Student experience and transition Q&A
Tips: Before coming here, the most important thing is to realise how much independence is expected of you! Nobody is going to chase you for assignments or remind you to study, so learning to manage your time is incredibly valuable. Adapting to open, discussion-based classrooms took a while to get adapted. But joining campus clubs and societies made it easier. I did not get any scholarships. I am extremely glad I came here. Practical courses, strong campus resources, and living abroad have made it completely worth it.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty were excellent. The support offered was also really good. The core subjects faculty are very knowledgeable, and you have to reach out to them to form a connection. Once you start putting yourself out there, the faculty will notice and share any lab-related or PhD opportunities with the students.
Dislikes (Internships): There are very few internship opportunities for MSc students. These are well suited for undergrads. Most of the opportunities posted are often restricted by visa status and quite varied in terms of what is taught and what’s practical. I would say there are very limited internship opportunities, and this is not dependent on the university. Like in India, nobody at uni is going to help you find opportunities, students are expected to attend job fairs and apply on their own. They have to search for opportunities on their own.

Great university for research and sciences + a strong, inclusive and friendly student body to pair!
Tips: There's plenty of local support available from the indian communities, additional student groups strongly represent various interests and needs of the international student body. As for professional development, graduate roles open at the start of your term, and it is strongly recommended that you start applying to various graduate programmes as soon as your official term begins.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very accessible, and the university has provided several facilities for the benefit of the students, in the event that the instructors themselves do not suffice. The mode of instruction is very much based on cases, and the assignments are very much educative. Sometimes, the tutorials are taken by the teaching assistants (Ph.D. students), who help explain the subject more clearly, and such classes are important for the understanding of the subject as desired by the instructor. The teaching faculty is highly diverse in terms of their experience and nationalities.
Dislikes (Internships): There's not much guidance available, but there is an excellent peer-led career team at the university that can help you with every part of your application and interview process. Also, given the Visa restrictions concerning university attendance and work availability, there's a narrow list of options for internships.

An Ancient, Wonderful University; The University of Glasgow
Tips: You should be completely certain about what you want to do before applying to this university. If you are looking for a job in the UK, I would advise you to study a vocational degree. Do not study Computer Engineering/Science. Due to recent trends and the development of GenAI/Agentic AI, the need for junior developers has decreased. For people who have studied Computer Science, I would advise you to study Data Science/Analysis/Cloud Computing. AI companies are constantly in need of Data Scientists, and there certainly is a great demand for it. If you have a good grip on programming languages, a few years of work experience from India, and perhaps a few courses on AI from Coursera or IBM, you would look highly employable. For those who have done a B.BA/B. Comm, I would recommend getting into specialized degrees. If you choose to do an MBA, that's great, but degrees that are a bit more specific, like Human Resource Management, International Business Relations, Finance, Supply Chain Management, etc. Would be great too. But make sure that you have work experience before coming to the UK because there are lots of people with MBAs, so there is more supply than demand. As for people from my own field, the Humanities, I would encourage you not to study degrees that look nice on paper. I know it feels good to study the subject you are good at, and believe me, I did it too, but there is not a large amount of opportunity for work in fields like these. For you, I would recommend studying Journalism, Marketing, and Media because these are vocational degrees which will increase your chances of getting a job. If you studied a degree like English Literature in your undergraduate studies, it will be easy for you to get a job as a content writer, Editor, marketing specialist, or Copywriter in India. You can use the work experience you obtained there along with a degree that directly supplements the skills. The most employable of these fields would be in marketing, so keep that in min
Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5/5 because, like most cities in the UK, transportation is quite good in Glasgow. There is a brilliant subway system (the Clockwork Orange) connect most of Central Glasgow to the University, and there are plenty of bus routes available as well. If you happen to be under 22 at the time you are coming to Scotland (not the UK, just Scotland), you can apply for a Young Scot Card, allowing you to travel on the bus for free until you turn 22. There is also ScotRail (the national railway), which has local stops all over the city, and the beautiful thing is, it connects other Scottish cities and British cities too!
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated it 2/5 because of how difficult it has currently become for international students to stay in the UK and work there. Essentially, it has become difficult to obtain a Skilled Worker visa and, consequently, the Indefinite Leave to Remain status. After finishing your degree, the UK does provide you with the option to apply for a Graduate Visa (Post Study Work visa), but that is the easiest of the Next hurdles you will have to face in order to get a proper job. Before anything, you must understand that a Graduate Visa is an investment of at least u00a33,000 (Rs. 3,87,666), not including rent, food, transport, etc. This visa provides a graduate some time to look for a job that sponsors you to stay. This is ESPECIALLY difficult for a candidate with no work experience. The company that provides a Skilled Worker visa to a graduate has to pay a sum of money every year to the government, and this is difficult for them to justify in the case of a person with no work experience. My advice to you is that you should pursue your undergraduate degree in India, get a job, and work there for 2-3 years before planning an educational trip to the UK. This will also give you some time to think about which line of work you actually want to do before making such a heavy investment in your education (it is about u00a335,000 for a year in a Master's degree). If you come to the UK with 1 undergraduate degree and 2-3 years of work experience under your belt, it will make you a far more attractive candidate for employers and heighten your chances of landing a sponsored job.

The Journey to the University of Glasgow
Tips: Upon arriving in Glasgow, I definitely took some time to acclimatise to the culture and traditions around here. But it didn't take much time to adapt and settle down after getting a sense of life here. The most asked question is the monthly budget apart from tuition fees, and I'd say it depends on how deep your pockets are. You can definitely penny-pinch to live in accommodation for lower rent and survive on the bare minimum, or do the opposite, but a good range would be around 1000-2000 pounds a month for your rent, shopping, travel, etc. As far as the university and the course, it's a wonderful Uni with a great history and heritage we are privileged to be a part of. A wonderful city filled with wonders and culture in every street.
Likes (Indian Food): Every other street in Glasgow has an Indian restaurant. And the quality of food in many of them resembles home food, leaving you nostalgic. Additionally, there are now restaurants that cater specifically to various cuisines within India and offer specialised food as well. Though I prefer to cook at home, I also enjoy occasionally splurging on a good Indian meal every now and then.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Although there could be a lot of opportunities for you after your master's degree, the competition is very high. Moreover, as an international student, you are facing some additional challenges while searching for jobs with visa sponsorship. Now, very few organizations are willing to fund students' education to get them into entry-level jobs. It might be worth it if you are going to take a master's course, but I cannot understand why you want to turn it into a job here.

A Cinematic Academic Haven: My Time at the University of Glasgow
Tips: Transitioning into UK culture comes with substantial culture shock, mainly when it comes to privacy and reduced sunshine during winter, which makes vitamin D supplements vital. Although I failed to secure any scholarships due to a late application, potential students must plan a year. All in all, embracing independence despite the initial loneliness is an exciting experience.
Likes (Student Life): In light of the wonderful neo-Gothic architecture, such as the building of Hogwarts Castle and the activities surrounding the university, the University of Glasgow features many cultural associations, which include Indian and Tamil associations. Not only do they study, but the students can also go to interesting places such as Byres Road, or they could even immerse themselves in the Scotch and Scottish pub culture. In the end, making an adventure out of it all makes life romantic.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Ultimately, success is dependent on the state of mind of the person involved. People who are committed to establishing a future for themselves in the country will go out of their way to try to stay in the country. It is, however, clear that a lot of luck comes into play, and immigration laws have become much stricter in recent times. In a very uncertain environment, those who manage to get their sponsorship will prove their worth.

life at university was amazing , slightly hectic but once you get a hang of it its smooth sailing
Tips: The city of Glasgow is a good place for studies, although, like any other place, it has both merits and demerits. The main merit of the city is that one can learn a lot from it and create many memorable moments, although on the other hand, it becomes very overwhelming to start with because one learns about the level of commitment required.
Likes (Student Life): Student life there is fantastic, you make lots of friends, companions for life, plus you learn about a different side of yourself that you never knew existed. Student life is easygoing apart from assignments, there are loads of offers one can use and redeem as a student to help save money as well.

Challenges and benefits of student life University of Glasgow ( quantum technology course)
Tips: Scottish people are really friendly, so it should be fine. Main thing I need to say that focus on studies because it's a prestigious university and have lot of classes and assignments are there for the course, those who tried to do part time have mostly had failure issues in their courses. So best course is to survive with loan money and then look for anything after course finishes. Case otherwise we close the aim what we came here. If it solely for part time it would be hard for you. Course is really good to be honest, but it's mostly related to hardware rather than quantum computing software side. But also you won't have much time to relax mostly we will be library and research. I applied for international scholarship which give 10000 pound discount on student feels which I got but please apply early as possible because it is limited.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is really good for my course, but do not expect teaching strategy will be similar to India and understanding of teaching is mid, because mostly it will be like professors show and teach current research we ourselves have to put effort on it to understand exactly what it is there. Also you will get opportunities to access lot of sources required for course which is enough.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): PR is currently really hard in UK as visa rules are getting tighter and tighter. Also even for job opportunities it's a tight situation. But if you are planning for Ph.D. research funding is mostly towards home students, still options are there. All these being said, opportunities are there but it requires experience .

Learning, Life and Everything In Between at UofG
Tips: What do students need to know before joining this college? Students need to be prepared to do self-study and manage their time effectively. The workload might be heavy, especially when approaching deadlines, but the university has good support when required. How did you adjust after joining here? Was there a culture change? It was quite an easy adjustment, even though it took some time to adapt to the weather conditions, new food and an overall different lifestyle. Glasgow is a multicultural city, so it was very easy to meet people from other countries. Do you have any scholarship? If yes, how did you get it and what is the stipend? I do not have any scholarship. How satisfied are you with your university, course and country? In general, I am quite satisfied with the University of Glasgow, the Data Science course and staying in the UK.
Likes (Part time work): Why have you rated 5 for Student Life? I have rated it 5 because something is happening outside the classrooms at all times. The campus is active, and there are many ways to make contacts and hang out with your mates. What do you do in the course of your day in college? What do you like most? Most of my time is devoted to attending lessons and working on assignments. In addition to that, I spend my time hanging out with friends, visiting the library, and exploring the campus. I like the social aspect of studying in university most. What kinds of events do they organise at your university? How often do you attend them? There are many different events held during the year, such as social, society, talks, sports and cultural events. I participate whenever I have an opportunity, especially in social and student events. What student clubs and communities are there on your campus? There are many societies and clubs devoted to sports, culture, music, games, technology, academic studies and many other things.
Dislikes (Internships): Why did you rate 5 on Quality of faculty? The faculty are knowledgeable and explain things clearly. They are also supportive and have good subject knowledge. How accessible and approachable is the faculty in your department? They are easy to approach and usually respond to questions. We can contact them through email or speak to them after classes. Share details about the teaching methodology that you find unique in your department. There is a good mix of lectures, practical work and coursework. We get to work with real datasets and apply what we learn instead of only studying theory. How diverse is the teaching faculty in terms of nationality? The faculty is quite diverse, with staff from different countries and backgrounds. This also gives the department a good international feel.

The golden era of UK has vanished - Don't come to University of Glasgow
Tips: The university doesn't provide any help regarding jobs; if you fail any subject, they don't even help you in resits. The University professors are busier with the undergraduates than they are invested in Postgraduate students. Try not to come to University of Glasgow.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is well connected in the city and the outskirts too. You can go to any place you want, as we travelled to a lot of places and liked them. The scenic views are beautiful around Glasgow; the only thing you will love about the city is its views.
Dislikes (Internships): University of Glasgow doesn't support students in finding jobs and even restrict to apply for Internships. I had an internship, and the University denied me access, saying that in a Master's course you can't do any internship unless it is given by my University.

excellent academics, with a huge international network
Tips: For someone from South Asia, it can be a massive cultural shock. Also, the Glaswegian accent is difficult to understand in your early days. I received the Chevening Scholarship, and I applied for it through their online portal. Overall, I would say it was a wholesome experience. The course, the university, and the city of Glasgow gave me the best memories.
Likes (Student Life): Apart from attending the usual classes, there are many seminars/workshops that you can attend to boost your network. Also, the library is awesome, students spend a lot of time there, especially during their research. There are different academic clubs, sports/adventure clubs, arts clubs, international communities, students support communities.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): As I returned to my country, I didn't really look for any options for permanent settlement there. However, there are a few friends who have had some decent opportunities to settle there. I personally would not permanently immigrate to this country, but would love to visit it often.

Offers a wide variety of courses for UG, PG, MRes and Phd.
Tips: Offers a wide variety of courses for UG, PG, MRes and PhD. The college campus is beautiful, and courses are structured according to your convenience (you get to choose your optional classes and timings). The city itself is beautiful. The university also has a lot of clubs you can be a part of. There are a lot of events organised by the student committee. Research your course carefully. Understand the course structure (which will be provided on the university website). There's a lot of help available from faculty and student committees. Don't hesitate to contact them. Contact alumni from your course to know better.
Likes (Internships): My course had a compulsory subject called 'Work Placement'. This course is an excellent addition to the degree and helped us gain field experience related to what we studied. The faculty would provide us with a list of companies/ngos that were in need of student interns, and we did the internship for a course of 4 months.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think if you're planning to do this course, an engineering or architecture background would be more helpful. The course was very well structured, and I have no complaints about it. But the job opportunities for the future would definitely require you to be from a technical background, rather than a non-technical one, which I am from. This is a personal opinion since I am not from an engineering background. For a student with a teaching background who wishes to learn towards sustainability or building public space, this is surely an amazing degree.

Glasgow is about its people
Tips: Glasgow is very friendly and quite open to people of all cultures. The University also offers scholarships for Indian students (like the Merit one and a few others). You can always apply for a lot of funding opportunities during your course as well. I was quite satisfied. I focused on the coursework during the year without any part-time hassle and ended up with a Distinction. I must say that the coursework during the year is highly technical and stressful, especially if you are in STEM. The quality of education and the requirement of independent study and work are vastly different compared to India. You will not be spoon-fed, and you will be expected to have punctuality, effort, and time management all on your own while taking care of personal life as well.
Likes (Internships): The careers portals designed for students and graduates of UoG are pretty helpful, they also run a lot of events, consulting, and all-round help towards applications. A lot of the time, you can graduate and find academic work within the department itself as well, or a role in one of the admin/support teams of the college as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are plenty of on-campus part-time jobs, but there are also other students, and in a one-year M.Sc. course you are competing for some jobs that people here are experienced in. If it's a niche role in your subject, quite possible. I would suggest not doing a lot of part-time work during your studies if you want a really good grade. If you only care about passing your degree, then you can afford 10-15 hours of part-time work per week. You are allowed to work up to 20 hours as a student per week, and you get the NI pay, which is about a bit over u00a312 per hour.

Strong academics, supportive faculty and good career opportunities
Tips: The main thing to prepare for before starting the MSc CS at Glasgow is the academic style—it's very independent, so you'll be spending a lot of time doing self-study and research projects outside of lectures. The Scottish weather takes some adjusting to, but the campus vibe more than makes up for it.
Receiving the £10k scholarship made studying abroad way more manageable. The course content covers all the key areas like ML, data science, AI, and cybersecurity with really practical, project-based learning. Plus, faculty support is solid and the university brings in a lot of tech employers for career fairs throughout the year.

Tips: Moving to Glasgow is definitely a culture shock—mostly down to the gray weather and the thick Scandi-adjacent Scottish accent—but if you’re used to shifting environments, you’ll fit right in. The people here are insanely welcoming, so settling into the West End is a breeze. Course-wise, I’ve got zero complaints about the uni setup. Just make sure you sort your money out before you pack. Scholarships are totally dependent on your exact course, so skip the generic advice and dig into the university’s specific funding pages the second you apply.

Excellent exposure with welcoming atmosphere
Tips: Scholarships are possible for international students, especially from India. The usual scholarship amount is £5,000; the maximum is £10,000. The university is good for exposure. Cultural shifts exist because there are not a lot of Indian communities in Glasgow as compared to England, especially London. Overall, the course and university are good for international students. They are welcoming.
Likes (Indian Food): Glasgow, as a city, offers a lot of choices across restaurants, across every cuisine. There are plenty of Indian restaurants to order from. Also, there are Indian shops as well for groceries where you can buy a lot of ready-to-eat food items from Haldiram and other brands, which makes cooking easier as well. These Indian grocery shops basically provide you everything essential for cooking as well.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not a lot of options are available for international students; no direct university placements are happening as well. Based on the government guidelines, it’s very difficult for the forms for our intern students; even if they are doing that, they have to pay a minimum of £35,000 annually, and they are only allowed to work for one and a half years post-education, which makes it challenging to find a job.

UofG - The university that helped me discover myself
Tips: There was a big cultural shift. A lot of diversity is something that stood out to me. It was a wonderful experience interacting with people across the world and learning about their culture. I did not find any scholarship. I am extremely satisfied with the university. The course curriculum was also incredible detailed. The professors were extremely helpful in aiding my transition from engineering to physics research.
Likes (Indian Food): Food options were great, honestly. Lots of Indian restaurants all around. Lots of places to try a lot of cuisines. You can source prices and a lot of Indian spices as well. I did pack some spices myself from home, but there are also spices available to buy at local stores.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances of permanent settlement in the country are a bit of a problem right now due to stricter anti-migration laws. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful place to settle. Personally, I wouldn't settle in the UK. But that's just me XD. Although I can definitely see why it's a very attractive option.

A prestigious university with a vibrant, diverse community and endless opportunities to connect.
Tips: The campus is humongous and the city is very vibrant. I personally felt welcome and it's not like you will feel alone. There are so many societies in the University that you can join and meet people. I applied through a consultancy before coming here, you can do it alone as well but it makes the process easier. I received the India Merit Award which was based on my Undergrad marks. Check the University and the coursework you are applying to thoroughly. Check the job opportunities and be prepared.
Likes (Safety): The city is very safe, you can walk in the area at night, especially Glasgow West End and you won't feel anything. Students always have an app provided by the university that they can use whenever they run into any kind of problem that requires immediate attention. It's like a 24x7 service available over the call, irrespective of you being on campus or not. Luckily, I hadn't had any such experience. Glasgow is a very vibrant city full of diversity and amazing people.
Dislikes (Internships): You will have plenty of opportunities for an internship but the competition is fierce; you need to keep an eye out for internships as there are only a few spots. You might not get an internship if you are in your Master's as most of them are looking for undergrad students and if you are able to find some, it might not be in your relevant field of study. The university does offer a lot of internships for which you can apply. They are both paid and unpaid.

A great place to learn, connect and succeed.
Tips: Students should know the university is academically strong, cultural diverse and offers many opportunities. Getting involved in campus life early really enhances the experience. The transition was smooth though I did experience some cultural difference overtime I adapted and founded the diversity engaging.
Dislikes (Part time work): Because the professors are highly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in student learning. Faculty are very approachable and easy to reach through office hours and quick discussions after class. They use a practical and interactive teaching style that combines theory with real world applications. The faculty is diversified in nationality and background bringing valuable global perspectives to the learning experience.

Very diverse and vibrant campus.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers a supportive learning environment but also expects them to be active and independent. The transition was smooth though there was definitely a cultural shift in terms of academic style and student independence, which took a little time to adjust to. The allowance really helped ease my financial planning. I am satisfied with my university, my course as the experience has been enriching both academically and personally.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty genuinely care about student learning and explain concepts well with real applications. They are very approachable whether in class or over email, and you can't easily reach out for support. I also appreciate the mix of theory and hands on learning, which keeps lectures engaging and practical. The faculty is quite diverse as well with members from different countries and academic backgrounds, bringing varied perspectives into the classroom.

University was Satisfactory
Tips: It's a good university with a lot of courses. There are options for scholarships, but I did not know how to avail myself of them. I am 80 percent satisfied because the course was pretty old and needed some changes because of changing technology, but I am not sure about this year; it is always better to check the university website.
Likes (Value for money): Tuition feels is very less compared to other West region Universities. It was around 380 euros, which is very little compared to a few other universities. Also, there are some universities with fewer fests per semester as well. Also, Chemnitz is very cheap comparatively, having less rent.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): This region in East Germany requires good German skills compared to other regions, and typically it is harder for English speakers to land a job. That's a different story if you receive a job that's the work-from-home type. That's why 3, because it is not impossible.

Its good univerty. good for internation students and friendly atmosphere.
Tips: Plan your finances. Get in international groups. Schedule and register for classes in advance. Learn German every day. There are many scholarship options, but you need to apply early with really good achievements. Try to communicate with others and learn many things.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you are a Blue Card holder and have worked 21 months in Germany with a B1 level of German, then you can be a permanent residency holder. Ways of living, health care, public transport, and work-life balance are good. I would not shift permanently due to high taxation and difficult bureaucracy. It is difficult with German bureaucracy. They do not support you if you cannot speak good German.
Dislikes (Part time work): Chemnitz is a smaller city, and there are not so many international student job opportunities due to the language barrier. If you can speak really good German, then it's good for you, but only English is not enough. For part-time workers and students, the pay rate is an average of 14 euro per hour.

overall experience was somewhat disappointing and did not fully meet expectations
Tips: As for the city itself, I barely felt any culture shock coming to Chemnitz. Because the international crowd on campus is so big, you end up hanging out mostly with other foreign students rather than really integrating into local German life. Everything feels pretty globalized anyway, so it wasn't the huge, transformative experience I pictured. Also, there are basically zero university scholarships—you're paying for everything yourself or working part-time. If you want an exotic study-abroad adventure, this isn't it; it's just a quiet, regular routine.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave public transport a high rating because getting around Chemnitz—and even traveling around Saxony—is effortless as a student. Your student ID includes the Semesterticket, which gives you unlimited rides on all the CVAG buses and trams in the city, plus regional trains across the whole state without paying anything extra.
The Reichenhainer Straße campus is connected directly by the tram lines, so getting to the city center, the main train station (Hbf), or local shopping spots takes no time at all. Buses and trams run around the clock, so getting around is dead cheap whether you're right next to campus or living further out.
Dislikes (Part time work): Low-economy region. Not many technical as well as odd jobs in this city and nearby area. Part-time work can be managed except the exam period depending on type of work and boss The average payout depends on time, location and type of work, but minimum wage start from 14 euro per hour.

My Experience at TU Chemnitz
Tips: Moving to Chemnitz was surprisingly smooth, mostly because the cost of living here is way cheaper than in major German cities. That said, getting used to the structured German lifestyle and picking up enough German to survive definitely took some time and effort. I didn't get any scholarships, so I had to self-fund everything by working part-time while studying.
At the end of the day, I'm glad I chose TU Chemnitz. The education quality is solid, the degree gives you practical technical skills that employers actually respect, and if you're willing to put in the work to learn the language and manage your time, the long-term career prospects in Germany make the effort totally worth it.
Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship at TU Chemnitz is definitely a mixed bag, which is why I gave it a 3/5. On paper, there are plenty of solid automotive and engineering roles around, but actually landing one is a massive headache. Most firms want prior experience and fluent German—especially if you're working directly with local engineering teams or clients where English just won't cut it.
You basically have to send out dozens of applications and be open to moving or commuting to places like Dresden, Leipzig, or Zwickau where the bigger industrial opportunities are. The university’s job portal, career fairs, and resume workshops are fine for basic guidance, but don't expect them to place you anywhere—you have to do all the heavy lifting yourself.

It’s really good and easy to start international life being more Indian students
Tips: I am satisfied, and students should be hardworking and focused. No, I didn’t get scholarships because it is free already, Umm, except for food and climate; not much cultural shift, I would say. It’s just 300€ per sem, and transportation is free of cost here, so no more expenses.
Likes (Internships): It’s easy to get internships and part-time tech jobs. I work at Bosch, and it was not tough at all to get in. Focus on Bosch and its tasks and try to complete as soon as possible You need to apply to at least 10 jobs every day for 2-3 months to get it and prepare well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking at home because German food is bland for Indians, and Indian restaurants are way too expensive. Indian groceries are not tough to find and cheap as well But make sure you get all the spices from India, as they are very much expensive.

It ia good but city lacks energy and freshness and learn B2 german
Tips: Start learning German immediately—don't wait until you actually land in Chemnitz. Trying to get by on English alone makes life way harder than it needs to be. Even for basic part-time jobs, student worker positions (Werkstudent), or internships around Saxony, speaking German is pretty much essential—you will struggle to find anything if you only rely on English.
As for the academics, be prepared for a very traditional, theory-heavy curriculum. The coursework at TUDC/TU Chemnitz focuses heavily on fundamental theory and written exams rather than modern hands-on projects, so you'll need to do a lot of self-study to keep up. While the university facilities themselves are decent and the cost of living in Chemnitz is super cheap, the city itself can feel quiet and isolated compared to places like Leipzig, Dresden, or Munich. If you have offers from universities in bigger or more dynamic student cities, I’d honestly recommend considering those first.

Learning Beyond Classroom
Tips: I have a systematic way of living after coming to Germany. Started doing things by myself without asking anyone. There was not a big cultural shift, but I could say the way I used to live in india, that is entirely different from how I live now. No, I have not applied for any scholarships yet, may be in future, if any opportunity comes, I might apply. I am fully satisfied with the university, as they help you to learn things practically and give a lot of different opportunities to attain practical knowledge. Also, the course I do is one I like, because it's a combination of Physics and Chemistry, and I loved learning those.
Likes (Value for money): This place is good value for money because the living expenses here are cheap. The place has lower rent compared to other cities. So, staying here is much cheaper. Rent plus other expenses for food and insurance altogether will cost around 650 euros for me. So, if you have a part-time job, then you can manage the expenses and save a bit of money every month as well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): This is because I intend to stay in Germany, provided there is an appropriate opportunity for me. However, on the contrary, it is that I have not decided anything about settling down permanently. As a matter of fact, what I want now is practical experience. Now, in this context, the possibility is moderate. Germany has its own procedure to settle skilled workers in Germany permanently based on certain conditions. Once you settle down there, the possibilities will become very high.

State-of-the-Art Facilities and Hands-On Experience
Tips: Moving out to Germany means getting hit with a massive culture shock right out of the gate, especially when you're trying to navigate the language barrier, the completely different food and how locals interact. But honestly, once you're inside the TU Chemnitz campus, it gets way easier because there’s a huge, incredibly active community of Indian students who genuinely look out for the newbies and help you settle in. There’s always stuff happening with different student clubs and cultural fests where you can volunteer, get involved, and meet people from all over the place. On the money side, if you knuckle down and keep your grades sharp—we’re talking landing a solid 1.3 to 1.6 in the German system—you can actually grab some decent scholarships. The university itself hands out funding that’s worth around 600 euros a month for a full year, plus you can always look into extra grants through DAAD to help cover your living costs.
Likes (Internships): The master's program is designed in a way with a mandatory internship. So it's very easy to apply for an internship all around Germany without any hurdles. Also, your German-speaking skills and previous work experience play a major role, along with your network. Also, you will be well paid during the internship and end up securing a full-time job in the same company where you do the internship and thesis.
Dislikes (Part time work): Chemnitz is a small town in the state of Saxony, and part-time job opportunities are very limited on campus. You can find off-campus jobs quite easily in Dresden and Leipzig, but you have to travel at least 1 hour. If you can speak German up to the B1 level, you can easily find part-time jobs in Chemnitz with good pay.

Excellent university to study
Tips: If you're looking into joining Chemnitz University of Technology, there are a couple of major things you should keep on your radar. First, when it comes to funding, you can absolutely land a scholarship here—I actually managed to secure one after my first semester. You don't need to stress about hunting it down blindly either; the university will directly shoot you an email with instructions on how to apply. It works out to about 300 euros, which gives you a really nice, much-needed financial cushion for daily student life.
As for the academics, the course structure here is solid. One of the best parts about studying at TU Chemnitz is that they bake a mandatory internship right into the curriculum. Because you're required to get that real-world experience, it creates a super smooth domino effect: you can easily turn your internship project into your Master's thesis topic, which very often rolls right into a full-time job offer after graduation. It completely takes the guesswork out of building a career path in Germany.

Chemnitz has good environment to live, you have to make the best of it.
Tips: You may experience a cultural shift in the form of language and festivities. The transition will not be too difficult. In terms of food, there are options to get Indian groceries in Chemnitz. I did get a scholarship for a year called Deutschlandstipendium. The monthly allowance was 300 euros. The course and University have a lot of resources and it totally depends on how you make the best use of it.

College is good but city is not lively
Tips: Coming from India, the biggest shift for me was the academic culture. The German university system gives you way more independence and flexibility with your schedule and exams compared to back home, and the overall work-study culture here feels much more balanced.
I don't have any scholarships, so I handle my own expenses through part-time work, but I'm still really happy with the course and the quality of education at TU Chemnitz. Germany as a country offers great long-term opportunities, though you should know that Chemnitz itself is quite quiet and laid-back. If you're expecting a fast-paced, lively city with big nightlife, it might feel a bit slow, but for pure studies and affordability, it works well.

A Great Learning Experience in Germany
Tips: If you're planning on heading to TU Chemnitz, your absolute number one priority should be picking up at least some basic German before you arrive. While you can get through your actual classes just fine using English, the reality check hits when you start looking for internships or full-time jobs after graduation—that's when German becomes a massive deal. Personally, my transition moving over to Germany went really smoothly. While I was studying, I actually managed to land the DAAD STIBET I scholarship, which was a huge help. You should definitely make it a habit to constantly check the student portal for funding options, especially things like the Deutschlandstepindeium and the Georgius Agricola scholarship. At the end of the day, I’ve been really happy with the university and my specific course. Germany has turned out to be an amazing spot, not just for the high-quality research and education, but also just for growing as a person.

Technical University of Chemnitz has a very good reputation in Germany.
Tips: The Technical University of Chemnitz is basically a good university. If, we are discussing the Advanced Manufacturing course, then it's too versatile, which is a diverse case of its specialisation courses. These modules help you to understand and work on your area of interest.
Likes (Value for money): From a living standard and financial perspective, Chemnitz is an excellent place to live, especially for students. As the third largest city in the state of Saxony, it is well developed, while still maintaining a lower cost of living than bigger cities.

Overall, it's a good experience.
Tips: Make sure you can handle the job pressure with your study and also have to learn German language it's very important. Job is easy to find if you know German language. Make sure you have enough language skills and try to get in contact with professors.
Likes (Value for money): Hardly, I am spending 500 euro per month in Chemnitz, Germany all things included as compared to other cities. It's the cheapest and best city for students. The traveling is free and some great cities like Dresden, liepzig are near to Chemnitz and it's easy to find job there.
Dislikes (Indian Food): For vegetarians, there are very limited options for food. All things like pizza have two or three options for vegetarians. McDonald's only serves non veg burger, etc. For spices also it is very expensive and everytime you have to search for Indian stores to buy some things which are usually expensive.
