MSc in Business Management - Batch of 2024

College is good. All private universities are the same, just look out for fee structure.
Tips: Students should know that public universities would be better to join. Also, learn German before arriving. The university is good and the course is nice. No allowance is provided and no cultural shift is needed. You will have to find your own part-time and internship opportunities. For Indians, the food options are limited, but a healthy lifestyle can be achieved here. It's a good experience, and there are many types of restaurants here, including Asian, Indian, Vietnamese, German and Turkish, which offer a variety of foods. I am satisfied with the university and the country.

The university is on the outskirts of Berlin. Good environment for students to focus on studies.
Tips: When you walk down the street, people will often smile at you and say hello or Guten Morgan which is good morning in German. At first, it's a bit shocking, but you get used to it and it feels nice. When you decide you can do it alone you become very strong and sometimes students might feel homesick and it can really make you fragile at times but for all, it's worth it you'll be successful and can bring your parents abroad with you. I applied early and got a 25% scholarship on the fee structure. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the experiences here.
Likes (Part time work): I have 3 days of lecture a week and the rest days I do my part-time job. I think student life balance is pretty good here this year the average payout changed from 12 to 13 euros.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I cook daily Indian authentic meals because even if you go to Indian restaurants you won't get the proper taste like in India. There are a lot of restaurants though people here prefer donors a lot Turkish wrap and it tastes nice. Start learning how to cook and I believe you would want to have some dal and rice when you are abroad.

An enriching, fast-paced journey in a global environment.
Tips: Before joining Gisma, students should be ready for a fast-paced, international environment that values time management and adaptability. The cultural shift, especially around punctuality and direct communication, has been enriching. The faculty are very understanding and highly educated and helped us throughout the semester. I'm satisfied with my M.Sc. programme, and Germany's opportunities make the experience worthwhile.

A place to start you sustainable career
Tips: Know about the major differences in the country, difference between Hochschule and Private universities. It is often difficult to mix up between regular private universities which don't offer the best education. Choose only and only universities of applied sciences or hochschule that are a bridge between public and private universities.
Likes (Safety): For an MBA degree finishing the accreditation is important. GISMA is AMBA certified and the fee is quite low than their nearest accredited competition. Finding jobs is quite a challenge in Germany if you don't speak the language so keep fees lower to not have the burden post academics. The ROI is under 5 months for my course.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is all germanized, so it is difficult to find authentic food. We need to get it aligned with the chef. I often go to the restaurants that I am aware of and always make my rapport thereby getting the food made as per the desi style. Pakistanis restaurants are way better than regular Indian restaurants.

A Candid Review of Student Life and Learning
Tips: There was no transition per se, as it was just introductory sessions, then classes, exams, thesis, and graduation. It was not a huge cultural shift coming from an international school, but the university provided cultural seminars as well. Depending on the circumstances, the university does provide scholarships to students, as I was offered one. I would say I am pleased with my university, course, and country of choice.
Likes (Post study jobs): Around 30,000+ jobs in Germany provide support for visa and relocation purposes. Some of the available jobs include AI Technician, Full-Stack, Front-end, Back-end, and Cloud Engineer. The salary offered depends on the individual as well as the company, but usually falls in the range of 65,000 to 75,000 euros per year.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants in Berlin, namely India Club, Amrit, Haveli, Aapka, Vedis, Maharadscha, Naveenapath, and Namaste. Food can cost about 15-20 euros, depending on the number of dishes ordered. Depending on the mood and occasion, on average, I eat out 4 times a month and cook at home the rest of the time.

MSc in Data Science, AI & Digital Business - Batch of 2026

I am satisfied with the knowledge i gained but it could have been better.
Tips: At present not much cultural difference, many students came from my country of origin. I am satisfied with the average outcome from the university. The course I took felt like a rush through the subjects, some basics were not covered, and advanced topics were covered, due to which many students faced difficulty understanding many things.
Likes (Safety): I have traveled for my university classes, so been through different cities, the overall safety in Germany is good. The police patrol and the public transport are all safe. You can return from work at midnight without any concerns. In big cities, I heard that one needs to take a few more precautions, but overall it's safe.
Dislikes (Value for money): The study fee is approximately 12 lakhs per year, but the faculty and administration are both downsides. Some professors are good and have an excellent teaching method, but the majority of the professors I had for my subjects were not very good. Also, some subjects were taught, but the related basics were not covered.
