Master in Data Science - Batch of 2028
3.8
Great University for Data Science, Career Opportunities and International Student Life.
Tips: 1. Be ready to study independently. 2. Course enrollment and university administration have to be done with care. 3. English is enough for most academic stuff, but German is useful for life outside university. 4. It may be hard to find accommodation, so be ready to look for one in advance. 5. There are part-time and working-student jobs, but the competition may be high. 6. The university gives great academic experience in technical fields. 7. As far as I know, I did not get any scholarships myself, so students need to investigate scholarships at DAAD and elsewhere on their own. 8. In general, I am happy with the university, my course, and Germany as a place to study in.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system in Mannheim is quite good and reliable. One can move from the university campus to different locations in the city without having a personal vehicle. During daytime, the tram arrives in an interval of 10 minutes, whereas at night, it comes at around 20 minutes. Students under 27 years old use the D-Ticket JugendBW that costs 45 euros per month. Students over 27 years old use the Deutschlandticket, which costs 63 euros per month.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There is no definite number for the "visa-sponsoring companies" in Germany. Germany does not have the same sponsorship program as other countries like the USA or Britain. For fresh graduates, an estimated salary would be in the region of 43000 - 57000 Euros per year. This figure would depend on the position, company, city, experience, and technical expertise.

Mannheim became my home and priority for 3.5 years.
Tips: The quality of the education is premium and also strict at the same time. No student should underestimate that or take the education for granted. You have to put in efforts to own the degree. You have to attend every lecture and actually listen to the professors in the class because there are many courses where you would not be provided with any recordings.
Likes (Student Life): University life is too good. Networking options are excellent. The University provides you with all kinds of sports among which badminton was our favourite. It hosts networking events every Monday. The university organizes movie nights. The university itself is huge and also organises parties every Thursday.
Dislikes (Internships): They won't provide you with any internship. You have to put in real efforts to find one. Interviews over there are no joke. You can also go for working student opportunities as there are many. Also, you will get all sorts of help from the international office. Angela, head of the international department, saved my life while I was in Germany.

Always contact the international office; they offer excellent support.
Tips: Always contact the international office; they offer excellent support. While I didn't receive a scholarship, there are many available. Check daad.de and inquire with the international office about potential scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university, course, and I absolutely love Germany.
Likes (Safety): The university prioritises student safety. There's always a contact person available to assist with any issues, providing personal support. The overall culture is very helpful, and safety concerns are minimal. The city is also relatively safe.
Dislikes (Internships): I have heard great things about internships. While I haven't really completed my Master's and so I cannot share my personal experience. But at the moment my werkstudent job also plays really good. In addition to that the course really prepares you for the jobs after completing the programme.

The University of Mannheim is known for its academic rigour.
Tips: The University of Mannheim is known for its academic rigour, especially in business, economics, and social sciences. Students should be prepared for a fast-paced curriculum, active class participation, and high expectations. It's also helpful to familiarize yourself with the German academic system, which may be quite different from other countries in terms of grading, assessment, and course registration. Knowing some basic German even if your programme is in English, can make daily life much easier. The transition was smooth overall, but there were a few cultural shifts. Germans tend to be very punctual, direct, and structured, which I found refreshing but also took some time to get used to. The academic culture is more independent; you're expected to manage your time and learning without constant guidance. That said, the university and fellow students are very supportive, and there are plenty of integration events for international students. There are a few options for students to apply for scholarships like for e. g., DAAD or university-specific scholarship. The application process involved submitting academic transcripts, a motivation letter, and reference letters. The allowance varied, but it typically covers part of the living expenses, anywhere between 400 to 850 per month, depending on the scholarship type. Lastly, I'm very satisfied with all three. The University of Mannheim offers a high-quality education with experienced faculty and strong research opportunities. My course is both intellectually stimulating and practically relevant. As for Germany, it's a great place to study, safe, culturally rich, and student-friendly in terms of cost compared to many other European countries.

The best university in Germany for every field of study.
Tips: Students should be aware of the course, study area, and professors. They should also be very well known about the course criteria and the university's location. Students who are self-funding should research available scholarships.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): My college experience has been really enjoyable and fulfilling. A typical day involves attending lectures, working on projects with friends, and spending time in the library and common areas. I enjoyed the atmosphere the most.
Dislikes (Student Life): This university is very large. The professors are nice and helpful, and the students are very helpful and friendly. I spent nearly two years there and feel very secure and professional during my academics. I spend around three to four hours in the library.

I would recommend UoM for people who are really hard-working and love studying by themselves.
Tips: Transition was quick, and I experienced no cultural shift. I did not avail any scholarship and funded myself for one year. The course requires independent study, and the country is great for introverts. Overall, I am quite satsified with the university.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected to the city, with trams and buses available for intercity travel. While not cheap, costing around €50 per month, the public transportation is totally convenient. The university and staff are great, but be prepared to do most of your studying independently. The city is good, but life moves at a slow and patient pace.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Since the market is tight, no companies are currently hiring. Considering the general salary package for data scientists is around €40,000-€60,000 to start, I haven't received any interview calls in the past six months, despite having great grades.

SMU: A Dynamic, Global, and Career-Focussed University Experience
Tips: Prior to joining SMU, students should be made aware of the interactive nature of the academic culture, with participation being an integral part of the process. Classes are mostly discussion-oriented, and students are required to participate actively, engage in group work, and handle multiple responsibilities along with the coursework. In conclusion, I am very happy with SMU, my course, and of course, Singapore.
Likes (Student Life): The reason for the 5 rating was the active, diverse, and engaging campus environment. Inspite of being a compact city-centre campus, opportunities to meet people, participate in activities, and build a community outside the classroom are plenty. Attending classes, working on group projects and assignments, spending time with friends, and participating in co-curricular activities make up a typical day for a student here. There are plenty of student clubs as well, like, the finance, consulting, entrepreneurship and the sports clubs.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore gets a 1-star rating because, even though Singapore provides great job opportunities and a high standard of living, getting the status of permanent resident in Singapore for a foreigner is fairly challenging and unpredictable. Long-term settlement also depends on other things like job, salary, qualifications, etc. If I had to assess the probability of getting permanent settlement in Singapore, then I would say it is uncertain/moderate rather than high for a foreigner like me.

Technically well equipped and academically inclined
Tips: Nope, not much cultural shift, as there are many Indians here. I did get a 30% scholarship for the course. You have to apply for it separately after you get admitted. I am well satisfied with the university and professors. They really helped me whenever I had any doubt.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are extremely helpful and kind. They will really go out of their way to help you; that is if you are interested. They will always reply to your email and can even give one-on-one attention. You just have to be proactive in class. As for nationality, they are mixed.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chance of getting a work visa is very difficult. They prefer local, and getting a permanent residence is also very difficult. If given a chance, I would like to settle in Singapore. But it seems very difficult, and they do not give PR easily. But you can still try to first get a job and then a PR.

SMU: A city-campus with goal oriented, but friendly people
Tips: Quite satisfied with the university. I was able to go outside my comfort zone as school honors participation. I made a lot of friends of different ethnic backgrounds. The professors are extremely helpful too. One thing to note is, you may want to learn how to cook, as eating out can get expensive, especially for vegetarians. :) You'll miss Indian food if you're from the northern states, as SG's local Indian food is mainly southern. Don't forget to use a GOOD deo/antiperspirant because it gets very hot in Singapore and most SMU classes are small in size. Additionally, as Indians, we tend to gravitate more towards other Indians, so try to socialize more with everyone and put up a friendly smile.
Likes (Student Life): It is a city campus with many student-led events. SMU often gives students many opportunities to connect with other students through workshops, also provides free snacks and hosts fun and interesting events involving talents. Moreover, they have many opportunities for students to actually get out of school and go overseas too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore has strict PR/citizenship policies; most students hoping to even find a job would require companies to sponsor a visa, which many are not willing to do due to additional costs and legal requirements to hire additional locals to compensate for hiring foreigners. Therefore, regardless of hope of PR, finding a job itself is close to impossible. Many of my friends from India came to SG hoping to settle down through a job; however, ones with a 4.0/4 CGPA faced a reality check after 6+ months and 300+ job applications to many companies before finally giving up and applying in India.

Insights to SMU Singapore
Tips: Job hunting is quite difficult in Singapore as a non-local, and SMU generally is not of much help—faculty is great for SOSS and law. Other schools are not that great. - Singapore is an extremely safe country. General discrimination in terms of preferential treatment to locals is there, but no blatant discrimination against anyone.
Likes (Public transportation): Almost every part of the city is connected through buses or trains, and their cost is not much. The campus has two MRT lines as well as a lot of bus stops nearby (and one on campus). It's a city campus, so most schools are near bus stops and MRT stations.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies are open to hiring non Singaporean local for internships or full time jobs. Very difficult to find jobs. Networking can also net get you too far. Work sponsorship is something most companies are unwilling to pay, and even through great references there is not much scope.

A lot of events and fun work study balance.
Tips: Students should attend the orientation before the classes start. Get a feel of the campus, go around as the different schools are a bit of a walk. But there are public buses that go around as well. Meet the new students during the orientation.
The university facilities are amazing and is located in the heart of the city.
