Master of Science in Physics - Batch of 2025
4.3
The cities are quite safe and friendly in Germany.
Tips: There are plenty of difference cultural, however it is not vast in the big cities. The BCGS scholarship is the best for Physics students coming to Bonn and Cologne. I am quite satisfied with the course and in general, I like Germany as well however finding full time jobs in 2026 is not easy. You should be aware of this.
Likes (Safety): In Germany the cities are quite safe and friendly, and the campus is open; in fact you can choose to go sit in any given class. Outside the university, most of the time it is safe, but in big cities like every part of the world, there are pretty crimes. I felt safe for the most part.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships is something that the college may help with only a little, as there is no placement cell, etc. However, there are possibilities to look for internships through friends and referrals, which is the best case scenario, and always try looking for connections.

Master of Science (MSc) in Sociology in Social Research - Batch of 2021
3.6
University of Cologne is academically oriented.
Tips: Germans are very cold and serious. I didn't have any scholarship. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my experience. Job market in Germany is good, but not for non German speakers. Professors and the university staff are usually very friendly and polite. It is better to learn German to better fit into the society.
Likes (Value for money): As it is super cheap compared to British or Irish or USA universities. German universities cost around 1k or 2k per year only. So it is great for value for money. However, not speaking Germany is hard for finding a job and living in Germany. Therefore up to you.
Dislikes (Part time work): Unfortunately I joined during covid so we could not experience part time work or seminars, or any online activities. We did not have the opportunity to experience ordinary student life due to the pandemic. But maybe now it should be better. Most of our classes were offline.

Bachelor of Education in Building Technology Vocational-Technical Education (In German) - Batch of 2026
Offered by Technische Universitt Darmstadt
4.4
The university has a focus on academic research and has strict scientific standards.
Tips: The university has a focus on academic research and has strict scientific standards. The Bachelor's degree programmes require a B2-C1 level of German language to understand the course material. The University offers student jobs in many departments for students to work part-time in research with professors. I am fully satisfied with the course and the country.
Likes (Student Life): Usually there are at least 1-2 seminars or lectures in a day on campus and after attending those, one can also go to the library with other students. The city provides an abundance of opportunities to spend quality time with friends in the city and rooms to study in the library, as well as many intercultural events to network with other students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are restaurants from several different countries, including Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Oriental restaurants. As a student the prices at restaurants do not make it possible to eat out regularly, however the University Campus has its own canteen where students can eat food at a discounted price. I usually prefer to cook by myself.

Master of Science in Materials Science - Batch of 2023
Offered by Technische Universitt Darmstadt
4.2
Academically renowned and internationally friendly.
Tips: Culturally, especially for Indian students, it is not a huge shift, given the number of students from India. Naturally, learning German will help, but as a city, Darmstadt is immigrant-friendly. As for scholarships, you can apply for some from the university and from the EU directly.
Likes (Public transportation): The Stadtmitte campus, along with the Lichtwiese campus, is very well connected by trams and buses. Especially as a student, it is compulsory to take a public transport ticket for each semester, making it all the more reason to use it whenever possible.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There were not many Indian restaurants, especially ones with good quality. The ones available were rumoured to have really unhealthy kitchens. And also, I prefer to cook for myself. Indian groceries were always available, though, making it easier for me.

Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2026
Offered by Technische Universitt Darmstadt
3.7
Research driven education.
Tips: As an international student, the transition to TU Darmstadt was a mix of excitement and adjustment. The biggest shift was adapting to Germany’s independent study culture and its more structured, punctual lifestyle. Although the cultural change felt challenging at first the international community made it smoother. TU Darmstadt also offers university stipends, and the overall cost of studying is low the Aerospace Engineering course costs only around 300-350 per semester, which even includes public transportation. For living expenses, there are both technical and non-technical student jobs that help cover monthly costs. Academically, the university and the country are above average, with strong academic standards, solid support, and a well-structured aerospace program that is practical, research-oriented, and rich in opportunities in areas like aerodynamics and flight systems.
