponsored visa, which is way above the fresher salary in general in Singapore. There are 3 different types of passes, the unskilled worker pass is the least, followed by the skilled worker pass, and then the professional employment pass. Usually, Master's students are allowed only for the EP.

3.9
Challenging yet enjoyable.
Tips: Be prepared for classes to be in the evening. Keep in mind, you are allowed to take 2 electives in the whole year. So what I did was take one elective in the first sem and another in the second sem. You can choose a course from ISD, Project Management or M.Arch as your electives, but when you register for your courses, make sure the electives you choose don't clash in timing and day with your BPS courses. Some of my classmates did that and ended up having to switch electives 2 weeks into the semester. No big cultural shift except that people adhere to and expect adherence to rules. So if the escalator says "Stand on left, walk on right", then please respect that and either stand on the left side or walk on the right. Similarly, all other rules should also be followed, like no eating in the metro and only flag down public buses when you want to board them, etc. For Masters, there are little to no scholarships available in NUS. Of course, it does differ department to department, but in Architecture & Engineering, it's almost non existent for foreigners. Singapore can be expensive but as students, you end up figuring out where the good deals are and how to have fun even on a budget. I'd advise checking the NUS part time jobs page when you join, it has many openings for part time jobs where you can earn some money on the side. I did part-time shifts at the Central Library in NUS, could easily earn 10 to 12 SGD an hour. If you find part-time jobs off campus, then that's also handy, just try to keep it on a schedule you can manage with your classes and assignments.
Likes (Safety): Singapore in itself is a very safe city. I was out on a walk at 4 am and didn't have to think twice about using earphones and walking. As a woman, it is a very safe city. The police take patrols at night, not like a military facility type of way, just normally. And people in general have a basic civic sense of respecting private space.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Singapore has Singaporean Indians, which makes the food a mix of South Indian and Singaporean food. Some food is similar and easy to eat, like sambar and dosa, and some I wasn't able to eat due to the difference in taste, like a few types of daal. Vegetarian people have even less options in indian food because if you're nitpicky, you'll end up going back to basic food like price and sambar. I would suggest trying Mala hotpot, you get to pick out the quantity and type of ingredients you want, so vegetarians can just pick out veggies, and you get to have that cooked in a sauce of your spicy level choosing with either noodles or price. Lots of people enjoyed that. Keep in mind that NUS has one food court for each different studying school, like Medicine, Architecture & Engineering, etc. So each food court has at least one Indian food stall that has the food I'm talking about. The other stalls all have different food like western food options, chicken & rice (Singapore style), Chinese food, etc. Those are really good to eat if you like exploring other options.

A strong foundation in sustainability at TUM.
Tips: Before joining the Technical University of Munich (M.S. in Sustainable Resource Management), Students should be prepared for rigorous, research-oriented program with a strong interdisciplinary focus and high academic independence. Transitioning to TUM involved adapting to a structured German academic culture and a more self-driven learning approach, which was a noticeable but enriching culture shift. I was able to avail a merit-based scholarship (Deutschland Stipendium) during my studies that provided partial financial support toward living expenses. I am very satisfied with the quality of education, the sustainability-focused curriculam, and the academic environement in Germany, despite the relatively high cost of living.
Likes (Public transportation): I rated 5 for Student Life because my experience at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in the M.S. Sustainable Resource Management program is both academically enriching and socially vibrant. A typical day involves lectures on sustainability, environmental economics and resource policy, group projects, and independent research, often combined with study sessions in the library or collaboration spaces. What I enjoy most is the strong balance between theory and real-world application, along with TUM's international and interdisciplinary environment. The campus regularly hosts sustainability workshops, industry talks, hackathons, cultural festivals, and networking events, and I participate quite often, especially in academic and sustainability focused events. There are active student clubs and communities related to sustainability, environmental initiatives, entrepreneurship, sports, and international students, which makes campus life engaging and inclusive.
Dislikes (Part time work): The professors in the Sustainable Resource Management M.S. Program at TUM are highly knowledgeable, research driven and deeply involved in real world sustainability challenges. The faculty is very accessible and approachable; they encourage questions, are responsive during office hours, and actively support students in research and career guidance. The Teaching methodology is unique due to its strong interdisciplinary approach, combining environmental science, economics, policy and practical case studies, often linked to ongoing research projects. The faculty is also highly diverse, with professors and lecturers from various nationalities and academic backgrounds, which brings global perspectives to sustainability and resource management topics.

Good quality education with lot of job opportunities.
Tips: Indian and German cultures are quite different. But if you are open to meeting new people and learn about different cultures, it becomes easy. Learning German beforehand would also be helpful. I didn't avail any scholarships. Very satisfied in terms of education and living experience. And Germany offers a lot of opportunities for jobs as well which helps students find working student jobs or internships.
Likes (Safety): The city is international and very safe. The people are welcoming as well. Almost everyone speaks English. Very rare cases of racism. The campus is also very safe and in case something happens, the police are also very active or you can reach out to the student committee.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It is difficult to find Indian food options in day to day life in general. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Munich but they are expensive. It can cost 20-30 for a single person meal. I preferred cooking myself as it is cheap and affordable.

Career oriented program.
Tips: TUM made me smart and humble at the same time. If you really introspect, very few things you come across in life are capable of doing this. If you are able to get into TUM then by all probabilities you are one of the smartest guys in your previous university. So you might have a bag of ego with you. As soon as you get into TUM you will realize that most people around you are way smarter than you. This makes you humble. Nevertheless you still have to survive the daunting coursework at TUM and this makes you step out of your comfort zone and push your limits. You will realize that your real limits and your perceived limits are actually not the same. As you can imagine, going through this is a priceless experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are insanely busy. But still, they did a great job in preparing and delivering quality lectures. But approaching professors after the lectures is not easy unless it has something to do with our dissertation or some potential industrial collaboration. Some units of the departments of professors function like a consultancy where they provide solutions to industries. They do a good job in applying outcomes of academic research to industries.

Best university in a safe town.
Tips: Strong academics in a very safe, quiet town. Students should be ready for a calm lifestyle and be proactive about internships and learning basic German. The transition is smooth with a cultural shift toward punctuality, rules and independence. Scholarships like Deutschlandstipendium (€300/month), merit based scholarships and also need based depending on the semester are available.
Likes (Safety): Well lit streets, reliable public transport, emergency numbers with quick response, student support services, and strict laws ensure safety. TUM also offers student counselling, emergency contacts and accommodation support !! Straubing is a small, quiet Bavarian town with very low crime rates and a strong sense of community. Germany is considered one of the safest countries for students, including international students. The city feels calm, walkable, and safe even late in the night, especially compared to big cities. Wouldn't say bad but an awkward experience is that occasional staring while walking on the road or in a supermarket, but no serious safety concerns or hostile incidents have happened till now.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The program has strong academic and research value, but Straubing has a limited local biotech industry. Graduates usually need to relocate to major hubs (Munich, Berlin, Heidelberg) and competition is high, especially without German language proficiency. Also, Germany has hundreds of biotech & pharma companies that can sponsor visas via the EU Blue Card. Typical roles include Research Associate, Bioprocess Engineer, and QC or Regulatory roles with salaries around €20,000–€50,000/year for MSc graduates.

Academically oriented, no sports only research.
Tips: From 2024, tuition was introduce which doesn't attract many international students, since other universities still doesn't take tuition fee. The campus for life sciences is located 30 km away from munich, but has easy access via trains. Peaceful .
Likes (Value for money): There is minimum tuition fee of 85 euros. Hence you get to study, and join internships and do research without spending much. And also there is no stress over lectures and academics, so easy to do part time and studies together. The restaurants and cafe serve within average prices .
Dislikes (Part time work): Freising is a small town, it is difficult to get part time jobs without proper German proficiency. On campus jobs are very rare for Science students. Mostly mini jobs, but not part time. The teach students might sometimes get on campus jobs, but most others need good German language speaking skills. There is a bakery and canteen in the campus which serves pretty nice food.

I gained a lot of knowledge during my education.
Tips: They need to research properly about the course properly. In my opinion, don't select a university based on its ranking in Germany. Select the course that is more interesting to you and learn. Before selecting a course search for career opportunities in the field.
Likes (Public transportation): Due to the Deutschland ticket, it's affordable and people can use any time of public transportation. With this ticket, I have travelled all around Germany at free of cost. Also public transportation is really good and it's almost on time. So especially students can travel all around Germany for free of cost.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to the economic crisis and language barriers, companies are not hiring people. Student who have passed need to go back after their job seeking visas. Also, due to a lack of integration with the German culture, which is a major problem. Normally, after education, they are offered a research assistant position in universities and a research institute after Master's degree.

Tips: I'm grateful to be studying in one of the best universities in the world. TUM offers world class education and professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable. You can also apply for scholarships if you're planning to study here. I myself didn't avail any for TUM but I got an Erasmus scholarship for my semester abroad exchange in Austria. I'm content with whatever course I'm studying. I've grown personally and academically after coming here. The only thing is that searching for a part time job is hard if you don't know German. It has been a good experience so far for me.

Good opportunities and friendly campus.
Tips: Be ready to invest in learning beyond the syllabus. Required knowledge for an exam or presentation is not limited to the lecture presentations, but self study as well. Look for scholarships in advance to avail them. Finding the right balance between academics, job and social life could be a bit confusing in the beginning but prioritising is the key. Mental health care is a must. Having a good group of friends and classmates would play a way important role in shaping you're life abroad away from home.
Likes (Safety): Having been on that campus, there has never been a moment of unsafe feeling. There are quick helplines in case of any kind of emergency. There was a case where I forgot my mobile phone on the train, but thankfully, the person who found the phone informed us and arranged for a place to collect it from.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time jobs on campus would depend on your profile from previous degrees and experiences and language flexibility. There are boards for 'Job postings' in the canteen, which would have part time, internship and even PhD postings. There are also databases for internships guiding us through the departments, universities and institutes that we could explore, not only nationally but also internationally. To have a good balance between academics and part -time jobs/internships, on campus opportunities are definitely easier, especially for the initial 1 or 2 semesters, where academics could be a bit intense. Average pay for these jobs would vary, from 13.5 to 15 euros or more depending on the type of job, whether in-campus or outside. For off-campus part time jobs are available and making use of all resources as possible, online sites, job fairs, or even posters in stores that would need a part-time employee.

An inclusive and engaging learning environment.
Tips: The transition was not easy initially but I adapted myself really well within the next few months. Right from the change of food, weather, to even teaching methodology and the way they asked questions in the exam. I did not pay any tuition fees except the student union fees, which were around 75 euros.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very accessible and friendly. We are encouraged to share our inputs freely. Regarding the teaching methodology that I find the most unique is the way the faculty involves everyone in the discussion. In terms of nationality, it is very diverse.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Being a vegetarian I was a little sceptical but there are lots of restaurants, cafes and bakeries around the university. I prefer cooking myself. But at the same time, you get to taste the best pretzels, Berliners and croissants. It's a blend of unique and traditional cooking that one gets to see in Germany.

It’s one of the best university to study in Germany. Also it’s Industry and research oriented.
Tips: Students should first have clarity about choosing their field of study and register for required courses at the earliest so as to get a fixed place, and one of the major things they should do is look for accommodation well in advance. Better to learn a basic level of German or to register for a language course very well in advance, as it's very competitive to get a fixed place.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is on point, we can concentrate on academics and we have a student union which facilitates us to participate in extra-curricular activities as well. So you can enjoy your student life completely and have some opportunity to be part of student perks as tickets for movies, travel everything will be on concession.
Dislikes (Safety): Professors come down themselves to take the classes which is super beneficial as some of them are like veterans in their field of study and one best thing is we have a platform called Moodle where lecturer uploads everything before the class. Some of the courses also have practical experience, so it's one of the good things.

Build connections, set boundaries, and maintain a balance in your work.
Tips: Be friendly and communicate well. Build connections, set boundaries and maintain a balance in your work. Recognise your accomplishments and work honestly, without trying to please everyone.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well connected from student dorms and the university on weekdays from 7 am to 10 pm in Freising. The Munich campus has better connectivity. In Freising the main modes of transport are buses while in Munich it's Regional trains or S Bahn. Munich also has good U Bahn and tram connectivity. Public transport is affordable, but it often experiences delays.
Dislikes (Part time work): The number of campus jobs is limited, making it somewhat challenging, especially initially. However, it improves over time as you learn the best approach. Besides off campus jobs, such as odd jobs, most require German language skills; if you have an A2 level, many opportunities exist. The average pay for part time work is around 15 to 16 euros/hour for on campus positions and 12.50 to 15 euros/hour for odd jobs.

Punctuality is highly valued. Securing jobs and internships can be difficult.
Tips: Winters can be challenging consider supplements, socialise and get outside. Summers are wonderful; make the most of them. Be dedicated and proactive as you won't be spoon-fed. Learn the local language it's incredibly helpful. Learn to cook. Don't be afraid to connect with people; friends are invaluable. Maintain good hygiene and be tidy; there are no excuses for messiness. Punctuality is highly valued. While securing jobs and internships can be difficult, it's not impossible. Respect the new culture and integrate well – avoid littering, excessive talking, rudeness, and discrimination. The studies are not difficult, but you need to determine what to focus on. Participate in as many projects as possible and genuinely care about your work, and pursue hobbies.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation network is huge, well-connected, and regular. Trains run late sometimes, but buses are very frequent, except on Sundays and you can reach most places. Touristy routes tend to be very crowded, especially on weekends. Get a bike and use it; it's the best commuting option.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian Food in general is not the most delicious, especially the affordable options. You need to go for expensive options. Indian grocery stores are also quite expensive, but worth it for some items. Other cuisines are cheaper but not always tasty. Try to cook at home and eat out 2-3 times a month.

TUM is very student-friendly and welcoming.
Tips: There are some significant cultural shocks as German culture is quite different from Indian culture. You'll need to be open to new ideas. I didn't get any scholarship as there was no tuition fee when I studied. University, and course were good. The country's bureaucracy could be better. But alas, no one wants to pay for it.
Likes (Student Life): Go to the lectures, and listen carefully. It’s also good to work with a diverse group of students. There are parties, festivals, and job fairs, and I would recommend trying to participate in as many of these as you can. You’ll find that there’s a student club for almost every activity, and if there isn’t one for something you’re interested in, you can even form your own, and the university will support you as long as it is a reasonable undertaking.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent immigration are high, but the process is long, irritating, and complicated. You'll need to learn the language, and the waiting times to even process the application are in months or years sometimes. I'd like to immigrate, but the only thing holding me back is that I can't bring my parents in the long term.

Education system is way more application and industrial oriented.
Tips: Getting to know lots of people from India and other countries makes me feel connected. There isn't a big culture shift, as the people are friendly and you can greet strangers. However, knowing the language will help, especially for buying groceries and completing daily chores. The university offers a lot of really good internships that range from 5 to 15 credit hours. But they tend to get snapped up fast, so you need to keep your eye out and apply the moment you see an opening. The faculty are approachable and easy to communicate with, which is really nice when you need help getting ready for an interview. I also really like the faculty, and I appreciate how friendly and approachable they are. I find them easy to contact and get advice from.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work is not easy to get, especially for students who don't know German. It's around 5 hours of work for 3 days per week, which is hard to manage with studies. But in Germany, classes happen only 2-3 days. In such cases, scheduling the work properly helps. Basic payout is 12.5 euros per hr depending on the job. If you know German, then the job will be quite easy to do.

Entrepreneurial university with great facilities.
Tips: The university is very good in terms of ranking and recognition. The course contents are updated and correspond to current real-world examples. Some courses are at a different campus, which might require proper time management. Also, various classes can happen at the same time. Internships are slightly difficult in the current market. Moreover, knowing German would be a significant advantage. There's no specific guidance from the university, we have to try for it on our own. If some professors found something within their circle, they would post it.
Likes (Public transportation): Most of the locations within city limits are well connected. There are three campuses within Munich and on the edge of the city. They are well-connected in peak hours, but, some areas on the outskirts will have less frequent transportation after 9 p.m. But the limits are good and well-connected.

Tips: It's a different culture, of course, so one should be prepared for the change. In my case, I know B2 German by this point, and my partner is German as well, so I've had the opportunity to get immersed in the culture here. I'd say it's important to at least make friends from different places and not to stay in your comfort zone. I have the Deutschlandstipendium, which gives me 300 euros per month and has made life easier for me. In addition, I also got a student job at university as a research assistant and have been doing research internships at university as well.

The Deutschland ticket lets you travel anywhere easily, and the trains are normally on time.
Tips: For me, as a personal experience, the transition from India to Germany was relatively easy, as I already had friends from India who helped me to easily integrate into Germany. For the people who are coming, if it's their first time, it won't be that easy to adjust at first, but once you make friends and start getting out of your comfort zone, it will be worth the time. I didn’t apply for any scholarships.
Likes (Public transportation): The mode of transportation is really well done in Germany. Especially for TUM, it is really well done, as with the ' Deutschland ticket you could easily travel anywhere, and the trains are usually on time. The price of the ticket after the student discount is around 38 euros which 3,5000 which is highly worth it for the money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The German food is bland and not that good compared to Indian food. Also, Indian restaurants are a bit on the expensive side, and it really takes getting to know them to cook. So, it's always good to come prepared.

University is excellent and we have many on-campus activities as well.
Tips: Life isn’t easy at this university, but it’s not difficult either. The first thing you need to do after you enrol is to find your people. I believe the tuition I have paid is for my own good, as it will help the university obtain better equipment and the other necessary things that students require. These tuition fees are used for our benefit. Many events also take place because of it. It’s easy to find off-campus part-time work. This can be managed alongside schoolwork because you can take on a job with flexible hours. You’re paid based on the job type, for example, part-time, full-time, or minijob. The minimum wage is €12-13 per hour.
