University is known for its best research across Germany.
Tips: The cultural shift is very important in Germany. You have to accept what they are doing and follow the rules and regulations properly. I haven't applied for any scholarship yet as I am managing my expenses through my part time job and I am satisfied with the university's work ethic and supportiveness.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day in lectures or the library at the university. Many seminars, which are important for post study jobs and innovation, are organised in the university but I prefer online seminars only which are available in English. I am not currently involved in any community or student club but if one wants then there are clubs available for it.
Dislikes (Part time work): Currently, part-time jobs are hard to get as there is are many of competition for them but after getting one, you can get around 12.80 euros - 14.53 euros per hour as per the job field. Jobs are easily manageable as you have to set availability 1 week ago and if you have lectures, you can set availability for the evening or else you can leave that spot for others who are free at that time.

The faculty are welcoming and our university has many research-oriented jobs.
Tips: From 2024 onwards, the recession significantly decreased part-time and full-time opportunities, especially in the Automotive domain. Universities have many research-oriented jobs, which are called HIWI, and Erlangen has Schaeffler, Siemens, Adidas, and PUMA companies. The average salary is 12-13 euros per hour which is the minimum wage for internships, for working student jobs it is somewhere between 17-21 euros per hour depending on the company. I did not avail of any scholarships and with an educational loan, I did my blocked account and was able to pay it back in 2 years with my part-time job. Since ours was the first batch I would say I am not completely satisfied with the course however it's improved now. Everyone will experience a different environment and cultural difference.
Likes (Public transportation): With the Deutschland ticket, which is 58 euros per month, with a student discount, I pay 29 euros per month, and it covers almost all kinds of transportation except the ICE, NightJets, and other High-speed trains across Germany. The bus connections across Erlangen and to the university are very good.

Friedrich Alexander University is a wonderful place to study, engage in college activities.
Tips: Before my master's education, I worked at Reliance Industries Limited as an Electrical Reliability Engineer, which provided me with valuable insights into the nuances of Electrical Engineering. Availability of scholarships was difficult since I didn't know about the opportunities. At present, I feel content with my university choice.
Likes (Value for money): Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen is a public University where the semester contribution is nominal, as per the German Education System. The quality of study is excellent and hence the semester contribution is justified. The reason for selecting 5 for value for money is the ratio of educational quality to semester contribution is very high.
Dislikes (Part time work): It has been three months since I joined the university. The current focus area is on studying the concepts and securing excellent grades by grabbing the learning opportunities. The quality of study is excellent at Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen.

Overall good university.
Tips: It’s a research-oriented university. Erlangen is quite an expensive city and finding accommodation is really tough.
It gets quite cold in winter. Finding a work or part time job is not that difficult, so if you intend to do part-time job it’s manageable to live with these expenses.

Great research opportunities
Tips: Visa process and course content for which they are applying and the desired course should cover prerequisites of the course. Always check course requirements. Apply to the university as soon as possible if you want admission. Immediately start looking for accommodation once accepted.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Easy PR process. Minimum 2 years of tax contribution required. After completion of study 18 month work visa can be provided. The salary for post graduate student after completion of course is high. Lower unemployment rate and wide opportunity for professional career.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not enough Indian origin food options in city. There are 2-3 Indian restaurants which provide all types of Indian food but the price is high. Instead of eating outside, I prefer cooking by myself. Egg is almost in every grocery we buy. So less options for vegans and vegetarians.
