My University is very great
Tips: Nothing! Just come. There are many things to consider, but all of those can be solved once you come here. Be mentally prepared for the cold weather and homesickness. Apart from that, just do your best to achieve good grades and be socially active with people.

Best ROI for your Masters with some compromises
Tips: College life is very different from what we have back home in India. Classes aren't mandatory, and you can just appear for examinations directly. You have a lot of freedom to choose your own subjects and major. - I did not avail any scholarships, but there is a Deutschland Stipendium, which is offered to handpicked students to cover some part of their monthly expenses. - I am pretty satisfied with the course, as it has given me so much freedom to choose my own path. Germany itself is okay at best, with the job market being very difficult nowadays to find a job post-graduation.
Likes (Value for money): Education is basically free in Germany that is why the value is unmatched and cannot be compared with any other country in the world. You pay only a minimal semester contribution (350 euros), which also includes your travel ticket, so in terms of value, this is actually the best option.
Dislikes (Public transportation): There are a lot of options, but the frequency is lower than in some other big cities. Usually, buses come every 20 minutes. You get the Deutschlandticket with the semester contribution, and that allows you to use all public transport across the country.

Pretty good if you want to get some in depth knowledge.
Tips: It's good to take a look at the subjects of the course. I got 3 scholarships in total: the Deutschlandstipendium twice and the DAAD Scholarship once. 4 out of 5. In general, life during my master's was pretty good. I am grateful that I was able to make lots of great friends.
Likes (Value for money): I think most public universities in Germany do not have fees. So it's a great deal. You come and just pay the semester fee, which in turn subsidizes the Mensa food and gives you a Semesterticket. The Hochschulsport department also offers lots of sports courses for very cheap.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty nice and approachable. You could ask them questions, and they were open to offering TA positions if you scored well. When I was there, the university didn't have many teachers in the AI field. It is improving. Some subjects were very theoretical, and I loved it. I think it was 80% German then. Now, I am not so sure.

BSc in Computer science - Batch of 2028

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.

My Master's Journey in Germany
Tips: For me, the transition was special because I had lived with my family for 22 years, and for the first time, I was living away from them and that too in another country. So, the early days were challenging to adapt to a new culture, a new country and sometimes even food which I never had in my home country. But you have to stay strong and positive in order to get used to the things and become comfortable. If you want to grow in life, you always need to step out of your comfort zone.
Likes (Internships): The professors and student office guide you through the application process. You can also find some internship advertisements on the university career portal, but the options are limited, and they may not always be in your preferred field. So, you have to search by yourself and apply for the same. The student centre also guides you regarding CV and cover letter format and other details.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Hof is a small town in Bavaria, Germany, so there are fewer Indian restaurants compared to big cities. If I remember correctly, there were two Indian restaurants available during my master's. In general, I love cooking, so I always preferred to cook at home during my master's.

Balanced student life with safe and supportive study environment.
Tips: Students should know basic German which is important here for daily life and part-time jobs, and Hof is a small city with pace and beauty. Students who have already been living independently would have a smooth transition. I did not avail any scholarships, but options are available. I am satisfied with my university, course and life in Germany due to its quality education and safe environment, especially for girls.
Likes (Safety): Hof is a very calm and secure city where I feel safe even during late hours. Apart from campus security, facilities like good street lighting and reliable public transport add to the overall safety. I have not had any negative experience so far, as the environment is peaceful and student-friendly.
Dislikes (Part time work): Opportunities are available but somewhat limited and competitive, especially in smaller cities like Hof and many require more than basic German skills. On-campus jobs are fewer, while off-campus jobs like retail warehouse jobs are more common. Balancing part-time work with studies is manageable with good time management and students typically earn around 12-15 euros per hour depending on the role.

Good to get in, but not worth the fees.
Tips: It's not worth 3500 eur per semester for what they teach. Also I think I knew better than our lecturers. Even though all the professors are qualified, but uses 5 year old slides for teaching. If you just want to get a master's degree, come to this one. Absolutely no effort required to study.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is good around the city. But the worst is when you travel with DB. If you make a home near the college is good as public transport is good so it takes 10 15 minutes to reach college. Some professors are absolute racists; they will allow some nationalities of students in even though they are late.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are available. But college doesn't allow students to work in any Amazon workcenters. The professor says that if a student goes to work, he will not do well in studies. But the content that they teach is better not to be in the university.

Finding the balance in HOF.
Tips: Learn the German language so that you can find jobs here, although the college is highly English speaking too. The staff and faculty members are really very cooperative and the college has a beautiful campus with modern technologies available to students. There's not a single thing to dislike about the college.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Almost every professor has good industry experience and thus, the practical knowledge that they share is very much relevant and valuable. Two-way communication is very much appreciated and practised, which improves the quality of lectures. One thing that should be highly noted is that you don't come late. Professors put the same effort with the same intention irrespective of the number of attendees which reflects their honesty and professionalism towards their role. Really something to learn from them even in everyday life.
Dislikes (Part time work): HOF is a small but peaceful town with a majority of its population who seem to be aged and speak only German and thus it becomes hard to find English speaking jobs here. If you can keep up the conversation in German, you will find it easy to find jobs. And if you do get one, HOF is not expensive anyway, and you will start enjoying and appreciating this beautiful town here.

Life and learnings at Hof University.
Tips: Initially, adjusting to the culture was challenging as it was my first time being so far from home. However, things became smoother over time. Securing a part-time job and making new friends made the experience worthwhile. There are scholarship opportunities available for students with good academic performance. I am fully satisfied with my course and the university.
Likes (Safety): Mostly, residential areas in Germany are very quiet and calm, and it's very safe to walk around, even at night. I once even forgot my phone on public transport, but I was able to get it back due to the good security. Additionally, Germany offers student discounts on public transportation, which is very beneficial.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian finding Indian food isn't an issue in Germany with numerous Indian and Asian restaurants available everywhere. The prices are also reasonable. I eat Indian food about once a month, and it's easy to find all the necessary products to cook Indian dishes.

A close-knit campus with global and creative opportunities.
Tips: The transition to Germany was both exciting and challenging. I experienced a cultural shift mainly in independent and punctual life here, and also in the direct way people communicate, which I've grown to appreciate. I haven't applied for any scholarships yet, but Hof University offers various scholarships like DAAD, Deutschland Stipendium, and other scholarships. Overall, I am very much satisfied with my university as the professors are approachable, the course is well-structured, and the country offers a safe and international environment that allows me to grow both academically and professionally.
Likes (Student Life): There will be regular lectures, seminars, and presentations. The university campus is very calm and serene, offering a good atmosphere for students to study. The library is well-equipped, and the university campus offers various facilities. Regular career-related and community-based events take place at the university. Hof University has clubs for sports, international networking, entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and student representation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are few Indian restaurants but they lack authenticity and are expensive. I would rather prefer trying local cuisines and cooking Indian food at home. There are few supermarket which have a large selection of Indian groceries and frozen items. Also one can go to a nearby larger city like Nuremberg to buy Indian groceries.

Practical and industry-oriented.
Tips: This is a very good course. The internship opportunities are excellent and significantly enhance your CV for future full-time positions. The only consideration is the semester fee of 3500 euros. Apart from that, it's fantastic. Before coming to Germany, it's crucial to learn German to at least a B1 level, and having at least two years of experience in India will make life much easier.
Likes (Indian Food):
There are various options available both on and off campus. The canteen occasionally offers Indian food, and they also have vegan options. However since you've come so far I encourage you to embrace the local cuisine it's quite good as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are some student assistant jobs, require you to contact different professors. There are off campus jobs but those usually require good German skills. There are also some helping jobs in production facilities that don't require much German.

Helpful teachers, friendly students, and a welcoming culture.
Tips: First of all, students should know basic German, at least A1-A2 level, to interact easily with others and take part in discussions; without it, they may feel left out. They should also be hardworking and punctual to complete assignments and tests on time. I did not receive any scholarship, as my current university had a tie-up with a German university, so I went directly through my college. Overall, it was a very good experience. Germany is technologically advanced, offers great exposure, and the industrial visits added immense value to my learning.
Likes (Student Life): I always felt secure both on campus and in the surrounding areas. The environment is peaceful, crime rates are low, and public transportation is reliable even at night. The university also has good safety measures and support systems for students, which made me feel confident about my well-being.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing good opportunities often depends on your language proficiency. While the education and course were in English, many quality internships require at least A1 or A2 level German. Professors can provide some guidance, but most of the effort has to come from you. Opportunities are available, yet obtaining them relies heavily on your skill set, networking, and initiative.

Limited opportunities but a friendly city.
Tips: Consider the cost of living and have a backup plan if you don't find a part-time job. Learning German is highly beneficial for the German job market. I am satisfied with both the course and the country, as they offer valuable opportunities and learning experiences, not just within the university, but for life in general.
Likes (Safety): There are no cameras, but the city is mostly secure. We have travelled at night many times without any issues. The streets are well-lit, and police vehicles patrol the area. There isn't much noticeable pollution either.
Dislikes (Part time work): There aren't many part-time jobs in the area, as Hof is a small city. To find work, you may need to travel, which is feasible. Part-time work can be managed alongside studies, with an average payout between 13 to 15 euros.

The university is good and is really well integrated with classrooms, a gym, the mess, etc.
Tips: I believe everyone transforms once they have international exposure. You get to see that people enjoy the sauna more than the gym. Winters are cold and empty, while summers are lively. I was fortunate enough to be selected for a semester scholarship from Erasmus. It was 1800 euros. It helped a lot with the expenses you have as an international student. Satisfied with the university, especially my course, as I come from a different professional background.
Likes (Student Life): Since it is a small city and the highest in Bavaria, coming from India, you get to see snowfall every winter. The college is really well integrated with classrooms, a gym, the mess, and everything else - it’s a complete package. You have many events like a boom party, a Halloween party, and a job fair etc. I was an active member of the SV, which is the student union. You also have the ISN, which is the International Student Network, a Christian Student Group, Hofspannung, and many others.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Although there is one restaurant, Ganesha, where you can find Indian food, the taste isn't on par with the Indian palette. Instead, the curries are sweet. When you're out eating, try doner, local bakeries, or pizza shops. But if you really crave Indian food, I recommend cooking it yourself. YouTube can really help, too. Plus, as a student, cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out, and that's helpful if you're on a budget.

Hof University of Applied Sciences is a safe, secure campus with multiple facilities.
Tips: Hof University offers a lot of variety in MBA programs, so you can always choose whatever suits your background or future ambitions. They also offer a lot of electives so that you can get the most out of your education, whether you know what you're going to do after graduation or not. If you're just looking around, you can check out the course curriculum and only apply if you find a program that appeals to you. There are very few part-time job opportunities on campus. There are a few student assistant positions, but they’re not enough. In technical courses, there are a few intern or student positions available. You can apply for them or directly contact a professor for a position. Hof University of Applied Sciences is a safe, secure campus with multiple parking options, a cafeteria, a gym, and many sports facilities. There is also a good connection to public transport. The university has a student culture that is particularly good for Indian students. Additionally, there are student dormitories available.

Not worth the fees but a good university.
Tips: The university offers the program at a very basic level. I knew all of it when I was studying. They explained in the curriculum that there would be a more in-depth coverage, which didn't happen, which is pretty disappointing. The university has a career service where students can get their resumes reviewed. They will then suggest if any corrections need to be made according to the standards of the hiring managers. Students are expected to find their own internships, and LinkedIn is generally a good place to find advertisements for them.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well-connected, but the bus, the only public transportation option, has low frequency. Buses only arrive hourly, and a semester ticket covers the cost of riding the bus within the city. A person interested in walking a lot will surely enjoy it here.

Hof University is great for learning and it’s very friendly for international students.
Tips: I have started living my life on my own, and there was not very much of a cultural shift as there are many Indians in the university. I didn't get a scholarship, but there are no tuition fees for a master's degree as it's a public university. The criteria for admission are a 2.5 GPA, a German A1 Certificate and an IELTS band score of 7.0. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the course and the country.
Likes (Safety): I have been in the city for 3 months and haven't experienced or heard of any safety issues. It's very safe to travel around the city at night, too. Plus, many people in the city are willing to help in case you encounter any problems or are in a bad situation. I can always go out or come home at night without worrying about being unsafe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is only one Indian store nearby that is also located in Hof, even though the Textile Campus is located in Münchberg. There are also only three restaurants nearby, which are also located in Hof and not Münchberg. A meal there usually costs 15 euros. For the most part, I just cook for myself.

A peaceful, relaxed and hard working life.
Tips: Management here is very good. If you ask for any help, they will definitely help you. I applied for a scholarship, but unfortunately, I was not qualified for that. Satisfied with my course, and also they have even introduced a new course for us as perones based on the needs of the market need.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very welcoming and highly understanding. They will also assist you with assignments and practicals. There's always something happening, whether it's cultural events, workshops, class activities, a career fair or just students changing out. It's easy to make friends, get involved and feel like you're part of a community.

A supportive, warm, and welcoming university.
Tips: There is a cultural shift to be aware of. In Germany, shops close at 8 pm every day, including weekends and public holidays. I got a scholarship with Bosch and applied for it through their portal. During my six months there, I worked for 35 hours a week as an intern. It’s very easy to find internships during the course. I was lucky enough to get one in Stuttgart with a decent remuneration, which is usually enough for daily expenses. The experience is excellent as you get to learn so much within the work environment. The colleagues are also excellent and supportive. Overall, I am satisfied with my university and the country is very welcoming.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Finding Indian food options is rather difficult. There are 2-3 Indian restaurants, but they are slightly expensive. Usually, it takes around 25 euros to dine at an Indian restaurant per person. I prefer cooking myself as it’s cheaper because other cuisines are relatively cheaper.

Practical learning with strong industry exposure at Hof University.
Tips: Hof University offers practical learning and strong industry tries, but students should be prepared for independent study and German bureaucracy. The transition involved a cultural shift in academics, work-life balance, and social life, with the language barrier being a challenge Learning German helps significantly. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university and course. Germany provides good career opportunities, though adapting to the weather and culture takes time.
Dislikes (Part time work): As Hof is a small city with lots of students it becomes difficult to get on-campus jobs and also it's difficult to get a job outside because of the language barrier. If you found a job the average payout for a part-time job will range around 900-1200.

The university is student friendly and the city is welcoming.
Tips: Before coming to college in Germany, especially for management courses, it is important to be well prepared in the German language. Fortunately, there are many Indians in Hof, so connecting with them through social media and WhatsApp groups is not difficult. The university also provides a lot of help through its portal to find initial accommodation. If you are a high achiever, the university offers scholarships after the first semester to students who are in the top 10% of their batch. I am satisfied with the course, which is operations-oriented and includes a one-year internship that provides valuable experience in Germany before entering the job market.

Public transportation is cheap, student life is the best.
Tips: Considerably cultural shift, it is very hard in the beginning, homesickness is something that got me at first but then I made friends (Please do that!). Campus is modern with all the facilities and things are very fast-paced. Just that in general management course there is a gap between the exams so there is semester extension limit. I came to Germany on DAAD, 930 euros what else I need plus top-notch education. I'm very satisfied and have zero complain.
Likes (Safety): It is safe usually some people are friendly and some are not that much. Some can even be racist at times but well that is something to be learned and deal with patience. Other than that there is no threat, things are cool and transportation is also cheap just 1-2 euro ticket for buses and trams.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The price is fair but the market has not many options. At Ganesha I have tried butter chicken and mango lassi. Well, there is a huge demand for butter chicken in foreign nations so it is believed that it is the most Indian dish (Laugh!). Per person, I guess it costs around 25-30 euros and the taste is okay.

Students should learn some German and IELTS is mandatory.
Tips: Prospective students should learn some German and have an IELTS. Check the university website for accurate information. I am satisfied with my university, M.A. in Global Management, and my time in Germany. I did not receive any scholarships, and I trained myself to perform all my tasks.
