Having studied for a couple of years in Dresden, I feel it's a good place to explore academically
Tips: Before coming to TU Dresden, you need to know that as one of Germany's top engineering universities, the academic standard here is no joke. TUD is a massive public research university, which means you get incredible access to high-end labs, research hubs around Dresden (like Fraunhofer and Max Planck institutes), and strong industry connections across Saxony's tech sector. But that reputation comes with a heavy workload—professors expect high independence, and nobody is going to hold your hand through the semester. On the life side, Dresden is one of the most affordable major student cities in Germany compared to places like Munich or Frankfurt, especially when it comes to rent in areas like Neustadt or Südvorstadt. The international student community is huge, but you still need basic German to handle day-to-day things like administrative paperwork or finding a student job. If you show up prepared to self-study, handle a tough exam schedule, and take initiative yourself, the career doors TUD opens are huge.

Dresden: Student friendly city.
Tips: I personally did not feel any major cultural shock and got adjusted easily. Many scholarship options are available depending on the course of choice. Very satisfied with the university, the course, the city, and the country. Lots of opportunities.
Likes (Public transportation): Dresden is very well connected via public transportation. Buses, trams, and regional trains are the available modes of transportation. Very affordable, as the semester contribution covers the complete public transportation for the entire semester, so you don't need to pay anything else.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many different cuisines available. Many Indian restaurants with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are open throughout the city. I prefer cooking myself at home. There are also food delivery apps like Uber Eats and Wolt that do doorstep delivery.

If you are looking for an easy full time entry level job market thats not here!!
Tips: I haven't transitioned much culturally. Not much cultural shift; I did not avail myself of any scholarship. Academically, the institute has taught a lot more about academia. I am satisfied with the university and course, be they their projects or topics. They are more inclined towards research, and professors are not friendly towards an industry thesis.
Likes (Public transportation): The tram and bus are all well connected to the university near the main station, so the S-Bahn connects even to the suburbs so quickly. Students get the Deutschland ticket, so it's basically included in your semester contribution, which is also being increased semester by semester but is still affordable.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Getting a visa after a job is very easy, but is getting a full-time job easy? There are very few entry-level openings in my field; they are only hiring people with 5 years of experience. They already have enough junior engineers they don't want any more. More than 40% of students who graduated from my master's study either end up going back to their countries or do a Ph.D., which they didn't plan.

Try it and give it a shot. May feel scary and difficult but it's a one in a lifetime opportunity.
Tips: Yes, cultural shock and, of course, the German language (Deutsch). You can learn it over here as well, and it's smooth. Yes, I am with DAAD Scholar, and I got it via recommendations, and it is about 1000€. Very satisfied with my university and the course and the region as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Restaurants are varied, from Asian, Western, and Middle Eastern foods to, of course, European food. I prefer cooking, as you can save lots of money, and you can eat outside, but it's not sustainable. Make friends and cook; plus, you can also try other food from different regions/countries when you cook together.

Dresden is a hub for the semiconductor industry.
Tips: It is a great opportunity to connect with international students and the research oriented faculty. There are many opportunities to grow at the university in whichever direction you want to go. The curriculum is revised every year to include new courses that are beneficial for students in the long term. Students without prior industrial experience can also gain experience through working student roles at the university and research institutes. Students who secure a good GPA of 9 and above (Indian grading system) can apply for scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university and the opportunities it provided me to learn, explore and grow. The course is quite good and you have access to industrial tools to get good exposure during the masters programme. This helps you in getting internships and other rules while studying. Germany is quite welcoming and I am happy to be here.
Likes (Post study jobs): The university is located in Saxony state in Germany. There are a lot of opportunities in the semiconductor domain as there are multiple startups, university spinoffs and MNCs. Dresden is a hub for the semiconductor industry as it plays a pivotal role being part of Silicon Saxony. Analogue and digital design, verification, research and semiconductor technology related jobs are available once you complete the masters programme in Nanoelectronic systems. Salary packages vary from company to company, roughly between 50,000 - 75,000 per annum. Salary is negotiable based on your skill set and experience in the domain in which you will be working.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking food myself as there are less options in finding Indian cuisine. It is quite expensive to have food from restaurants while you are in student. There are restaurants providing Italian, Mexican, Greek, Indian, Asian and other European cuisines. Rates vary from restaurant to restaurant, depending on the dish you order. A dish can cost you anywhere between 5-30 roughly.

A life changing opportunity
Tips: The university is really good; you can meet and get knowledge from some great professors from all over the world. But in terms of studies, students really need to work hard, and sometimes that can be challenging along with all other responsibilities, so please prepare yourself before. Do not rush for any odd jobs if they are not really urgent; instead, try to get a work-study in your field of study because most of the students make this mistake and end up wasting their time.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I really rate the faculty highly because they’re incredibly approachable whenever you get stuck or need help with a complex topic. The lecture style took me some time to get used to—it’s quite rigorous right from the start—but it clicks after a few weeks and makes a lot of sense. Another massive benefit is the sheer diversity of the staff; you’re being taught by professors who bring in global research experience from entirely different parts of the world.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are mostly available for courses that consist of mandatory internships but are hard to get if they're voluntary. Sometimes you might end up getting internships, but they last for only 3 months, and it's very difficult to get them, as the competition is too high.
