Excellent Research Opportunities and High-Quality Education at CRTD, TUDresden
Tips: Weather is something that was very new to me. It didn't snow so heavily in Dresden in the winter during my first year, Sep 2025 to Sep 2026. It was definitely manageable! Deutschlandstipendium is one of the very few scholarships available for Indians without any German proficiency Certificate (I might have missed some, still, do check on your own for other available scholarships). In addition to this, there are a couple of other scholarships that I heard people have received (DAAD-STIBET; PROMOS; GFF) towards the completion of a Master's degree. Usually, people manage their living expenses by doing a skilled/un-skilled part time jobs. Highly satisfied! The description mentioned on the programme website reflected the actual truth. The lectures were great! It's the first time I experienced this - for a single module, more than 20 professors delivered lectures. For example, SCD modules had 23 different lectures, and it was delivered by 23 professors. It was great to learn the concept from people who are experts and carrying out research in that same domain. Everyone was friendly to approach after lectures for a quick-talk/networking/quick-chat for an internship or lab rotation opportunities. I think knowing and speaking German might give a whole new experience. With English, one can live at a pace within campus as everyone would speak English, but outside campus, it's all German.
Likes (Internships): As part of Programme 2, mandatory lab rotations are required. BIO-POLIS Dresden has a lot of research labs, so getting a lab shouldn't be a problem. However, getting into the lab of choice is a little tricky and is possible by reaching out early/meeting the PIs in talks on campus. Uniklinikum is close to CRTD and has a lot of labs too. Getting an unpaid research position is relatively easier than getting an SHK/WHK - just email group leaders 3 to 3.5 months before the start date (2 months should also do, but getting the desired lab might get tricky then).
Dislikes (Part time work): SHK/WHK positions are available for students on campus, where students can assist research groups by carrying out assigned tasks. This falls under skilled labour and will be an add-on to your CV, but the competition is crazy. The intake to this programme has increased to around 60 students per year from around 20 students per year previously. Being ahead of time and submitting multiple applications will help you get a SHK/WHK. At times, working in a lab without getting paid for about 3 months, proving ourselves, can open up SHK/WHK offers (if there is funding in the lab).

TU Dresden - Computational Modelling and Simulation
Tips: The indian community of Dresden is strong and will help new students move in. I applied for the SECAI and Deutschland Stipendum scholarship but did not get either of them. The university is big, the course is specific and has mandatory modules, which makes it difficult, and the country is nice for the salary, but the people are not friendly.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connections all across the city. One can take buses, trams, and trains. The semester contribution includes 6 months of tickets for all regional transport across Germany. Most buses run at a frequency of 2 times per hour, which is not a lot, but manageable.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Limited faculty, and Teaching style is very personal to them and not tailored to the subject taught. Mandatory courses make the course difficult to pass. Mostly, all teachers are from Germany, with very few exceptions. All pros. Use slides to teach and give material to prepare.

Great value and strong academics in TU Dresden
Tips: The courses at my university are challenging and require time and effort. Also, the course duration for a master's is generally 2 years. But approx. 90-95% of students will take 1-2 semesters mores. This is very normal in Germany. Apart from this, the city is amazing.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity is amazing, especially for commuting to the university. Trams and buses run frequently and cover the entire city well. Public transportation is also available at night, which is a huge plus. The Deutschland ticket makes it very affordable for students which is covered in your semester fees.
Dislikes (Internships): Relevant internships exist in Dresden's strong research and industry ecosystem, especially at in the semiconductor sectors and multiple research institute. However. most listings require German proficiency, which limits options for international students still learning the language. Finding the right opportunity is largely dependent on the student's own effort.

The campus you saw in the movies
Tips: Cultural rich campus, you'll get used to students studying in the library by the day and having beers and barbeques along the elbe by the night, fun life. Many scholarship opportunities, fill out applications, write your LOM and submit. Study hard and enjoy harder.
Likes (Value for money): TU Dresden has an amazing name and faculty here is quite knowledgeable. There is no tuition fee, we pay for a semester deutschland ticket and for student welfare association. It quite affordable to study here. Even living cost is less than other cities.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are multiple job fair throughout but you need to know the language (Deutsch) for better job opportunities. I have recently started a working student but try to set up your timetable such as you can juggle both. Students usually get around u20ac16-20/hour.

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.
