MSc in Neuroscience - Batch of 2023

4.7

The best university to be in Black Forest

Tips: Yes you get to understand that the academic environment here in German university is much different than in India. they focus more on particle aspects and application of your knowledge. I am very satisfied with my choice of course and later I continued in academia by pursuing the phd

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is one of the best in German cities. The semester ticket offers good benefits for students, and you can get it for 90 Euros. The transportation also connects beautiful cities in the Black Forest that you can explore over the weekend.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): In Germany, you need to find jobs based on your own skill set and contacts. The university does not provide you with a job drive. There are open platforms where you can register for a job, and one major thing is the German language requirements for industry jobs that is tough.

MSc in Neuroscience - Batch of 2027

4.4

One of best universities in EU for STEM-related degrees and research.

Tips: Students need to be ready to become proactive and independent. This transition may appear somewhat overwhelming at first, however, becoming used to an environment where you are supposed to learn on your own and deal with diversity will take some time. Getting acquainted with peers and engaging in campus activities will make it easier for you to adjust to new social and academic surroundings. I am very pleased with my university, program and the host country. There is a very high standard of academics and infrastructure.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of on-campus part-time jobs, including mini-jobs and Hiwi. Balancing work with academics is manageable for some courses and totally depends on the individual. The pay for part-time work ranges from 14-16 EUR/hr, and you are only allowed to work for a limited time in a month.

Dislikes (Internships): Although there is an abundance of internships and research opportunities that pertain directly to the field, it takes initiative to seek them out and apply for them because no help whatsoever is provided by the faculty members in seeking them out. However, once the internships are obtained, their support is exemplary.

MSc in Embedded Systems Engineering - Batch of 2024

3.9

Robotic hub of German universities.

Tips: People appreciate it if you are on time. Study aptly and not memorise but analyse. As for jobs, even though the market waivers sometimes, if there's no other option, try to find any job to get your finances and resources sorted. People don't judge you based on what you work. Nevertheless, you will be treated equally. The university offered great courses for my interests so I don't have any complaints.

Likes (Safety): The people are helpful and the city is safe and strict towards any racism or violence. I have had multiple accidents throughout Germany but the people in very few cities have been kind enough to help at least get up. Freiburg was one of the places where people were willing to help you.

Dislikes (Value for money): I believe that other universities offer a similar level of education for lower tuition fees. The tuition fees that I paid were imposed by the state and sometimes these fees differ with respect to different states and universities. So if you have other options feel free to check so.

Where life is not a rat race

Tips: Cultural shift - easygoing people, no stressful, fast life, helpful people, but a language barrier in Freiburg. No scholarships. I work as a student assistant HiWi in a lab. I am happy with the university. Germany is good, but without Indians around, it is a bit boring.

Likes (Internships): Yes, in my current lab where I am working, the professor is very nice and helpful. Yes, the internship is in Physics, which is my major. My professor is really good and very helpful, guiding me in everything. Lab members are also really helpful. If you ask them something, they will immediately help you without hesitation.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Most of the restaurants here provide European food. I like cooking myself, and Indian Mart is very far and far from my accommodation. The prices of the restaurants are around 15-20€ for any kind of main course dish, so I don't usually eat there. There are some options for cheap doner, which is actually very good, near the railway station.

Master of Science in Microsystems Engineering - Batch of 2027

4.7

Warm, English friendly, beautiful, well connected city with great academic potential.

Tips: Tuition fees per sem is 1500. An international city with a lot of English speakers. The warmest city in Germany. Beautiful and aesthetic. The border of Germany, Switzerland and France is excellent for travel lovers. Microsystems engineering due to poor exposure doesn't have a lot of applications, although the number of chairs in this department is very high. So compared to my friends in other universities, finding Hiwi and post study jobs are easy. As this is the border of Germany, finding a logistics part time job is relatively easy too. I am yet to apply for scholarships, as part time money helps me balance my tuition fees and living expenses. I'm very satisfied with the university, course and country.

Likes (Post study jobs): For the microsystems engineering course which due to poor exposure, doesn't have a lot of applying students. So almost everyone either ends up with a job or a PhD. The number of chairs in our department is 24, and students can find jobs in university departments, Hahn Schickard or Fraunhofer institutes close to university. These places offer both PhD and job opportunities. Along with this PhD across Europe in other universities is an option. Bosch and other companies in Stuttgart are some places students have relocated to if they want industrial roles. The industrial roles have good pay while the PhD roles have TVL scale pay. As the microsystems course has different specialisations to choose from studying, a wide range of roles are possible to apply.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food options are average and there are no unique positive things worth mentioning in Freiburg about Indian food. Theres a Indi Lanka mart store which provides the necessary Indian groceries. Easy to cook food options like Idli, dosa batter, Frozen chapati, naan, other staples of Indian easy to cook food are available here. When it comes to Indian restaurants, nothing is worth the price. This is expected in all cities, across foreign countries. As Freiburg is situated on the border of Switzerland, France and Germany. The network of transport is good and if you want to eat in an Indian restaurant in Germany or in Switzerland, it's easy to travel.
