MSc in Control Microsystems and Microelectronics - Batch of 2027
3.9
Do steady research about the course that you would wish to join.
Tips: Do steady research about the course that you would wish to join. Preferably, connect to the present students of your stream of choice on LinkedIn. Get a clear idea about the opportunities post the completion of your study, plus some advice as and when you need. Getting into a university abroad is not rocket Science, but surviving through it might feel like one. So, better be prepared for the cultural socks and all the socks of your life. It's surprisingly interesting as well.
Likes (Value for money): If you can manage to get into a public university, then the tuition feels are 0 for most states, except for some that charge a tuition fee of 1500 euros. You can easily ramp up your total living cost working some part time job, even 14-15 hours of work a week can get you around 800-850 euros, which is enough for rent, food, insurance money and some miscellaneous expenses. Plus, you get a Deutschlandticket for the semester fee that you pay, which makes all your daily travel free of cost, except when you are traveling by air or ICE.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very few Indian stores and restaurants and they are all quite expensive for a student. The only option that you have for Indian food is to cook it at home. If you have a lot of money, then you can obviously go ahead for a good Indian lunch. And of course, if you can find a Gurudwara in your city, then you can grab some free Indian food now and then.

A good experience at Uni Bremen.
Tips: There is a huge cultural shock. It is difficult to cope in the beginning. The quality of education is very different from that in India. They don't teach a lot of things here, but they go in depth. There is no micro-management. I am very grateful for this opportunity.

Germany is a good option only if you know German very well.
Tips: The transition to studying at the University of Bremen is difficult, but knowing the German language is key. If you want to fit in, try to make friends with other international students and communicate with them in German. This will boost your confidence. I received no scholarships from the government. As a public university, the school is good, but you have to manage your own expenses. Germany is a good option only if you know German very well. If you want to spend 10 years in Germany, go for a Bachelor’s degree there. But if you want to come back to India, go for a Master’s degree at one of the top 5 universities in English. You can definitely get a job if you study hard. There are a lot of computer science jobs available in Bremen.
Likes (Internships): It's easy to get internships after graduation. You get the option quickly. But, they are sometimes part time and don't pay. However, they're good for experience and knowledge. There are also a lot of computer science jobs available in Bremen, Hamburg, or Berlin after you graduate.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not a lot of Indian restaurants in the Bremen area, and what’s available doesn’t serve any authentic Indian food. I did see some Indian food options at city festivals, though. Berlin, on the other hand, has a lot of Indian restaurants. However, I prefer cooking my own meals. It is a more budget-friendly option. I typically eat boiled potatoes. And be warned, some of the food you get there, like burgers, contains beef. So, be careful if you are vegan.

Master of Science in Electromobility - Batch of 2026

4.4
Decent college. But going for TUs is advisable. Also should come with some professional experience.
Tips: The course lets you specialize in the field of your choice. It's very flexible. Machine Learning is very popular at FAU. Also they are good at Robotics. If these are your areas of interest, joining the course would be recommended. These topics have lots of research and work opportunities within the university.
Likes (Indian Food): There are really good Indian restaurants available, and also Indian stores are there. The pricing is decent. A meal will cost you between 15 to 20 euros per person. I prefer cooking at home, like most of the students. All the groceries that you need are available at the supermarket or Indian stores.
Dislikes (Internships): It is really competitive and not so many internships are available as there are many students. There are a few big companies in the area, but they prefer students with work experience. Also German Language is highly desired by recruiters. Not much guidance is available. They are relevant to the course.

University is known for its best research across Germany.
Tips: The cultural shift is very important in Germany. You have to accept what they are doing and follow the rules and regulations properly. I haven't applied for any scholarship yet as I am managing my expenses through my part time job and I am satisfied with the university's work ethic and supportiveness.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day in lectures or the library at the university. Many seminars, which are important for post study jobs and innovation, are organised in the university but I prefer online seminars only which are available in English. I am not currently involved in any community or student club but if one wants then there are clubs available for it.
Dislikes (Part time work): Currently, part-time jobs are hard to get as there is are many of competition for them but after getting one, you can get around 12.80 euros - 14.53 euros per hour as per the job field. Jobs are easily manageable as you have to set availability 1 week ago and if you have lectures, you can set availability for the evening or else you can leave that spot for others who are free at that time.

Very academic oriented, but not so happening socially.
Tips: The quality of education is very good. You get maximum depth in any subject you choose to study. Professors and tutors are helpful and friendly, as per my experience. Assignments are not so easy, but really helps to enhance our knowledge. Totally, a simple and easy going university.

FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is generally well-regarded.
Tips: Before joining FAU Erlangen, students should priorities applying for necessary visas or residence permits, securing accommodation in or around Erlangen and understanding the cost of living and financing their studies. They should also familiarise themselves with the semester date and be prepared for the language requirements of their chosen degree programme as German is the primary teaching language at FAU. International students need to apply for the appropriate visa or residence permit for Germany and ensure they understand the regulations for their home country. Find accommodation in Erlangen or the surrounding area. FAU offers a service to help find housing, and students can also look for private rentals. Research the cost of living in Erlangen and explore ways to finance their studies, including scholarships and student loan. Be aware that German is the primary teaching language at FAU, and some degree programs may have specific English language requirements. Familiarise yourself with the semester date at FAU, as they determined when classes start and end. Attend introductory events and pre-semester courses for your degree programme, and familiarise yourself with the support services offered by FAU. Understand the enrollment process, including re-registration for each semester and registration for examinations. Utilise the Student Advice Centre for guidance and support throughout your studies.
Likes (Post study jobs): At the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), job roles range from research and teaching positions to IT, administration and facility management. Salary packages vary significantly based on the position and experience, with some roles offering annual salaries in the range of 46,000 to 1,10,000 others like Associate Professors, may earn up to 1,53,092 per year.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Nowadays cafes and restaurants are everywhere, and a lot of people like to eat there. But other people prefer to stay at home and cook for themselves, and I am one of them. I am sure cooking at home is much better than eating out. Firstly it is safe. If we eat in a restaurant or a cafe, we do not know exactly how the meal has been cooked. We cannot see the cooking process and what products the meal was made of. Secondly eating at home is cheaper. All we need is to buy ingredients for the dish. Moreover, the cooking process is really interesting and exciting. On the other hand, some people claim that eating out is more suitable for busy people who do not have enough time to cook at home. It makes sense, but usually cooking a meal does not take much time. Many dishes can be made in half an hour. Furthermore, I think that if a person wants to eat healthy food, he or she must be ready to spend some time cooking at home. Health is much more important than career or business.

The faculty are welcoming and our university has many research-oriented jobs.
Tips: From 2024 onwards, the recession significantly decreased part-time and full-time opportunities, especially in the Automotive domain. Universities have many research-oriented jobs, which are called HIWI, and Erlangen has Schaeffler, Siemens, Adidas, and PUMA companies. The average salary is 12-13 euros per hour which is the minimum wage for internships, for working student jobs it is somewhere between 17-21 euros per hour depending on the company. I did not avail of any scholarships and with an educational loan, I did my blocked account and was able to pay it back in 2 years with my part-time job. Since ours was the first batch I would say I am not completely satisfied with the course however it's improved now. Everyone will experience a different environment and cultural difference.
Likes (Public transportation): With the Deutschland ticket, which is 58 euros per month, with a student discount, I pay 29 euros per month, and it covers almost all kinds of transportation except the ICE, NightJets, and other High-speed trains across Germany. The bus connections across Erlangen and to the university are very good.

Friedrich Alexander University is a wonderful place to study, engage in college activities.
Tips: Before my master's education, I worked at Reliance Industries Limited as an Electrical Reliability Engineer, which provided me with valuable insights into the nuances of Electrical Engineering. Availability of scholarships was difficult since I didn't know about the opportunities. At present, I feel content with my university choice.
Likes (Value for money): Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen is a public University where the semester contribution is nominal, as per the German Education System. The quality of study is excellent and hence the semester contribution is justified. The reason for selecting 5 for value for money is the ratio of educational quality to semester contribution is very high.
Dislikes (Part time work): It has been three months since I joined the university. The current focus area is on studying the concepts and securing excellent grades by grabbing the learning opportunities. The quality of study is excellent at Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen.

Overall good university.
Tips: It’s a research-oriented university. Erlangen is quite an expensive city and finding accommodation is really tough.
It gets quite cold in winter. Finding a work or part time job is not that difficult, so if you intend to do part-time job it’s manageable to live with these expenses.

Great research opportunities
Tips: Visa process and course content for which they are applying and the desired course should cover prerequisites of the course. Always check course requirements. Apply to the university as soon as possible if you want admission. Immediately start looking for accommodation once accepted.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Easy PR process. Minimum 2 years of tax contribution required. After completion of study 18 month work visa can be provided. The salary for post graduate student after completion of course is high. Lower unemployment rate and wide opportunity for professional career.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not enough Indian origin food options in city. There are 2-3 Indian restaurants which provide all types of Indian food but the price is high. Instead of eating outside, I prefer cooking by myself. Egg is almost in every grocery we buy. So less options for vegans and vegetarians.

Just be prepared for Germany.
Tips: If you are coming for a bachelor's be prepared to do hard work and match the level of German students. You will be taught a+b and you will be asked a^3+b^3 in the exam. It is hard to pass the exams without studying so you have to quit the job at the time of the exam.
