Masters in Physics - Batch of 2027

4.5

An invigorating experience.

Tips: Physics at Heidelberg is prestigious but demands total academic independence. That is, there is no spoon-feeding, and one must manage their own exam schedules along with their classes. Advice would be to start your housing search months before you arrive here, as the market is tough. Also, learn basic German before arriving. The Sunday shutdown was a massive shift from India's hustle. I also had to adapt to German directness, which is efficient rather than rude.

Likes (Part time work): On-campus HiWi are easy to get by, especially in the experiential sector. It isn't easy to manage studies along with HiWi, but it also largely depends on the major that a student is planning to take. The average payout may depend on the task as well as the funding of that particular group, which might be between 300-600 euros. There are also mini-jobs available for students, which are also a good option to consider.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are hard to find and also super expensive. I usually cook at home because all the necessary ingredients are easily available at the supermarket or Indian stores. Although there are places around that host Indian buffets for affordable prices, and also, there are also communities that engage in making Indian food.

MSc in Scientific Computing - Batch of 2026

4.5

Challenging course with a good learning environment.

Tips: The coursework can be intensive and might require effort to perform well. I was also offered a scholarship by the university to which I had applied. As for Germany, I am still getting used to the culture and language.

Likes (Internships): As the university has a good reputation, it is possible to get a good internship. The university also offers internships to work inside some of the labs of the university. These internships will be dependent on the field of your study and you will be selected on the basis of your expertise.

Dislikes (Student Life): The course offered requires a good amount of self study. There are 2 lectures/course per week and 1 exercise/lec for each course, a student will have 15 hours of lecture/exercise/week and on top of that they have to study on their own to get the best grades. What I enjoyed the most about the college life is what the campus offers. Great library, communal space, variety of food. There are also a lot of clubs on campus to fulfil your interests.

A beautiful adventure awaits.

Tips: Germany is a beautiful country, to begin with, and Heidelberg is the cherry on the top. There aren't many cultural socks I faced while coming from India except that people here are strict regarding the laws and the rules. There are many unsaid rules such as you have to let people offboard before you onboard, you are supposed to carry your ID cards wherever you are travelling etc. I am very satisfied with the course and the country I am in and would ask everyone to definitely check it out as one of your options.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of faculty is top notch especially in Europe, with scientists around the world and professors highly educated and qualified, it is one of the best universities to study in. The teaching methods are similar to what is followed in other European universities but the quality every professor has is phenomenal.

Dislikes (Value for money): For every university in Baden Wurttemberg, an international student from a non-EEA country has to pay a 1500 Euros semester contribution including Indians. This fee is different from the semester fee of 151 Euros and I feel that this is a bit expensive considering the other universities in other states. Also, you have to buy a 27 Euros monthly pass as you do not get a Deutschland ticket at this university.

Heidelberg: An enchanting student city

Tips: Joining the University of Heidelberg was one of the best decisions I took in my life. It's the biggest hub of astronomy in the whole of Germany, with more than 400 researchers working in various fields of astronomy. The university provides a lot of majors to specialize in, which makes it very diverse. One of the university's most attractive features is its very flexible system when it comes to taking courses. The university doesn't impart a fixed curriculum to students; instead, the choice of courses is left to students' discretion. The professors are active researchers who impart lectures while keeping a research mentality in mind. They also respect international students and often advise students to make the most out of university life. They are very approachable, and students can do research assistantships in their group for credit or money. Students can also do various part-time jobs easily without risking their education and can earn a good living. Germany's infrastructure is brilliant which actively supports a fit and healthy lifestyle. Though there is a bit of a housing crisis in Heidelberg, good planning in advance can help deal with this issue. The university also hosts multiple student canteens and a big central library, which are open till 1 a.m. The campus provides multiple sports facilities and classes, including skiing and word-fighting. The city also hosts multiple advanced research institutes like Max Planck Institutes and EMBL, allowing students to get research experience through internships. Heidelberg itself is a small, beautiful student city with a river flowing through the city and multiple scenic trekking routes all around the city. Heidelberg is only a few minutes away from Mannheim, providing brilliant connectivity to the rest of Germany and to the majority of the neighbouring countries. This also allows us to explore the rest of Europe during our semester break.

Likes (Safety): Heidelberg is one of the safest student cities in Germany. It has considerably fewer shady places compared to other big cities, and public transport is nice, ensuring safe passage throughout the city. There is a police station at all the major points in the city, and police patrols are regular. Apart from the facilities, the inhabitants of the city are very responsible and caring. I have personally never witnessed a bad situation or crime in my 2 years of living here, and I have also walked freely in the city, even at 2 a.m.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Heidelberg hosts a variety of Indian restaurants ranging from North Indian to South Indian food, which cost 20 euros per person for a good dinner. I prefer cooking myself as I can get all the ingredients very easily, including all the masalas, from the Indian stores and it's cost-effective.

MSc Computer Engineering - Batch of 2027

Good faculty and provide best internships.

Tips: I've got to know this college from a close friend of mine. Initially I found a few difficulties in culture, language, etc, but soon I got habituated to it. I availed a scholarship, I'm completely satisfied with this university and my favourite course and the country is awesome.

Likes (Indian Food): All restaurants are good, but I've tried only about five near the university. The prices are above average and some foods are overpriced. It's okay and worth it if the food is good. I mostly cook with my friend in my room, and we occasionally go out for dinner.

Dislikes (Internships): Professors and seniors guidance was helpful in finding internships relevant to my field of study. Because they are relevant, I developed an interest and performed my internship well, the chances of getting a job at the company are high.
