Practical Learning Experience with Good Career Opportunities
Tips: Before coming to FAU, the biggest reality check you need to prepare for is just how radically different the German university system is compared to India. Back home, you're used to a lot more structure, clear syllabi, and professors keeping you on track. Here at FAU, you are entirely on your own. The professors are definitely knowledgeable and will give you the basic roadmap during lectures, but they will absolutely not spoon-feed you. You’re expected to teach yourself the actual depth of the concepts, stay on top of massive reading lists, and take full ownership of your assignments from day one. There are no internal marks or constant quizzes to force you to study throughout the semester. Everything usually rides on one massive final exam at the very end, which catches a lot of Indian students off guard. If you slack off at the beginning thinking you can just cram in the last two weeks, you will fail. Procrastination is a death sentence here. You genuinely have to build strict self-discipline and micromanage your own time right from the first week just to keep your head above water.

MSc Advanced Optical Technologies - Batch of 2022
4.1
Multicultural university in a beautiful international town
Tips: The university is full of opportunities, but you have to find them out. The course is very helpful. Choose your internships and projects intelligently with a proper future plan. Important advice: In Germany, German language skills are very important. Without language skills, it is easy during student life but becomes difficult to crack the job market in German industry. So, take it seriously and improve your German level up to B2 or C1 over the course of your studies.
Likes (Value for money): There is no tuition fee for this course or for most of the courses here in this university. You have to pay a small amount for semester fees (120€ - 130€) for the student union and discounted public transport. Regional public transport (and DeutschlandTicket) is included in the semester fee.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Job roles offered are good. But the problem is current job market is down. Sometimes industrial internships help moving to full-time industry jobs, but that is also not guaranteed. If someone wants to stay in academia (pursuing Ph.D. and further), the options are more than industry jobs. In addition, the university funds are also being cut down due to overall economic crisis.

Very academic oriented, but not so happening socially.
Tips: The quality of education is very good. You get maximum depth in any subject you choose to study. Professors and tutors are helpful and friendly, as per my experience. Assignments are not so easy, but really helps to enhance our knowledge. Totally, a simple and easy going university.

College was good and fun.
Tips: I transitioned a lot. I changed my week of studying and a lot of cultural shifts. I did not avail in his scholarship and I am satisfied with the university, course and country though the course curriculum could be a little better but it's fine.
Likes (Indian Food): They had an Indian week in the canteen and Indian food was much wanted by everyone and even if not an Indian week they had enough options for food which were budget friendly and healthy. The food was tasty and many canteens were there.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market wasn't supported at all in teaching industry-required skills. They said skills change every five years, so it's up to you. There were no placements from the university, either part-time or full-time.

The university is very big and professors are very kind and helpful.
Tips: It is not necessary that you settle here. There are multiple factors. You need to have a good job and have good knowledge of German too. You need to find a job by yourself and the university will not help in this case so you need to be independent.
Likes (Indian Food): There are lots of options to eat but in the veg section. You will find something that has an Indian taste. But all the foods that I have tasted were very good. They are also cheap for students so you can buy them at a less price. But in the supermarket, you find multiple options and also there are lots of Indian markets.

Transitioning into Progressive Academia
Tips: There is definitely a cultural shift, but Germany allows you to be more professional and efficient with work-life balance. I had the Max Planck Scholarship, the Femtec Women Career Scholarship, and the graduate last semester scholarship. I am quite satisfied with my course, especially since it is quite rigorous. The country is fine; it can vary personally how your expectations align with what the country has to offer.
Likes (Indian Food): Erlangen and Nuremberg have a lot of Indians, and therefore we have a lot of options for restaurants and grocery shops where you can get almost everything that you can think of, except for endemic spices or ingredients. The pricing is usually 20-30 euros per person in. Outing, and for groceries, it can vary a lot based on how much Indian cooking one prefers. I prefer cooking for myself, and my monthly Indian food grocery bills are usually 50 euros.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The companies can sponsor the visa; that is not a problem, but for international students, the market is not the most permissive since it requires language eligibility as well as specific skills that a lot of students struggle with. Within my course, most people opt for a Ph.D.; therefore, academia provides them the umbrella of staying employed and continuing post-master's.
