Great university to step ahead in your career.
Tips: The course structure is quite flexible for my course and there are a lot of directions where you can make your way going forward. For example, in the communication domain, robotics, machine learning, etc. Yes, there will be a cultural shift as well that one needs to accept.
Likes (Safety): It's quite safe. The city has a lot of students. The public transport is very nice, and the connectivity is very good. The vibe of the city is quite nice as well. You can find a lot of students nearby as most of the people tend to live in the same city because of the university.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): These days, it's a bit difficult as most of the jobs require experience and there are very few jobs that are entry-level. And because of the current market situation, it's not very easy to get a job. It all depends on your effort to apply for the jobs.

MSc Computational Engineering - Batch of 2025

Reputed Research oriented, one of the best Universities of Germany
Tips: Best university for research-oriented courses. Learned professors, you will get good support for academics. Getting into university is difficult, and you need a good score in your previous studies. Courses are competitive, so only apply if you really are coming to study! Otherwise, people who do not take the course seriously will not be accepted. I am really satisfied with the course, university, and country overall.
Likes (Student Life): College life was fun, you get to make many good friends. You have a library right in the city centre where you can go for self-study if you are looking for a place outside of your room. There are student clubs for robotics and college-level 'BAJA-type' clubs. There are many others that you can get to know based on your interests.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Mostly people after this course tend to take up PhD, which is usually sponsored by university. Usually, you will earn 60,000 € annually. The job market in Germany overall is difficult, so it takes time to get a job in industry. You can expect a starting salary of 60,000-65,000 € after post graduation.

My uni is good and all you need is good German skills and hard work
Tips: Yes Germans won't accept immigrants; university is tough Getting scholarship is bit hard, not so easy Especially in my state, Bavaria, it is a bit hard for new people. You can see a lot of culture here, so it is better not to visit the southern part of Germany. The uni is good, but you need to work hard.
Likes (Safety): So all over Germany is safe except for big cities like Frankfurt and Berlin When I went to Food All Match, you will feel unsafe and there are more racist people; please kindly avoid going there A good experience is that Germans are very helpful and kind people.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently, we have no part-time jobs; the market is too slow now and very hard for everyone Very few companies sponsor visas. They are all looking for the medical field currently, so all the IT people, please do not come here; it is very hard now and requires learning a language.

A great learning experience at FAU Erlangen.
Tips: Before attending FAU Erlangen, the students need to prepare themselves for self-study, budgeting, and coping with the German culture and lifestyle. Staying in Germany was an enriching experience due to the various aspects of culture, including being punctual, having a direct form of communication, and leading an independent lifestyle. On a general note, I was happy with the university and the course as well as the opportunities that Germany has provided me.
Likes (Safety): I spent my day at FAU Erlangen participating in classes, studying, doing homework, and socializing with friends. My favorite thing about university life was the diverse setting, the people from diverse cultures, and the learning process both inside and outside of the classroom. There were a lot of events and cultural activities organized by the university, as well as sports and musical clubs that students could join. I joined when I had free time, as it helped me socialize with other students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is bad right now. The university does not have any placement services, job searches and applications have to be done on your own. Companies do not sponsor visas for work, they have to apply on your own after having a job offer. Job roles depend on one's profile. For engineering roles, salaries start around 40,0000€ yearly.

MSc in Marketing (In German) - Batch of 2024

More than a University, A Global Experience
Tips: Before joining FAU, students should know that the university has a rigorous academic environment with a strong focus on independent learning, so it helps to start accommodation and visa formalities early. My transition was smooth overall, and the biggest cultural shift was adapting to Germany's punctuality, independence, and structured way of life. I did not avail of any scholarship during my exchange semester. Overall, I am very satisfied with FAU, my course, and Germany, as the experience provided excellent academic exposure, an international learning environment, and valuable personal growth.

The university is in itself one of the best for the chosen course of study.
Tips: Knowledge of German is an almost must-have. The presence of Siemens in the city makes it easier for students to get a job, provided they know all the right documentation before coming here. Sometimes consulting an education and transition counselor helps, and I also help with this.
Likes (Public transportation): The city of Erlangen is extremely well connected via public transport. Be it local trains, buses, or in the nearby adjoining cities by the metro or U-Bahn, as they call it here. The Deutschland ticket makes it easier to avail any kind of public transport except the ICE trains.
Dislikes (Internships): In Germany, you have to find such options on your own, and it has nothing to do with the university. More than internships, people tend to lean more towards part-time or student jobs known as HiWi. Internships are often unpaid or overworked, and that stresses your studies.
