Master of Science in Infection Biology - Batch of 2026
4.4
It's a very good university for studying life science courses.
Tips: You should look into the course structure and accommodation. There are a few scholarships available and you are only paying 350 euros a semester as tuition fees. I am very satisfied with the course and I do recommend it to students from a microbiology or biochemistry background.
Likes (Value for money): It's worth the money you are spending, you pay only less than 1000 euros a year as fees. I don’t think anywhere in the world you can study with less than 1000 euros a year with high quality of education. University of Lübeck has been ranked 1 in the list of medical universities in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It is a bit hard to find Indian shops here in Lübeck but there are multiple Indian restaurants where you can eat Indian cuisine. For buying Indian groceries, you have to depend on a small shop in Lübeck but most of the students go to hamburg which is an hour away, for Indian grocery shopping.

The university was most centric around a research-based institute.
Tips: This is a public University. There is no tuition fee; there is a semester fee associated, which helps you get a semester ticket including a transportation pass within the university locality. There are a lot of cultural shifts in terms of education and socialising. Most importantly, network building will help you land a good job. I am very much satisfied with the course that I took. Also, the university was the one that I shortlisted in the past after thorough research. Also, Germany as a country is a very safe place, and education is one of the most prestigious things in this country, and also economically it is the top in Europe, which can help you get good job prospects.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day at University by attending lectures and practical classes. I enjoy attending classes with my friends and preparing for exams. Cooking food at home with friends after college. Discussing complex topics that were not understood. This really helps make us connected together and was definitely the best part of student life abroad. There are various job fair events conducted on campus, usually called "Job Mess" around October when the winter semester starts. I often participate by attending the campus after lectures and manage my time accordingly. I was usually part of the "SI@finance" campus club. It helps international students guide them through their journey in student life, about the study structure, and how to take up subjects each semester.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is an Indian restaurant located a few kilometres away from the University. It is accessible by tram. However, there are many food eateries just opposite the university campus. I usually prefer buying groceries and cooking at home by myself, as it requires little skill to cook at home, where you set out. Also, it brings a sense of independence to manage food on one's own, which each individual refers to.

3.5
An eye-opening experience.
Tips: Try to focus on making connections in the university. The university itself is more research oriented, and the faculty are good. The courses are well structured and can sometimes be challenging with the amount of weekly assignments. It is definitely not easy to get a full time role after graduation, as you have to make sure that you develop industry relevant skills on your own.
Likes (Public transportation): Tram and bus options are really good. For a small city, the connectivity is really good, and you don't have to worry about walking for long. I would recommend getting a second hand cycle as there are situations when the transport company workers go on strike.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university doesn't really offer many full-time jobs, as it doesn't have many collaborations with companies. Students are able to get HiWi jobs in the university itself, but the city also offers very less opportunities for working student jobs.

A comfortable learning environment with handful opportunities and friendly faculty.
Tips: There was a cultural shift regarding the teaching methodology and opportunities for learning. And haven't experienced much in the initial years because of COVID. But the University helped us a lot with easing rules and regulations. Haven't used any scholarship. I'm very satisfied with the university, but the course was okay as it was very long.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were always available via email to book an appointment. And open to ideas about projects. The course had a lot of lab work, which was mandatory, which helped in getting the practical idea of the course and subjects. There are professors from multiple countries, as far as I remember. But not more than 50%.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not a great number of Indian restaurants, and the ones that are were a bit expensive. I used to cook by myself. We can get all the Indian ingredients to cook, and everything is available. Due to a lack of options, I preferred to cook.

A well-rounded political science and humanities studies educational experience.
Tips: I've experienced different cultures from different parts of the world, and it has refined my perspective on international study endeavours. I did not apply for a scholarship. But the program is open to DAAD. I am satisfied with my study experience as it broadened my previously narrow perspective and positioned me to better research an international conflict with nuanced perspectives and a much-needed gravitas. It has given me tremendous opportunities to discuss openly about my field of study as a common interest, but also as a possibly applicable skill professionally.

Helpful faculty and management.
Tips: Guidance of a mentor is required, as I know someone from my German language classes, and I took support from him to navigate the challenges that anyone can face. Every day, I used to call him and ask him what was necessary and what was not. Asking questions is crucial to surviving in Germany. I am very satisfied with my university, course and country. There is a little problem with the German language; if you ace it, then all will be fine.

The college is pretty good and very international.
Tips: I have become very patient and peaceful after coming here. Learnt to deal with everyday problems in a more stable and decent manner without escalations. The major cultural shift was in the food and language. Apart from that, due to strict timings of all the supermarkets and shops, one has to learn to plan ahead regarding buying groceries/other utilities.
Likes (Value for money): Very low or negligible tuition fees. The benefits received for paying the fees are very justified. The city is very student friendly, and there are basically discounts on everything if you are a student there. The rents are very affordable, and one can lead a very calm and peaceful life in the city.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are not many big industries, but the city is very close to industrial and start-up hubs like Berlin and Wolfsburg. With a solid German language, there is a high probability of landing jobs in medium scale industries located in the city. The salary packages range from around 42,000 to 50,000 euros per year before tax.

Consider this university if you enjoy research and plan to pursue a PhD.
Tips: Research about the course and its modules before opting for one. The cultural transition is rather easy as there is already an Indian student organization that makes ice breaking simpler. There are scholarships available after the first year where you apply for them by showcasing your contribution towards the university.
Likes (Safety): The Magdeburg town has a lesser population and it is away from any kind of politics. It is mostly famous for engineering and medical educational universities, so most of the people here are students from various nationalities and hence there aren't any criminal activities reported in the city. In my 2-3 years in that city I didn't experience or hear of any crimes against students and felt safer even on midnight strolls.
Dislikes (Internships): There are low to medium level job/intern opportunities in Magdeburg; most of the students travel to nearby cities like Berlin and Hannover to look for more exposure and better opportunities. But as these cities are within 1 hour distance so Magdeburg provides a good platform to study in the university and job options within a 1-hour travel timeline.

Good university with a diverse culture.
Tips: It doesn’t really matter from which university you graduated. People generally recruit based on German language skills and basic knowledge of their master's studies relevant to the job. If you are looking for PhD programs, this university has some good opportunities.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It is applicable all over Germany. With B1 you get PR in just 21 months and with A1, it is in 33 months. This count is based on months for which you paid social contributions; that is, it counts once you start your full time job. It is a good country to immigrate to.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no mandatory internship concept. Internships are also very demanding and require German language skills. If you want to find an internship, I suggest you take some courses in India and try to get some experience. As far as I know, universities don’t help students find an internship.

A lifetime experience for foreign aspirants.
Tips: Germany has the most helpful but reserved people. One must learn small words in German; they see your little efforts and switch to conversations quickly in English. Health, travel, friendships and concerns regarding everything else are fully resolved when you are responsible and you will definitely be helped by the university, community groups and friends.
Likes (Student Life): The college ambience is spread across the whole town with up to 60 buildings, the cafe, library etc are beautiful and events are conducted every week to engage students. There are also well knit community college groups that help us out with any problems and friends are easy to make.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are a lot of HIWI or student jobs available at university for students. Learning a little German will boost opportunities for students especially if they are looking for off campus opportunities. It is very manageable to do part time jobs as there are no issues with attendance and concepts are very understandable from the study materials provided by the professors. Average payout is 15-20 euros per hour and could extend up to 35 euros per hour.

OVGU is a research-oriented college.
Tips: OVGU is a research-oriented college. Professors will assume that master's students have a basic understanding of the topic, as if they studied it in their bachelor's degree. Therefore, you need to do a lot of self-study, assignments, and research work. Besides that, student life is fun and vibrant. We have different activities for different events.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport across Germany is really nice. As students, we get a Deutschland semester ticket, which includes free transportation within the city. For travelling outside the city, we can use the Regional Bahn and Regional Express for free. This helps students travel easily.
Dislikes (Part time work): Currently, the part-time situation in Magdeburg is not that great, and students are finding it difficult to get a part-time job. A major challenge that a student is facing here is the language barrier, and most companies are not hiring students as they need full-time people and not part-time.

Otto Von Guericke Universität is a technical university and more research-focused.
Tips: OVGU is a technical university, which means the studies here are designed to be more research-focused. If you are looking to do a Ph.D., then the university curriculum is pretty good, but if you just want a Master's degree and then want a professional career, go for a Hochschule instead.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The university faculty as a whole is quite good, the professors and the staff are really helpful and approachable, also they emphasise more on hands-on training rather than taking a theoretical approach. OVGU maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio, which helps in easy and direct interactions.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants, but even those are catered more towards the German taste palette, so being Indian, you might not like the taste as much. Also, if you're a vegetarian, your outside food choices are limited, and most of the time, you'll have to cook your own meals.

The faculty is highly qualified, but the content delivery and explanation can be improved.
Tips: Before attending Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, have a good knowledge of your field of study, and know the job market around you. Being proficient in the German language would boost your chances of getting a job and of mingling with people. Finally, know how to cook, as eating at restaurants is quite expensive.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in Magdeburg is really good. It is very easy to use and frequently available. Moreover, as a public university student, I don't need to pay for a ticket, which gives me a lot of flexibility to explore the region and learn more about different areas. Even though it is a small city, Magdeburg has extremely convenient public transport available 24/7.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly qualified, but the content delivery and explanation can be improved.

The faculty are also leading research in some leading companies but they assume that we as students are at the same page as they are.

Assessing permanent settlement prospects in Magdeburg, Germany.
Tips: Magdeburg has a lot of Indians, including where I go to university. I personally didn't feel any culture shock, and it was really nice. I didn't get a scholarship, but I got into a public university, so I don't have to pay for my education. And I'm very satisfied with the university, Magdeburg and the country.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany is a great place to settle. A country with one of the best work-life balances. If you are good with German language skills, then this is the best country to settle and work in. If I get a chance, I will definitely settle here. This place is also very calm and nature-friendly.

Life at OVGU thriving as an Indian student.
Tips: There are a lot of Indian students at Otto-von-Guericke, and there is a big Indian student community, so don't expect to find many Germans on campus. We celebrate Diwali and other festivals. It can be great to have lots of Indian students and not so great for some people, so it really depends on the person.
Likes (Value for money): There are no tuition fees. There is only a semester fee, and that too is really low as compared to other Indian universities, and these fees include my transportation, my library access, and all student-related activities for free. It is really justifiable.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration depends on the future and the future job market. Plus, it depends on how the government will allow this, since the new government is forming, and there are some parties that are really against immigrants. It really depends, but if I got the chance, sure.

The University organises a variety of student clubs, events, including movie nights, marathons, etc.
Tips: It took me a while to fully get used to the environment here. There were some cultural shifts because a lot of people here are quite laid back about their academics and don't mind extending their duration of study, unlike most Indians. Also, it is absolutely necessary to be fluent in German when coming here for your Bachelor's because the teachers will be expecting you to know it already and will not be that much sympathetic regarding your proficiency, although it still depends on person to person.
Likes (Student Life): The University organises a variety of student clubs and events, including movie nights, marathons, and other activities, which keep students involved and engaged. They also organise events for festivals such as Diwali and Christmas that the huge Indian student population enjoys and feels connected with. The diversity on campus is great.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many Indian food options here if you prefer to order, and what options are available are also pretty expensive. The Indian food is also not really authentic, so unless you travel to a bigger city like Berlin, I would say it's not worth it. I prefer cooking by myself.

The university is academically good and the faculty are experts in their field.
Tips: Be aware that there will be several cultural changes here that you'll have to adapt to. In hotels, everyone pays for their own dinner. Scholarships do exist, but you need to show you’re an excellent student and volunteer a bit for a chance at receiving one. There are many stores where you can find your traditional food or any food stuff, and in case you need anything specific, they can also order it for you. Restaurants are also good options to get traditional food instead of cooking it yourself, which takes a lot of time and effort. Post-study jobs, especially in the field, are very difficult because you need to get past the language barrier. Then you have to be very motivated, as it will take around 3-4 months to find a full-time job in the field. Finally, you should be ready to move to another city if you accept one of these job offers.

Well structured course and real-time problem learning.
Tips: The transition was smooth as I had learned German before coming to Germany. The cultural shock I experienced was the work-life balance and more emphasis on mental health. I did not avail myself of any scholarship as my university is public. Everything I want is provided for no extra cost, except the semester fee, which is the bare minimum.
Likes (Value for money): The overall qualification of education, access to resources, and exposure to advanced technologies justify the semester fee cost. The curriculum is well organised for industry knowledge. The studies are more practical and real-world challenge-based. There are also options of working under a professor to tackle some real-world issues as projects, along with studies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are German restaurants where you find currywurst burgers for 15 to 20 euros per meal, there are Italian restaurants where you find pizza and pasta for 8 to 12 euros per meal, and there are Turkish Kebab shops where you can have fries and pizza for 5 to 10 euros per meal, however, there are limited authentic restaurants available and they don't have the traditional authentic taste I was looking for. I prefer cooking my food.
