Tips: I experienced some culture shock, the course was academically advanced and practically challenging. I received a Deutschland scholarship. Since there is no tuition fee and public transportation is covered in the semester fees, overall I am satisfied with my university and studying in Germany.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not so many Indian restaurants around. I prefer cooking at home, but sometimes going out can be good if there a re indian options. Had a to travel a bit to go to indian restaurants, but this was 3 years ago, now there are more restaurants in Erlangen.

Learning to enjoy academia beyond exams and placements: getting a master's degree in FAU Erlangen
Tips: 1. You have to manage everything by yourself. In India, students usually get to dedicate all of their time to studies, and in general there isn't much of a practice of simultaneously working elsewhere for income. Abroad, you have to work part-time alongside studies, manage your own living (do weekly groceries, cook your own food, clean your house, manage your finances, pay bills on time). And you have no break from these duties. So we can't really study all day as we can in India. So it is extremely necessary to have excellent time management skills, otherwise, it can get very difficult to live day to day. 2. Culture-wise, Germans are more introverted and quiet-loving people than Indians. They don't encourage small talk as much. And their directness can be hard for us to understand sometimes. Having said that, they are very simple, rule-abiding people. So there is very little ambiguity in their communication. They are not afraid to speak their mind, so it is important for us to also be very straightforward in communication with them. Don't tell them "I'll SEE what I can do" or "I'll think about it" if you really mean to say "No, I can't do this. They don't mind. 3. I am not that aware of scholarships. The most I know is that Max Planck schools offer scholarship programs. You can always ask your course coordinator/university interview board about scholarships during the interviews. 4. It is okay to take longer than the stipulated number of semesters to complete your degree. Nobody cares about things like this. The point of studying here is knowing the subject material. If you repeat an exam, that's also fine, infact it's sometimes a really good thing.
Likes (Value for money): Yes. The coursework is interesting, you get to interact with amazing professors and alumni, and the thesis or internship projects are very interesting and worthwhile. The university is introducing tuition fees from 2027, though, and they could be anywhere between 2000-6000 euros per semester. So it might make it less accessible for many students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently, the job market is tight in all avenues. I am not sure about sponsor visas, as my specific focus is on Ph.D. and research. My seniors and friends are also mostly in the Ph.D. line of work. In general, research tends to pay slightly less than industry roles. However, there are more employment opportunities when the candidate is fluent in German (most places now ask for at least a B1 or B2 level of language skills).

Great University and City: Watchout the downtime for shops.
Tips: For me it was pretty simple in the transition as I have already lived before in Germany. However, the city is really quiet and shops gets close at 8pm dot. In Bavaria, things get close very early so that is something I hate. I have applied to few scholarships and I am expecting their replies currently. Overall good experience till today.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Student Life in Germany is great thanks to a better crowd than in NRW. Finding good friends is easy here, and the campus keeps you connected with plenty of clubs and communities to join. I have had a crazy experience till today, I would like to recommend my university to everyone!
Dislikes (Internships): That's because I was able to reach the Coordinator of the programme before getting admitted. She was very polite and sweet! She politely answered my questions and is still very easily available. The faculty is very international and has mixed nationalities.

My experience at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg
Tips: The city is student-friendly, but I would strongly emphasize learning German before you arrive. Would make the social life and job hunt much easier. Classes and academics should not be taken lightly, as the examinations tend to check the grasp of the subject thoroughly.

A good acedemic journey: High caliber Research Meets a Driven, Competitive Environment
Tips: Book accommodation a month or so in advance, because it can sometimes be difficult to find somewhere to stay in Erlangen/Nuremberg. Also, you must speak some German, at least at the B1 level, so you have some idea of what’s going on there, otherwise, you can get very confused by the constant babbling going on around you. You will need to be very self-disciplined because getting around on public transport requires some effort since shops are closed on Sundays. The courses, education, research, and job opportunities at the university are great, but the exams can be really challenging, and accommodation is expensive.
Likes (Safety): Erlangen consistently ranks among the safest cities in Germany. Violent crime is virtually nonexistent, and the general environment is calm, orderly, and academic. You can comfortably walk, run, or ride a bicycle through the city or on campus late at night without feeling unsafe.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Lack of Pure Vegetarian Options & Cross-Contamination Finding 100% vegetarian restaurants locally is quite difficult. Most general eateries, including local Du00f6ner shops, Italian places, and standard German restaurants, share kitchen equipment, oil fryers, and utensils between vegetarian and meat dishes.

A challenging but satisfying experience!
Tips: FAU as a university is great, especially if you are keen on research. There are lots of good research labs and facilities. The programme prepares you academically rather than practically. The exam period is quite stressful, but there is a lot of flexibility. The onus of finding internships, jobs, etc. Is entirely on you. The job market is getting more and more competitive, especially if you don't speak German!
Likes (Safety): Erlangen is very safe as a city, no complaints at all. I did not face any discrimination, although the caretaker of my building was rather rude. Overall, I never felt unsafe even when I was out late at night. There are support groups in the university if you require help.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The coursework is quite rigorous, sometimes a bit too much. The professors are top-notch, but the emphasis is on lecture-based learning rather than project-based. I found it a bit too theoretical. The exams are not easy, and mostly you depend on self-learning!
