FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg: Germany's #1 innovator
Tips: Transition is in general a character build-up that Germany does to you. It makes you take ownership of your own career with your own responsibilities. That itself is a big cultural shift. From taking care of your personal lifestyle needs to taking care of your studies and then part-time jobs, the level of independence and ownership that you are supposed to take, for example, preps, assignments, projects, and thesis—it's a wide range of spectrum.
Likes (Value for money): There was zero tuition fee in my course. Hence, the value for money in terms of the expertise that can be gained with little investment is, of course, highly positive. Currently the job opportunities are a bit fewer in the market for students, especially relevant technical ones. Otherwise, a high positive value for money is there.
Dislikes (Internships): The majority of the courses do not have a "mandatory internship," which becomes a problem for being hired as an intern because the majority of internship opportunities are for mandatory interns. There are sufficient available internship opportunities relevant to my study program in industry and academia, both.

International Exposure with strong academic and research opportunities.
Tips: Before coming to FAU, be ready to take 100% ownership of your studies. Professors won't check up on you, so managing your own study schedule and prepping for Klausuren (exams) well in advance is essential. Outside the classroom, Germany—and the Erlangen-Nuremberg region in particular—offers a great quality of life. The VGN transport network makes commuting between campus buildings and neighboring cities effortless, and the local industry ties give you solid career prospects once you settle in.

A Rewarding Journey of Academic Growth and Cultural Adaptation in Germany.
Tips: The academic culture shock coming from India to Germany is real. At FAU, self-study is everything—you are responsible for managing your own time and mastering lecture material independently. Juggling daily cooking and chores on top of your coursework feels overwhelming for the first month, but everyone adapts quickly. Financially, there is no scholarship for me, but the student Semesterticket cuts down monthly transit expenses significantly across the VGN region. I'm really happy with my choice—FAU offers fantastic education standards and a very welcoming setup for international students.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5/5 because living between Erlangen and Nuremberg feels completely secure, even late at night. The VGN public transport network—buses, night lines, and S-Bahns—runs smoothly and feels safe to take alone after dark. In Erlangen especially, everyone bikes everywhere at all hours without any hassle. The streets and train stations are well lit, people are generally helpful if you ever get lost, and I’ve honestly never felt unsafe or run into trouble while out in the city.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany offers an excellent fast-track pathway to permanent residence within two years for local university graduates. While I would love to settle here permanently due to the high quality of life, the intense bureaucracy and heavy language barriers make the actual process quite challenging.

FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg: Holistic education hub in the heart of technology and innovation.
Tips: The education here promotes a hands-on approach of understanding, learning, and applying your theoretical knowledge via various opportunities. FAU recently started a tuition fee, but back then it was a tuition fee, so the new students should take finances into account while preparing for FAU.
Likes (Part time work): Erlangen and the nearby region of Franconia provide ample opportunities for all disciplines. The university itself promotes students to do part-time research work, jobs, projects, and thesis work. Several companies have their HQs providing opportunities for students. Part-time jobs are manageable, and I was able to sustain my living expenses while studying my master's.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave internships a low rating because in Germany, finding a position is 100% on you. FAU will post openings on job portals or host career fairs, but the university isn't going to place you anywhere. If you're targeting a specific niche or specialized science field, you have to do all the legwork yourself—hunting down openings on LinkedIn or company career pages, tailoring CVs, and handling endless applications solo.

Academic Rigor, Vibrant Life, and Profound Personal Growth
Tips: It was very easy for me to get adjusted here; we have FAU buddies who will help us initially to know about course, subjects, and exam registration information. But we have to register for the FAU Buddy program. The education style was a bit different, but I could adapt easily. Culturally, I had made international friends, and we studied together, which helped me understand different cultures. There are many scholarships we can apply for, but I didn't need one as I have a working student job, which helped me for my allowances. I am very much satisfied with my university, the course, and the country. I am shaped in a better way after completing my master's, and I am very happy for my personal development.
