Master of Science in Microsystems Engineering - Batch of 2027

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.

Good facilities and diverse learning environment.
Tips: Accommodation is quite difficult to get for many students both international and EU students because of the housing crisis in my city but also generally in Germany and many other EU countries. So I would recommend searching for it well in advance. I have not availed any scholarships but there are a few and they are naturally competitive. I'm satisfied with the university and my course, I couldn't complain about it. However, my city although beautiful, is quite expensive compared to other cities in Germany but Germany has significantly lower tuition fees.

Experiencing German research-focused education, cultural development and personal growth.
Tips: It was certainly a cultural shift to come to Germany as an Indian student and pursue my studies at university. The education system here is knowledge-based and focuses deeply on conceptual understanding. While working on my thesis, I gained practical insight into how research projects are carried out and I gained immense knowledge while working on practical concepts. People here are really helpful and friendly in nature.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Professors are really friendly. They are ready to solve your queries in class, and if you need help, you can approach them anytime, they will help you. Even while doing a part-time job or internship under them, they will help you understand the work and get the concept while doing research on new things. They have expertise in their field.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook my own meals. There are several Indian stores in the area where fresh vegetables, fruits, and groceries are readily available. There are also vegan restaurants in the city centre. Also, there are my restaurants with good vegetarian options as well. There are 3-4 Indian restaurants for occasions when you crave indian food though dining out would be a bit expensive.

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.

MSc in Neuroscience - Batch of 2019
4.4
Student friendly science city.
Tips: First thing is to learn the German language and then start looking for part time jobs in case you don't have a scholarship. Join an international club to connect with other students and people from your own country. Try to do some extracurricular activities to meet people and grow your network which will be helpful after your graduation to find a good job through reference.
Likes (Public transportation): Freiburg has really nice public transportation and connectivity and on top of that, it's a bicycle friendly city. You can either buy a semester ticket or a DB ticket which is valid throughout Germany. Now the price has significantly increased but still quite good if you're into travelling and all.
Dislikes (Indian Food): If you are a vegetarian person then try to buy groceries from supermarket and cook by yourself. If you don't know how to cook, then learn basic cooking skills to survive nicely, although Freiburg is a vegan friendly city but in case you don't find the food that delicious, then you have to cook by yourself.

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.
