BSc in Computer science - Batch of 2028
4.1
Great Univesity in terms of student life and academics. Affordable for every student
Tips: Moving out here brings a pretty visible cultural shift, so your best bet is to gather as much information as you can before you actually arrive. When it comes to the Computer Science program at TU Dortmund, the course definitely has its highs and lows. It is incredibly heavy on theory and math which can be exhausting but the sheer depth they go into gives you some really interesting insights into how the university approaches the field.
Honestly, Germany is easily one of the best countries for international students when you weigh up all the perks and subsidized benefits. The one massive thing you have to brace yourself for, though, is how insanely strict the university rules are, especially once the exam season hits. TU Dortmund does not mess around during finals—the regulations are rigid, and you really have to stay on top of your game to survive the pressure.

The course is interesting but not easy to complete in 4-semesters and requires more effort.
Tips: The PSE course is not easy, and students have to put in a lot of effort and time to complete the course. There are a few who couldn't complete the course in 4 years, too. But the course is very structured and up to date, with very interesting subjects to study and further work. The department is quite demanding, and the number of courses per semester is high, which is why students take more than 4 semesters to complete. So, you need to be prepared to do the hard work accordingly. I haven't applied to any scholarships, but students joining here can apply for the DAAD scholarship and the Deutschland stipendium for BCI students. I am satisfied with the course structure as it is interesting to me. I recommend that applicants go through the course structure and the department's modules handbook before joining. Along with these, it is important as a process engineer to learn German, which is not easy. So, I recommend to start leraning German before coming here.
Likes (Public transportation): Dortmund is well-connected by public transport. It is very convenient to travel to the university or any other place. The local transport is free, it is included in the semester fee that students pay every semester. The Deutschland ticket is included in the Semesterbeitrag.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are very limited off-campus part-time job opportunities for students who are fluent in German. On-campus jobs are also scarce and are usually available only if there is a vacancy in a lab or if a student has good grades. Some students are unable to find any part-time work at all. Managing a part-time job alongside this course is challenging, and students who plan to work while also learning German typically take more than four semesters to complete the programme. Average pay varies depending on the workplace and the number of hours worked, but the minimum wage is 13.9/hour with a maximum of 20 working hours per week.

Fun student life; lots of sports and clubs.
Tips: I could do lots of sports which also helped me find many local friends. I learn from them not only their language but also their culture and how they have friendships. I feel good that Dortmund is a city that has many opportunities for everything.
Likes (Value for money): There are lots of Indian restaurants and other cuisines available but I prefer cooking for myself to manage my expenses. The University Canteen offers cheap food so whenever I can't cook, I eat at the University. If we miss some good foods from our home but can't prepare them on our own, we can eat at the restaurants. They aren't so expensive but frequent eating will be expensive.
Dislikes (Student Life): I usually attend the lectures and do sports in the evening at university. I especially love the many sports activities available. There are variety of events especially representing unity in diversity. I usually enjoy the International Cultural Fest where we represent each country's traditional food and culture.

Studying in Germany can be a bit difficult but the tuition fee is zero.
Tips: You should know that getting into college is a bit difficult, and even after getting in, the exams and everything, especially in Germany. I think if you work hard here and you come with that mindset you will do well.
Likes (Value for money): I think the tuition fee in Germany is zero and it is really good here because you get to learn a lot of quality stuff, but of course, to balance it out, the course will be very difficult. The value for money is going to be very good, but you have to be hard working.
Dislikes (Part time work): I think it is fairly easy to get part time work, especially for working in hot fields like artificial intelligence and you might be able to if you are decently hardworking and the pay is also fine. Especially in hot fields like software, you have an option.

Multi activity university with referrals.
Tips: The Technical University of Dortmund has many study plans that are difficult to navigate. The school does have the option to study abroad, and students can work with an academic advisor to help them navigate the selection of classes. Language is also a big part of the experience, and it's important to consider how your language skills will help you study. The study pattern is completely different from our country. Referral and planned plans can help you explore better. Balancing life and studies is the most difficult part.
Likes (Part time work): There are multiple part-time jobs but they are engrossing and tiring. Diverting focus from studies to earning money during study time. Part-time jobs are difficult to find during the intake time as all people are applying at the same time. Also, it might be that you need to travel for part-time jobs a lot.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no campus placement options. You need to struggle yourself to find a job. Also finding English-speaking jobs is more difficult. Even if the course is in English companies are not that friendly to allow you to work with it. German is a must to have a career in Germany.

Challenging yet interesting international experience.
Tips: Learning German until the B1 level is compulsory. The weather during winter can be extremely difficult. The courses in the university are very intensive, and mostly oriented for Ph.D. aspirants. I didn't have any scholarship, hence I did a couple of technical as well as non-technical part-time jobs to support my finances. The university provides free education and only charges a small administrative fee for university degrees. The quality of education is excellent, and you can learn a lot from the co-curricular activities and develop many soft skills, such as representation skills and scientific paper presentations. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course and the university.
Dislikes (Safety): There are Neo-Nazi Demonstrations sometime during the years, and a lot going on in the city that is difficult for international students to be aware of. Some areas in Dortmund Dorstfeld are not considered to be safe to visit during quiet hours. As an international student, you have to always carry your ID and stay alert if you find someone suspicious while travelling.

An overall good experience but a tough curriculum.
Tips: Germany overall is a nice experience, but knowing German is a must. Even if the course is in English many of the locals won't communicate in English (government officials as well). This is not the case in big international cities like Munich or Berlin but for Dortmund, you need to know some basic German. As far as this course is concerned i.e. Masters in data Science, one should be prepared to face a curriculum which is more into Statistics. If you already have a knowledge of stats, this course won't be that difficult (especially mandatory stats subjects) but for the rest, it's hard.

Totally study oriented, good teachers with very good course curriculum.
Tips: Tuition fees are 1665; there is not much part-time work without the German language. Public transportation is not good; it's a very rural area inside the Black Forest but very beautiful. The language barrier is very intense here. There are no scholarships I got. I love this university; I just hate the Ausländerbehörde in this area.
Likes (Safety): It's totally safe to go around even at night. No specific facilities I have seen, but also I didn't see any incident that I can say was unsafe. The total area is full of students, so mostly you will meet students and very few local people. People are friendly with international students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I like to cook myself because there is no Indian food shop nearby. The nearest Indian restaurants are in Villingen and Freiburg. Nearby most restaurants are German and Turkish kebab shops. Also, 2/3 of Vietnamese restaurants cost 10-20 euro for a basic meal.

BSc in International Business Information Systems (International Business Information Systems, Double Degree) - Batch of 2029
Offered by Hochschule Furtwangen University
4.0
A peaceful campus in small town - Great for focused students.
Tips: The transition to Germany and HFU was quite smooth for me overall. The people here are welcoming, and the campus environment is calm and focused. The life here is much more independent—you manage everything on your own, groceries, paperwork, etc. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. So be prepared to manage your expenses on your own, and do that wisely. The university and course are okay for me. The course is structured, and international exposure is valuable. But this is a small town, so if you enjoy the big-city life, that might take some adjustment. Overall it is a good stepping stone if you are clear about your goals.
Likes (Safety): As for me, I have not faced any bad experiences here regarding safety. Germany is known for its strict safety standards, and as a girl, I feel very safe here, even at nights. So if you want a late-night break or late-night library study session, you can definitely have them without any hesitations.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Living up here in Furtwangen is a massive adjustment because the town is honestly tiny. If you're craving proper food from back home, you can completely forget about finding it anywhere nearby—you literally have to make a whole trip out to bigger cities like Freiburg or Stuttgart just to hit up a decent international grocery store.
Because of that, pretty much everyone on campus defaults to cooking their own meals, which is honestly a lifesaver for your budget anyway. You can grab all your basic, everyday ingredients from the local supermarkets in town but for anything specialized, you just learn to get creative or wait until your next city trip.

stay in a small village, practice german and studies .The courses are well made
Tips: It could be a little difficult to come here for the first time, but you can always contact any and all students already studying here or me if I am still here, and I could help in any way possible. Scholarships do exist from DAAD, so they need to be applied for. I am happy with my course. Some teaching methods were different from what was in India, but I liked the labs and am satisfied with the course.
Likes (Public transportation): The connections are good. You have a bus every hour. You can buy a student ticket for 45 euros and travel everywhere with the public transport. Buses come until 12, which is good if you are working somewhere close by, as you can easily travel back after your shift.
Dislikes (Internships): This course does not have a compulsory internship, so you have to do it voluntarily. You do have a job fair every sem, and many require German, so learning German and coming would be a good choice. Any other position will also be put up on the wall, from which it can be applied.

One amazing journey that ever happened in my life.
Tips: Umm, I’d say yes, there are few cultural differences. But you’ll get adjusted to it. No scholarship. Very much satisfied with the course, university, lectures, and professors. Students across this university are also friendly. I’m happy and would give it 5/5.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Changes are good and nice, as long as you satisfy the requirements. I’m not sure if I’ll obtain the PR or not. Too soon to comment on that. Again, how fast you get your PR or any other status depends on that local city foreign office. Overall, the process is slow but good.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Well, the city is quite small, around 12k people. The city just has buses to travel around. There are no trains and S/U-bahns. However, the buses are frequent and punctual. Affordable - when you buy the Deutschland ticket. No trains after 11 PM at night.

Parties, fest and job fair.
Tips: They should know their motive first and choose the course that is in their best interest. There are scholarship options available. I am satisfied with the course as it MET my objective. Most of the students are from other countries, so it's good to get some international exposure. The teaching and professors are high class with great knowledge. So it would be the best experience for anyone if they chose their course rightly.
Likes (Value for money): The course is totally worth the money since it has good value and content. Back in India we won't get this at this price. Since this university is affiliated with SAP, you will get to play along in the SAP software and learn from the firsthand experience from the very people who were working with SAP.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no nearby groceries or Indian restaurants available. The nearest one is 1.5 hrs from Furtwangen. The Indian restaurants are highly priced here. It can take up to a minimum of 30 to 35 euro for one-time meals; again, it depends on the restaurant you go to. I eat outside once a week or month, as cooking is the more sustainable option for any student.

Nice university with best faculty.
Tips: Learn the German language it's very important. No part time if we don't know the basics. The university faculty members are nice and friendly. But the academics are stressful with a lot of assignments and tasks. Hardly a few subjects have a written exam but they are tough as the university expects a different style of answering and no spoon feeding is done. Just a PPT and you need to figure out your academics. There will be presentations done by students, which are also part of your exam syllabus so you need to catch up on that as well.
Likes (Safety): Even at 12 in the night, it's safe to walk. People party till 3 am in the morning and reach their accommodation safely. The citizens here respect each other. There is no need for security in the university as well as the citizens are well behaved and mind their own business.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have still not graduated, so no idea. But few of my seniors are struggling to get post study job due to a language barrier and the job market. It's difficult to get into any kind of job and after you apply to 1000 applications only you will only be landing one.

Country side life in German university is peaceful.
Tips: Since the town is almost located in the countryside, there are many cultural differences compared to the city side. One thing is German language, we will get the opportunity to learn quickly.
I did not avail of any scholarships because I did not do any research on those things due to a lack of time management.
I am almost very satisfied with the university, course and the country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculties from the smart systems are very helpful in the entire course of study. I have no complaints when it comes to this topic. The faculties are approachable to any level to understand the topics they teach.
The unique methodology that I found interesting was the assignments given by different professors. All the assignments were unique and interesting to solve. The assignments were posted online to complete sometimes and even the questions were different for all the students given by some professors.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on campus part time jobs are not a problem for students who are interested in HiWi jobs under any professors. But the off-campus jobs are highly impossible to get in this town. You need to travel at least 30 minutes or sometimes 90 minutes (to the nearest big city) depending on the job location. But as per my experience, I suggest the students do jobs under professors.

Wonderful college with friendly professors
Tips: For me, except for the language barrier everything was nice. There was no cultural shift that I experienced because if you have a strong cultural background then you cannot be changed. There are not many scholarships available that the university provides. I'm fairly satisfied with my university.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for the course offered by my university is not too high from my perspective since I'm studying in a government-aided university but the living expenses are somewhat high. The private university tuition fee is more when compared with government-aided one.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no restaurants that offer food from our country in my residence, but we can get the ingredients and cook ourselves. If we want to have food from our country then we can visit nearby big cities which offer food from different countries.
