A Supportive University with Strong Learning Opportunities.

Tips: Students should prepare for independent study, paperwork and learning German. The cultural shift was challenging initially, but I adapted gradually. I did not receive a scholarship. Overall I am satisfied with the university, course and life in Germany.

Likes (Public transportation): Giving Public Transportation a 5/5 was an easy choice because moving between campuses and getting around Bavaria is seamless as a KU student. The upgraded Deutschlandticket / Semesterticket model is a total game-changer—for roughly €29 a month (thanks to the Bavarian student discount), you get unlimited travel on local buses, trams, and regional trains across the whole country. You don't need to stress about buying single tickets every time you travel. It covers everything—the INVG buses in Ingolstadt, the Agilis regional train over to Eichstätt Bahnhof, and even weekend trips out to Munich or Nuremberg. The connections run right on time, stop super close to campus facilities in both towns, and save you an absolute fortune on travel costs as an international student.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Because post-study jobs exist, but visa sponsorship is limited and competition is high. German proficiency at B2-C1 is important for most jobs. Most roles in IT, engineering, finance, and analytics have salaries around €40000-€60000, but the job market is challenging.

Be ready to move out of your comfort zone.

Tips: Students are very confident. One thing that really hit me after moving here was how confident European students are in class and how seriously they take their coursework. Back home, people tend to be a bit more hesitant to speak up or push back, and adjusting to that culture shift was a pretty big learning curve for me personally. I did not get any scholarships, but yes, there are a few options for that. I do not have many details on the same, though. I am fully satisfied with my university and course.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculties are very supportive and encouraging not only for the studies but also regarding the professional opportunities as well as individual personalities. The overall teaching approach of the university is very practical, and faculties make sure it reaches us correctly. Plus, though the permanent faculties do not show much diversity, we have numerous guest lectures and industry professionals in some of the courses, which are widely diverse.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I have rated it average, as it is specifically concerned about food options from my own country. There are a few Indian restaurants, but the taste isn’t as good as what we expect from an Indian restaurant. Considering the locals here, they have to keep the flavors quite minimal as well as quite balanced, which restricts them in taste quality. Plus, it feels a little expensive. Hence, I prefer to cook by myself.

A Great Learning Experience with Practical Exposure

Tips: If you're coming to KU, the biggest thing to brace yourself for is the academic shift. The German university system expects a massive amount of self-direction. You won't have professors micromanaging your schedule; instead, you're expected to take total ownership of your research papers (Hausarbeiten), group projects, and seminar presentations. Even if your program is entirely in English, do yourself a favor and start learning basic conversational German before you arrive—it makes dealing with local shops, government offices, and finding a part-time job infinitely less stressful. I paid for everything through savings and family backing without any scholarships, but looking back, it's been worth every cent. The campus atmosphere—especially in quiet, picturesque Eichstätt—is super peaceful and safe, which makes it really easy to focus without the overwhelming chaos of a giant metropolis. The professors are surprisingly accessible and actually take the time to know your name, which you rarely get at bigger German universities. If you're ready to be independent and enjoy a more close-knit community vibe, you'll love it here.

Likes (Public transportation): The transit connection here is honestly one of the best perks of being a student at KU. Since the university is split across two main hubs—Eichstätt and Ingolstadt—you depend a lot on public transit, and it delivers. Your student ID includes a solid semester ticket that covers the local buses and regional trains, and pairing that with the discounted €29 Deutschlandticket for students in Bavaria gives you practically unlimited travel across the whole region for next to nothing. Getting between the Eichstätt campus, the main train station (Eichstätt Bahnhof), and Ingolstadt is super smooth using the local DB regional trains. The buses running through both towns are punctual, ridiculously clean, and make hitting up the grocery stores or train stations or heading into Munich for the weekend totally hassle-free. You genuinely don't need a car at all to live comfortably here.

Dislikes (Part time work): I had to give part-time work a low rating because trying to find a job here without solid German skills is a complete headache. Eichstätt and Ingolstadt aren't like Berlin or Munich where you can easily land an English-speaking gig in a cafe or delivery service. In a smaller Bavarian town, local businesses expect you to speak German fluently. The tiny pool of English-only jobs—usually Werkstudent tech roles or English tutoring—gets flooded with hundreds of applicants from international students, so competition is ridiculously fierce. If you speak decent German, your chances skyrocket, but until then, it takes months of constantly checking job portals just to get a single interview. Once you finally land something, the pay is fair (typically around €13 to €16 an hour, or the standard €538 minijob cap) and balancing 15 to 20 hours a week with university coursework is pretty doable. But if you're coming here relying on finding a part-time job immediately to cover your living expenses, you're going to be under a ton of stress
