In Germany, there are no tuition fees for public universities.
Tips: There are a lot of Indian students here, so after coming here, I made a lot of new friends. All of them were so kind to me. So, my transition period was very smooth. Some cultural shifts happen on campus. I try to join in if I am free that day. I haven't gotten any scholarships yet. I'm hoping to get an RA position next winter semester. I am fully satisfied with my university. My course of study is Environment and Resource Management, and it is really interesting. Germany is also a beautiful country, and I think you would like it too.
Likes (Value for money): In Germany, there are no tuition fees for public universities, so you don't have to pay anything. At BTU, you may have to pay 340 euros per semester, but you also get a semester ticket that is valid for whole Germany! So, it's truly value for money.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus jobs aren’t that available, only if you're an RA. You have to rely on off-campus jobs only, which are very hard to find now. If you don’t know German well, then it will be a huge problem to find a job. If you do a part-time job, then it’s really manageable to perform academic tasks simultaneously. You have to choose your course wisely so that you can balance your job and study. The average payout for part-time jobs is 12.82 euros per hour now, the lowest salary you can get. Though many companies or restaurants pay more than this, this amount is the minimum wage they have to give.

Flexible course, small classes, low living cost and affordable city.
Tips: The M.Sc. in AI at BTU Cottbus is flexible and research-focused. The students have to be self-driven because they are expected to manage their own learning. The course is taught in English, knowing basic German will help in daily life. Small cases, low living costs and an affordable city.
Likes (Safety): The city I live in is totally safe because it's not too big and not too small. You have the police force everywhere for your protection. Best of all, I've never heard of any criminal cases since I've been living here. This city is really safe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of restaurants in the city, but I don't like the food here. It's made according to German tastes, less spicy and less salty, and that’s why I don't like it, but many students still eat there. But here in Cottbus, there are five or six Indian restaurants where you can eat your favourite food, and the cost is also cheap.

Perfect work-life balance.
Tips: Make sure to find accommodation before arriving at BTU Cottbus, or you might face a long, stressful city registration and housing search. Finding some part-time work won't be too difficult, and since there are no tuition fees, your finances will be much easier to manage. Make sure you focus on academics and don't neglect your German language classes. With a Deutschland ticket, the transportation is free for the entire semester. It costs you around 298€ for the entire semester, and you can avail yourself to travel in any means of transportation all over Germany except ICE trains. City and regional transportation are included.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I need to cook by myself rather than eating outside because of the pricing. If you stay in a group, your monthly food expenses can drop to 150 or maybe even less. There are a few Indian restaurants, but you'll probably find them expensive. I would suggest learning how to cook before you come.

Extremely research-oriented and well diverse.
Tips: The education at the Brandenburg University of Technology is superb, so don't worry about that, but I would advise you to have at least a B1 proficiency in German before you move to Germany. The university is very supportive, and they make sure you know how to cook because the food here is not meant for Indian tastes. Besides that, everything else is manageable. The faculty members here are extremely experienced in their field, and they work for big MNCS and do teaching out of passion. They are supportive and make sure you interact with them so that they remember your face. This will be really helpful when you are looking for internships because they have great connections. In Germany, the food is expensive and doesn’t usually have much flavour. So I’d suggest getting a grocery delivery service and cooking your own food if you’re from India. It’s hard to get spices here, and no one knows what Indian food is.

BTU Cottbus is international, affordable, and student-friendly.
Tips: BTU Cottbus is international, affordable, and student-friendly. The city is calm and safe, with low living costs and a supportive campus environment. Basic German helps with daily life and jobs. Plus, Berlin is just a short train ride away for big-city fun. BTU Cottbus has great food options - German, Mediterranean, sushi, and more. Bellessa serves bold South American flavor, Sebastian's is tasty & cheap, and the Mensa is super budget-friendly.

BTU has more research oriented approach in their teaching.
Tips: There is a significant cultural difference between my country and Germany. Language is a barrier here. There is a communication difference. Other than that, everything is good. Most of my professors are all experienced. Not only are they experienced at teaching, but they also have practical experience in my chosen industry.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It’s difficult being a vegetarian in Berlin. I’ve tried some restaurants, but they are quite expensive. Also, the few Indian food stores I found have a limited selection of veggies from India, so it’s not very exciting for me.
