MSc in Embedded Systems Engineering - Batch of 2024

The city is beautiful but a bit expensive.
Tips: The University of Freiburg is one of the best universities in Germany for Embedded Systems and AI. The programme offers a strong foundation with a research-oriented curriculum and excellent faculty. To enhance career prospects, it is highly recommended to gain practical experience through internships or working student positions alongside your studies. The city is beautiful but a bit expensive so getting on-campus accommodation would be the ideal situation.
Likes (Public transportation): Across Germany, public transportation is excellent and affordable for students. As a student in Germany, you get a travel ticket which costs somewhere around 70 to 100 euros for 6 months. Hence, it is very affordable, and the connectivity is great. People also prefer using a bike in summer.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Freiburg is a small city and having full-time career opportunities is not ideal. It is great for student jobs and part-time opportunities. If someone wants to settle there, then the options are fewer. In Germany, it is not that difficult to relocate, as the company understands and does not filter based on the city of the applicants. Germany, in general, is a good place to settle.

A lot of part-time opportunities are available in the city and the outskirts of Freiburg.
Tips: Learn the German language even if your course is in English. German cultural understanding would help, but it can be acquired here. Exchange programmes are available to top universities in Europe. Totally satisfied with the experience in Freiburg, would recommend. It would be hard to survive or find jobs without proper German skills.
Likes (Student Life): Great city. International and fun students. All amenities are available. Green and student-friendly city. Safe as well. Great connectivity to Switzerland and France. All sorts of events are available. Need to be proactive and look for like-minded people and activities.
Dislikes (Internships): A lot of part-time opportunities are available in the city and the outskirts of Freiburg. Full-time 6-month internships in Germany require you to take a semester break, which is not preferred since the salary is less compared to part-time jobs in corporate/research institutes.

Good university and faculty.
Tips: An M.Sc. in Computer Science could easily take up to 3 years and certainly more than 2 years. Students should plan financially for it. The expectation is to do both a Project (18 credits) and a Thesis (30 credits), which could take over a year depending on circumstances and the project.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Some world-leading professors were either in Freiburg's Computer Science department or are still there. Most of the courses I experienced were custom-designed based on the research done by the faculty. The course is often supported by Ph.D. students who are directly working on these topics and who offer a rare exposure to frontier research. I experienced this phenomenon in the Biology and Neuroscience departments.
Dislikes (Internships): Not applicable to my line of education and exposure. Our course did not require one. I have heard other students do part time jobs in startups, Fraunhofers, etc. or even remote jobs but they are mostly to support financially, work experience, etc. Not as an internship to obtain credit.

Good university and classes.
Tips: I studied mechanical engineering in India and this Master's course is very vast. There are 3 tracks - renewable energy, sustainable materials and resilience. I concentrate on the later two and designed my course in such a way that I land a job in the field of mechanical engineering by working part time as a research assistant at one of the 5 Fraunhofer institutes in Freiburg doing my Masters thesis there in the field I like to later get a full time scientist role in the field of core mechanical engineering, German language skills played a key role here I have C1 now. My other classmates who concentrate on renewable energy are working as energy consultants, PhD students, etc. So it's a very open course with opportunities to make your own path. I am very satisfied with the course. Freiburg is the sunniest city in Germany and it's not a huge city like the major cities, so partying, nightlife all that won't be at that level if you're that kind of person. For nature loving, pace loving, calm lifestyle lovers, Freiburg is the perfect city to settle - directly at the heart of the black forest, Next to Switzerland and France. But after the Masters, only a few lucky ones are able to find a job in Freiburg itself. Most of my classmates are either in a different city in Germany or in a different country in Europe. The people in this part of Germany are mostly open minded, nature loving and there is little to no racism here. I, being a flautist, have been performing here regularly and there is a lot of love towards indian classical music and culture.
Likes (Post study jobs): There is an international student club, with also Indian night and other community events. Freiburg, being a student city, the student life is amazing. As I am a flautist, I have performed in the Indian events. We also have a huge indian community with the majority being students in Freiburg with several events organised throughout the year on major festivals of India, independent of the university.
Dislikes (Part time work): The course is very vast with three different tracks. For every lecture, the faculty is different, so approachability varies. Some are very friendly, some are okay. Teaching methodology also varies from professor to professor. It's mostly with pre uploaded PowerPoint which you can already download from the study portals and go to the lecture so that you can take notes on the PowerPoint itself on your laptop or tablet. The entire Inatech department is really diverse. Most professors are German. The tutors are of different nationalities who are usually Ph.D. students of the professors.

Multi cultural university.
Tips: At first, there was definitely a cultural difference as it is a very different country compared to India. One advice would be to be open to new experiences. You can get help from many places for scholarships. Just look into the university website carefully.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you find a job after your studies, becoming a permanent resident is quite easy. I would like to permanently immigrate to this country. The country needs some improvement in the bureaucracy problem as it still requires many months to get appointments and approval.
Dislikes (Internships): It is a small city still there are many opportunities for internship or student jobs. There are many research institutes in the city for all kind of research where you can apply for. There are also lots of opportunities in the university itself.

Freiburg is an excellent place to learn and grow.
Tips: Please try to integrate with people from other nationalities. Try not to get sick with fellow Indians, as you will never experience the different cultures. And respect the country you are going to. Be aware of civic sense and treat everyone with respect. It is very often that we see reports of our fellow Indians disrespecting the culture and people. This will affect your stay and also any future admissions from our country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is a close knit group. All professors are on the same campus and the departments are located next to each other. Approaching the professors is difficult because of their busy schedule but approaching PhD students and post-docs is doable and they are always helpful.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee per semester in any public university located in Baden Wurttemberg is 1500. This is for any non-EU student. It is quite high compared to other universities in the east but lower compared to universities in Bayern, eg, TUM. However, the quality of the study is excellent and the courses are very thorough. On average, it takes 2.5 years or 5-6 semesters to complete the course with good grades.
