Great learning opportunities and improves your skills and knowledge and personality
Tips: Before coming to TUHH, be ready for a significant cultural shift and a very high level of academic independence. Succeeding here requires serious self-discipline, patience, and mental resilience—especially when prepped for tough engineering Klausuren (exams) where nobody holds your hand. How easily you transition really comes down to your personal background and adaptability.
On the financial side, make sure you research and apply for scholarships like the Deutschlandstipendium or DAAD funding before deadlines pass; I didn't apply for any allowance or grant myself, so I paid out of pocket. Overall, despite the intense workload in Harburg, I'm genuinely satisfied with my course and the quality of education at TUHH.

TUHH changed my life for the better
Tips: Look the number one piece of advice for anyone heading to TUHH is simple: grind as much German as you possibly can before landing in Hamburg. Everyone says it, but you don't realize how true it is until you’re trying to handle German bureaucracy, read a rental contract, or just buy groceries without using Google Translate every five seconds. Moving to a foreign country means a major culture shock anyway, but the language is what makes or breaks how smooth that transition actually feels.
As for the university itself, I honestly have zero complaints. The courses at TUHH are tough but completely worth it and living in a massive port city like Hamburg is an incredible experience. If you’re willing to put in the effort to integrate and learn the local language, you're going to love it here—the setup, the professors, and the overall lifestyle are top-tier.

Good University of research
Tips: The main cultural shift is the language, and without the language, landing a werkstudent or part-time job has become difficult for the past few years. I am satisfied with the course in terms of subjects we have, but the ratio of students to professors is lower.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is well connected with S-bahns, buses, RE, and U-bahns. The university provides a Deutschland semester ticket (the cost of this ticket is covered in the semester contribution), which covers the public transport cost except ICE trains. With the semester ticket, public transport throughout Germany is free of cost (except for ICE trains and long-distance trains).
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors are approachable easily, but since M.Sc. Data Science is a new course, there are frequent changes happening in the curriculum and also restructuring of faculty. The teaching faculty is not that diverse, but professors do not discriminate against students based on nationality.

TU Hamburg is gaining attention in recent days for its research and capstone projects
Tips: Of course, there were many cultural shocks I experienced initially. However, I am used to them by now. Except for the cold weather for almost 8 months of the year, everything else is pleasant. The language is, of course, another thing that I am still transitioning into. It is quite difficult for internationals to learn the language. I was awarded the Deutschlandstipendium (German Scholarship) by the state. I applied through the university portals and got an allowance of 300 euros every month for a year. I am quite satisfied with my university and the course I am currently studying. For education, Germany offers one of the best qualities. For jobs, at the moment, it is not quite there. Hoping that it goes back to its glory days soon.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is, in general, very relaxing in Germany. Students are free to take however long they want to finish their studies, giving them a lot of freedom and stress-free education. There are a multitude of events and clubs a student can join based on his/her interests. Students are also free to open their own clubs on campus, provided they have the right leadership and following. I was part of the Indian student association as a volunteer. In addition, I also helped with the creation of a new swimming course on campus called Learning to Swim for beginners.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): At the moment, the job market in Germany is not great. A lot of the companies do not have the funding or plans for hiring. A few years ago, it was ideal. Almost everyone who graduated got a job post-study. The jobs now are limited, and the hiring has become very strict. But as far as I know, there are still well-paying jobs in engineering—especially IT and administrative/management positions. Salary range between 50000 and 70000 euros for entry-level jobs.

Strong Education, Great Opportunities and student-friendly Environment
Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for a self-study-focused academic system and independent learning. The transition was smooth, though adapting to German culture and communication style took time. I did not receive a scholarship. Overall, I am satisfied with the university, course and opportunities available in Germany.
Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, transit here is just a no-brainer to rate high because getting to the TUHH campus is incredibly easy. Hamburg's whole setup with the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, and buses is just seamless, and since the university is right by Harburg station, you can pretty much get to your classes from anywhere in the city without any head-scratching. The absolute best part of being a student here though is the Semesterticket. You pay your standard uni fees and that’s it—your travel is sorted for the whole term. Not required to constantly drop cash on individual train tickets or stress about fares is a massive lifesaver when you're living on a tight student budget.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I went with a lower rating for post-study jobs because even though Germany has a lot to offer on paper, actually tracking down a job after graduating from TUHH is a massive grind. Sure, the massive players out here like Airbus—which has a huge footprint right here in Hamburg—plus Siemens, Bosch, and Volkswagen are always hiring international graduates and are totally fine with sponsoring work visas. But the reality on the ground is that the competition is brutal. If you're gunning for the solid engineering roles, your chances are pretty slim unless your German language skills are up to scratch. It doesn't matter how great your tech background is; if you can't communicate with the local teams you're fighting an uphill battle.

Learn, grow, develop, and enjoy.
Tips: I did experience a cultural shift, but the environment is so friendly and nice. I was an Erasmus Mundus Scholar getting 1000 euros per month. The faculty was amazing, the students were nice and friendly, and there were so many events and festivals.
Likes (Public transportation): Very convenient as well as cheap. You get a student ticket for subsidised rates and you can travel anywhere with that. The campus is extremely well connected and public transport is very nice and fast. U bahns and S bahns made life very easy and regular buses also.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): No campus placements, so you really have to look out for jobs on your own during your thesis which is hard. It's best to look for an internship beforehand and talk to them to convert you into full time once you graduate, otherwise it can be a bit tricky.

There's a balance for academics and fun at TUHH.
Tips: You should be prepared for both highs and lows. But I am sure you will learn a lot. Germany as a country is cool. You can travel a lot too. Alongside studies, you can be involved in co curricular activities as well. This is what I like about the education here.
Likes (Student Life): There's a balance for academics and fun at TUHH. There are many events you can be a part of, and you can get to know people from different cultures. You can learn a lot of things other than academics. I feel this is a place where you find yourself. I found myself.
Dislikes (Part time work): The financial year of 2025 was difficult. The trend was low. Students found it hard to land a part time job. I had friends who could not find a job and were struggling. You need to learn the language to an extent to survive here. But other than that, it's a beautiful place to stay.

Strong academics and supportive faculty.
Tips: The most problematic thing after coming here was finding an accommodation. As in Germany, everyone has to do 'Anmeldung' which means everyone has to register their home with the local residential office. However, finding such type of accommodation (affordable) is hard to find. However, it becomes easier when you know good German. Knowing German helps everywhere from finding accommodation to small hustle in daily life. It is the key to surviving in Germany. With regard to the university, it is the best in terms of support, guidance and learning of course.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are always there to guide or help whenever required. We have regular lectures which focus on current trends in technology as well as each course has PBL- Project Based Learning in which students work on practical problems related to the subject.

Set your goals and do thorough research of what you are getting into.
Tips: The university is completely research-based. Which means you will get all the training for research, but you will not get more exposure to jobs. The university will not give you more hands-on experience with tools that the industries are currently using. If you want more hands-on and industry-ready, you should select applied science universities.
Likes (Public transportation): The fee payment for my university will include a public transport ticket. Germany has a Deutschland ticket, but for students, it will be called a semester ticket, and the fee for this will be taken from the semester fees that we pay. With this ticket, we can use all regional and citywide trains except for high-speed ICE trains.

Tips: Students should be prepared for a rigorous academic environment with high level of self directed learning at TUHH. The transition was smooth overall, though there was a cultural shift towards punctuality, independence, and structured systems. I am highly satisfied with university, the MEMS course and Germany as a study destination.
Likes (Safety): TUHH provides a vibrant and supportive campus environment. My days include classes, group projects and self study with student clubs international communities and cultural or technical events making college life engaging and enjoyable.

Lots of opportunities to explore.
Tips: Study well from the beginning as the course requires proper time for understanding concepts, and if you score good grades, several scholarship opportunities are unlocked. Learn to adapt to the surrounding environment and blend in with the German culture.
Likes (Value for money): As the university is a public university there is no tuition fee for the studies. Only expenses that are there are for the expenditures like house rent and health insurance and food cost. This can be managed by part time jobs at university and outside university by doing odd jobs.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Depending on the field of study, several chemical industries are present in Germany and Germany is considered the technological hub for process engineering. For designing jobs and production, you need German language skills to work in a German company.

Good college and faculty.
Tips: Students should know that academics are demanding and self-driven and basic German will be helpful for day to day life. The transition was smooth, though I noticed a culture shift. Here, people are punctual, organized and value personal space.
Likes (Safety): Hamburg feels safe even at night. Public transport is reliable, areas are pretty good, and people are respectful. City has emergency call points, response police, secure student housing and university helplines with proper health care facilities.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany offers clear pathways for international graduates to stay and work after their studies but the process of obtaining permanent residence is quite lengthy and requires several conditions. My chances are moderate for permanent settlement in this country.

Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is welcoming.
Tips: People from Bengaluru would get easily adjusted as the weather is just like Bengaluru's weather. Mood but not harsh. So my transition was easy. I haven't received a scholarship but there is Deutschlandstipendien available after each term. However, I do not know much about this. The professors don't really teach much here and it's all self learning. From my point of view I feel that's how education runs here. However the professors are really helpful if you approach them with a problem individually. Most classes you would not find the professors teaching but the tutors of that subject. So my experience with tutors are 50-50. Some teach very well. Others are clueless just as others. Regarding my course, apart from the core subjects, the specializations are really interesting and are mostly hands on. So if you're interested in Mechatronics, Product Development, Material sciences this course would be perfect for you. Racism against Indians exists everywhere, and nowadays it has increased a lot and you can visibly see people acting ignorant. But that's just some ignorant foreigners living in Germany. I find Germans very friendly and helpful here. And the country is perfect.
Likes (Public transportation): Compared to all the other places I've visited around Germany, Hamburg has really good transportation. If you miss out the last train you need not worry as there are night buses available to every corner of the city. For students, if you live near the university say places like Harburg, Heimfeld and Eiu00dfendorf, you would be a bus away from the university and can reach in 10-15 minutes. There are bus stop in front of the university itself. With your semester fees, Deutschland ticket is included, which is unlimited tickets for public and regional transportation. So you can easily travel around Germany for that. If not a student, one way city train tickets would cost you around 3 euros and as far as I am aware, it's cheaper if you buy online. Deutschland tickets it's a monthly subscription, and you will have to pay around 60 euros every month from next year ( only if you're not a student). If you don't want to pay much, there's still an unlimited ticket for within the city which is much lesser than Deutschland ticket. However, it will only work for Hamburg.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): As far as I am aware, you do not need sponsorship for a work visa. It's affordable. As long as you can have a job contract in hand, you can obtain a work visa. M.Sc. focuses on material Science and business administration. You can either get into research or roles as a project manager, performance management team, supply chain and logistics. Hamburg, being a port city itself, has a lot of options for supply chain, logistics, maritime. If you've come here with no experience, it's much easier to get into part time jobs, but not full time as you would need more experience and junior roles are not much. But with experience, part time is slightly difficult as you'll be over qualified. Then again it's not impossible, bigger companies would accept applications.

Best of both worlds, academics and fun.
Tips: This is an academically oriented university, a lot of focus is on research. Do not take studies lightly. There are many scholarships offered on the campus apart from DAAD. The stipend you receive varies based on the scholarship. The range is between 300-500 euros for 6 to 12 months. I'm very satisfied with the course and my University. Very happy with my German academic experience.
Likes (Part time work): The campus is big enough giving you ample place to organize meetings for study or group meetings. The A building is accessible until late midnight and also through the night for common study room. Many events are organized in TU. Sommerfest is something everyone looks forward to every year. There are always some conference or institution events that are ongoing, where you can grab currywurst or a beer. We have the ISA, the Indian Students Association, that looks after the well being of Indian students on campus, right from their admission through graduation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The professors are really nice and approachable. But you have to take appointments in due time. Many courses offer PBL problem based learning which allows you to apply what you have learnt in class to real life problems. Majority of professors are German with a few professors of other nationalities.

Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is a decent university.
Tips: The university campus is well connected and very convenient.
There is a good availability of research and project opportunities as well as some merit based scholarships.
Part time jobs are also available in the area to support financially.
I am greatly satisfied with my course.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Excellent faculty and class options including a good range of specialization options.
Opportunities to work under professors on projects and gain lab experience.
Classes include lectures as well as project or lab components for hand-on experience.
Faculties are very supportive and provides lots of opportunities for students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): A range of restaurants are available close to the university as well as in the main city. A good combination of Indian food as well as international food is available.
Some restaurants and shops provide student offers on particular dates.
I generally used to cook food at home most of the time, as it is cheaper and much healthier.
The university campus also includes a canteen with subsidized prize for the students.

A place to grow, learn, and thrive.
Tips: The University is located in Harburg, well connected by Bus/Sbahn. You can follow the AStA page and TUHH page on Instagram to get updates on weekly events. There are a lot of freshers orientation and support events on campus. There is an accommodation office which can help you with accommodation. Make sure you also apply to the studentenwerk accommodation application.
Likes (Public transportation): Everything is covered in your student ID. Bus, tram, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, ferry. With the student ID, you can travel without worrying about buying a ticket! Just flash that ID and you're good to go. Seriously, makes life so much easier, especially when you're running late for class. Plus, think of all the money you save. Free rides all semester long can't beat that.

A young TU that is searching its path towards excellence.
Tips: There is a dedicated Indian Students Association that is looking forward to help Indian students arriving to Germany. In comparison to Indian lectures, things are much different here and you should put it more effort to get things done. Do not expect any spoonfeeding as you will have to learn to get most of the things done by yourself.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity to different parts of the city is truly amazing couldn't have asked for better connectivity. There are a variety of them, buses usually cover most of the street while the S-bahns take from one end to the other end of the city and U bahn are within city limits thereby offering multiple connectivity. Trains are operation between 4:00 am to 1:00 am the next day while buses operate 24*7 in major cities.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): A lot of the studies happens just by reading the slides, only few faculty are really dedicated towards our course. Things could have been better, and following our feedback, starting 2025 the course has gotten better. We faced issues with the course not being offered in our case, but the new curriculum has taken care of this issue.

Tips: There was a cultural shift from being more detail oriented in learning a concept, German culture and food. I did not avail any scholarships but we do have scholarships for good performers from the university and can also apply for DAAD scholarships. We get the flexibility to plan our day and also choose courses we like.
Likes (Public transportation): The transport ticket is included in the university fee therefore no hassel in buying tickets and the city is well connected by buses and trains so it is easier to travel. We also have Deutschland ticket for regional trains. It gives us the opportunity to explore places around.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The post study jobs are much easier for students with German language skills. Job roles include Automation Engineer, Software Engineer, Security Analyst. Salary packages generally offered around 45,000 to 50,000 euros for a fresh graduate. There are pretty large companies in Hamburg like Airbus, Nordex, Siemens, Adobe.

Tips: I am a working student now. I struggled in the initial days but there is always a chance if you are aware and consistent in whatever you are doing, just analyse the surroundings and react according, and you will have what you should have at the end of the day.
Likes (Public transportation): Everything is super convenient and easy to get. In return, you can have this app HVV in Hamburg, which would guide you in many ways, and the delays are also updated there on the app in no time, so that you won't miss any important connection and be there on time you should be.
Dislikes (Internships): Many available chances and the engagement is super flexible with the big companies. You have to be confident enough to go talk to any person and make a good impression and the effect will help you to gain the most success in a very short amount of time.

IGC Hochschule Bremen review by an ex corporate employee from India.
Tips: I have started being very punctual after coming to Germany. People respect the value of time, and everyone is 15 to 10 minutes early for every appointment. Also, people do not prefer cloud tonality, and they also maintain rules here. I did not have any scholarship; I used my savings for my MBA here. I am satisfied with my course here, although sometimes when teachers took full online courses without any presence, that felt really unfair because I was sitting here paying my full rent. I am satisfied with Germany; it's really safe for girls and a country of rules that I absolutely look up to. But one thing that bugs me is that starting to learn the language becomes the main point of study here. Even if your course is in English and the job you want does not require German skills at its finest, people are reluctant to give jobs on the basis of work skills alone. If you know the language thoroughly, the job is yours. I understand that language is required for cultural integration, but for that, basic skills are enough. Not always; you require a C1 level in desk jobs.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Bremen is extremely good. The trains and buses are really punctual, and the connectivity is well maintained. I have been provided with a Deutschland ticket by my university, so transportation is free for me. The contribution is included in my semester feelings.
Dislikes (Part time work): I really didn't see any part-time job options on campus. I got a part-time job at a coffee shop as a cashier. But due to the large amount of student intake, even finding that job took me almost four months. A part-time job here is manageable with 2 to 3 days of work in a week. You can get 800€ to 1200€ a month on a 20 hr/week shift. During semester break, you can work for 40 hours a week.

A practical and internationally focused shipping course in good city
Tips: Students should know that the program has a strong international and practical focus, but it also requires independent study and active participation. Moving to Bremen involved adjusting to a quieter lifestyle, German paperwork, and a different academic system. I did not personally receive a scholarship, so students should research funding options early. Overall, I am satisfied with Hochschule Bremen and the Shipping and Catering course, although learning German is very important for internships, part-time work, and everyday life.
Likes (Post study jobs): I rated post-study jobs 5 because Bremen and northern Germany have strong shipping and logistics industries. Graduates can apply for roles in catering, ship brokerage, freight forwarding, port agencies, transport insurance, import and export, and logistics operations. Starting salaries are generally around €40,000 to €50,000 gross per year, depending on the role and company. Larger international employers also hire non-EU graduates, although German skills and practical experience improve the chances significantly.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated part-time work 1 because course-related student jobs in shipping and chartering are not very easy to find, especially without German or previous experience. On-campus positions are limited, while off-campus opportunities are mainly in logistics companies, warehouses, port operations, and offices. Work is manageable with flexible hours, but balancing it with classes can be difficult. Basic jobs usually pay around 13.90 to 16 Euros per hour, while relevant working student roles may pay more.

Tips: High cultural shift, with major ones being food habits and weather. No scholarships availed. Moderately satisfied with university academics. It would be better if there were on-campus German classes and a part of the course. There are no German classes on campus, so I need external help.
Likes (Public transportation): Very well connected to the rest of the city with various means of transportation. The buses' and trams' frequency is also very high, so you don't have to wait long hours either. Public transportation is completely free with the semester ticket from the university, which is included with the semester fees.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are limited. Off-campus jobs are there if you know German. It is very hard to find English-speaking jobs or other werkstudent jobs if there are no referrals and guidance. Odd jobs are there with minimal German skills, but that's also going to be limited in the coming days.

I had a good experience. The faculty, staff everybody was supportive in my case.
Tips: Studying at Hochschule Bremen has been a solid choice, mainly because of how global the student body is. Being in classes with people from all over the world really sharpens your communication and teamwork skills. The professors actually know their stuff and are always open to answering questions, plus the admin staff makes the onboarding process pretty smooth for international students.
Because HSB is a public university, you're getting great value, and the facilities on campus are well kept. The main downside is that because the program is so international, you end up in a bit of a bubble—it's actually pretty tough to mix with local German students or get deep into the local culture. Overall though, if you want good academic support and strong international exposure, it delivers.

Choose the way how you want to study.
Tips: At the University of Applied Sciences Bremen, we have a practical approach to education rather than only theoretical studies. University focuses on how you can do it correctly rather than what the traditional way of doing it is. You have plenty of options to do your own research. I am satisfied with my choice to do my master's degree from this university and have gotten a new perspective on life.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is very affordable because when you are registered in any university, you make a compulsory semester contribution, and from that semester contribution, you get the Deutschland ticket, using which you can travel anywhere in Germany using regional trains and city public transport.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no ready-to-eat options for Indian students, but there are plenty of stores that are Indian-pantry friendly and near Bremen Central Station. After all this you can also find a lot of Indian restaurants in Bremen, but it costs approx 20€ per meal, which is approximately 1/4 of your monthly grocery budget.

A Balanced Experience of Learning, Diversity, and Development
Tips: If you're heading to Hochschule Bremen, you seriously need to brace yourself for how fast things move. HSB is a university of applied sciences, so it’s not just about memorizing theory—it’s heavily packed with hands-on group projects, lab work, and tight deadlines. You have to be incredibly organized and ready to teach yourself a lot of the material on the fly, because the expectations here are a world away from high school. It definitely pays to dive into your specific module handbooks and get a feel for the Neustadt campus layout before your first day.
My own transition was a massive mix of excitement and total panic. At first, the cultural shift hit me hard—especially trying to figure out the direct German communication style, managing my own life completely independently, and dealing with the academic pressure. Honestly, I only adapted by forcing myself out of my comfort zone, hanging out at Café International to meet people, and building a strict daily routine that kept me from drowning in the coursework.

Pretty much it's a ticket to EU
Tips: They should be aware that language has a key role to play if you are coming to Germany; that's very important. How they teach you here is different; most of you will be so involved that mostly you will learn about any topic yourself, and faculty will be there to guide you.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Well-experienced faculty will guide you, and most importantly, they are accessible to each one. They don't spoon-feed everything, and you have to find your own way to finish the project or assignment. No doubt your professor will always be there to help you. Research about everything is a key aspect of doing any assignment here.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Well, you won't find a street as common as in India; I prefer cooking myself, as it saves money and you can cook your beloved food. There are not so many good restaurants; Indian food outside is also quite expensive, and you will end up spending a lot outside. It is always better to cook at home.

Engaging and fun student life.
Tips: Learning the German language is better for finding a job. Scholarships are rare. It’s hard to find. I am really satisfied with the classes. Most of the classes would be offline, but some are online. It's not stressful, and the exam concepts were less at my university. Mostly, it would be presentations.

A perfect foot hold to enter Germany and begin your journey in the EU culture.
Tips: I chose to be part of the culture of Germany/EU, and of course, there is a cultural shift from polychronic to a monochronic culture. This is a good thing. Embrace, learn and enjoy this culture and it will help you, in turn, appreciate your home culture as well.
There are a few scholarships available from DAAD, a loan, also a 500 Euro recommendation gift for joining the college.
The university is located in Bremen, which is a relatively small town and much cheaper than the big cities. Jobs have to be applied online so starting from Bremen was the best. The university and course were decent. Nothing exceptional but a good basic MBA. Language is the only barrier to setting up in Germany.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Teaching and faculty are good. That was the best part of college. The teaching was less theoretical and mostly practical. There were group assignments and presentations. You as a student, won't feel any discrimination or biases of any kind.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university itself does not help arrange any interviews, meet-ups, or company placements. You need German language fluency if you want to apply for jobs and internships. (only IT jobs available in English). You do not need a sponsor visa via this route of doing studies and then working. You just need to find a job in your field. Salary packages are capped by the government. Minimum after an MBA is 45,000/annum Euro. Usually, 55,000 - 80,000 is offered, besides perks. Language is the only barrier.

Not fully satisfied, but manageable seeing the current situation and market.
Tips: There were lots of things to adjust. It took time but it was good. Received also scholarship. Keeping up without funding and learning German is hard. I am satisfied with the course but it was stressful to keep up and without support, it is really hard. Not primarily focused on your future but just related to study.

A grand German adventure in a quaint student town.
Tips: The culture shock that you will get is only initially. But once you find friends, it’s very easy going and you will love the quaint town of Bremen. You might find loads of part time opportunities. Scholarships are difficult but you can definitely apply for them. I was very satisfied because I got great faculty, amazing friends and an internationally recognised degree. So all the best.
Likes (Post study jobs): You will get all the help from the faculty, the alumni and the students who are already working as Werkstudent (student work). Sponsored visas, well, not so many nowadays as there is a language barrier for full time jobs. Starting packages can vary based on your experience and job role. But on average, it’s between 40,000 - 50,000 euros for maybe developers. It can go even higher if you get selected in R&D.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food in restaurants are quite expensive. It will be better to buy stuff or ingredients from Indian stores and cook for yourself. It will be cheaper and taste better.

Best public university for students.
Tips: Well trained faculty plus less fees compared to other universities. The university has organised all events and supported getting internships. The campus is good and well maintained. The culture and atmosphere were really nice.
Likes (Part time work): Good campus and safe for students. Culture and atmosphere are good for students who want to study and meet new people. Life was really good for students to create events or other social and cultural activities. All other facilities are available to read and study and get information.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Well trained and practical oriented staff available. We got all the materials to read and learn. We got assignments or notes to solve and study about subject. We got individual support for exams and gave every other support to graduate and get a good job.

Don't just come as a student but come with the mindset of building a better lifestyle.
Tips: Apply for student accommodation at least 6 months to 1 year before. Do city registration, pay bills on time. Start learning a language from India, even though the courses are in English but anyway, you have to learn a language for jobs so be ready to explore once you arrive. Don't just sit in your room. Explore the city, meet people. Expect to do a lot of things by yourself like applying for jobs when arriving here in the first month, dont wait to finish your classes and then apply. Scholarship is based on an early bird discount. University is good and very international. Later scholarship for your expenses is also available in Bremen when you do your thesis, which is around 300 per month.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Chances of permanent settlement are good if you have a good job in this country and the process is easy, though a bit lengthy, only if you don't have proper documentation, like a German language Certificate. I would settle permanently here. Most people think they get exactly what they have in India. You have to do everything by yourself. Accept people will be straightforward, not because they are rude but because they dont know how to butter. Bureaucracy is slow but PR is easy if you accept this reality as well. This is not limited to documentation.
Dislikes (Value for money): The MBA programme is highly practical with a strong focus on case studies, field trips, and presentations. However, the tuition fee is relatively high compared to the actual value delivered. As each modules complete in one or 2 weeks. Lots of work you need to do by yourself. Research, assignment. Professors are helpful but some take time to reply. But this university is still better in terms of money than other private universities. First of all this is a public institution affiliated with Hochschule Bremen. So with tuition fees, you can see a lot of things are also there in the city with students.

Bremen is a small city, well connected and extremely punctual.
Tips: This acts as a good gateway to your career in Europe because it's a public university, but if you really need quality studies, maybe this might not be the first option. But as per the tuition fee and cost of living, it is really worth it, because other universities charge way more than this. The professors are helping, but the only thing is that you need to talk and be kind of pushy to be helpful with the opportunities outside. The university also gives a mandatory certificate, which makes it a bit easier to get internships, as the tax for the compulsory internships is very minimal and even the hours do not count.
Likes (Public transportation): Bremen is a small city, well connected and extremely punctual. The frequency of the buses and trams is also better than in other cities I have lived in.
Many times I had to go home late from the city Centre and there was at least a bus every one hour.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It took me a while to understand the job market. Even though I did not get direct help from the University, talking to a lot of seniors and pass-outs helped me and made me realise that knowing many people is really important here. There is no such thing as placements.
There is, of course, a career guide department that helps you work on the CV, attend interviews in a different cultural communication style.
I really think if you network efficiently, there is scope; if you do not put those efforts, it is a bit complicated to get the desired job.

Practical exposure and nice learning environment.
Tips: It's very important to be dynamic and adjust if you are moving to another country. Do respect the culture and people of you want to learn and network. I have availed a DAAD scholarship which of 1000 euros, as I was very active in college and associated with NGOs helping international students.
Likes (Public transportation): There are trams everywhere and it is well connected to different parts of the city. Also, there is an option of travelling by buses and trains. The good part is that with a semester ticket, provided by the university, all these public transport and even the local library are accessible and free.
Dislikes (Student Life): Bremen is a small city and there are less option for socialising. So, for better vibes, nearby cities like Hamburg are better. I used to travel a lot to different cities. During college days, I used to visit cultural functions organised by different countries on a weekly basis. I also joined a local event group for language improvement.

Ideal for anyone who is willing to work smart and hard.
Tips: Be ready for a massive cultural shift and for a super busy schedule. You would have to do your research and keep yourself updated with everything as nothing will be given to you. In the end your ROI depends on how much hard work and smart-work your are able to pull off. College offers brilliant infra and ecosystem. You just have to ensure that you make the best use of all the facilities and options.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Super approachable and always responds over email and for a quick chat post class. Teaching methods are quite modern, interactive and based on a practical approach. We had over 20+ nationalities in our class, making each and every discussion broader and more diverse.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no guidance as such. There are general seminars but you have to pick what best works for you and use your own research and then implement as per your requirements. Availability depends on which location you are looking at. Bremen has limited options but Hamburg and other major cities offer quite a lot of options.

A practical and realistic experience.
Tips: If you want to do part time job or any local communication, German is a must. Make your every document clear. In this university faculty will not teach you from scratch. You need to do self study for the concept or at least you should know the basic concept from the Bachelor's.

A peaceful and cozy life in Germany.
Tips: Students should be ready to go to classes, manage to find a part-time job, study the German language, and search for internships before they complete the course. I have extended my subject so that I can manage my language learning skills, part-time work, and the course. At least two semesters of the course will cover the fundamentals of German. During this time, you can start preparing for finding an internship.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is usually on time in Bremen because it’s a well-organised city. There are also plenty of buses and trams, so you can usually get to your destination within ten minutes. In addition, there’s a transportation service every 30 minutes in the early morning and late at night.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I don't think there are many big companies near Bremen or in Bremen. Usually, in the south of Germany, we have many big MNCs or industries compared to the north. If I wanted a good job, then I think I would move to another city in the south for better opportunities.

A short & sweet experience
Tips: This university has mostly Indian students which is good and bad at the same time! But overall, the course is very short and sweet. So you'll never know by the time it ends. The program is mostly practical rather than theoretical, so it's fun to learn. Get clarity on your specialization in the very beginning, because there's always some ambiguity with it.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport and connectivity is one of the best in Germany. There is a tram station right in front of the campus. The campus is centrally located and takes only 10 mins from the Hauptbahnhof. If you're a party geek, then know that the trams run all night!
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university promotes and informs about job fairs, but getting an opportunity for full time jobs without German language is not easy! They organise company visits but in the end, it all comes down to the language. It's not hard to get a job in Germany, but quite hard in Bremen.

Good university with a good curriculum and teaching staff.
Tips: Learning a language is important. A student can experience cultural shock at the start. In Germany, there is no on campus recruitments like other countries. So the student has to proactively figure out things about internships, part time work, after study jobs, etc. Without language, part time jobs/internships are very difficult to get.
Likes (Public transportation): Student ticket included in fees; valid for the city region. With a student ticket one can use any mode of transportation free of cost for almost the entire region. Well-connected, safe network around the clock. Student concession for transportation.
