BSc in International Business Information Systems (International Business Information Systems, Double Degree) - Batch of 2029
4.0
A peaceful campus in small town - Great for focused students.
Tips: The transition to Germany and HFU was quite smooth for me overall. The people here are welcoming, and the campus environment is calm and focused. The life here is much more independent—you manage everything on your own, groceries, paperwork, etc. I did not avail myself of any scholarship. So be prepared to manage your expenses on your own, and do that wisely. The university and course are okay for me. The course is structured, and international exposure is valuable. But this is a small town, so if you enjoy the big-city life, that might take some adjustment. Overall it is a good stepping stone if you are clear about your goals.
Likes (Safety): As for me, I have not faced any bad experiences here regarding safety. Germany is known for its strict safety standards, and as a girl, I feel very safe here, even at nights. So if you want a late-night break or late-night library study session, you can definitely have them without any hesitations.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Living up here in Furtwangen is a massive adjustment because the town is honestly tiny. If you're craving proper food from back home, you can completely forget about finding it anywhere nearby—you literally have to make a whole trip out to bigger cities like Freiburg or Stuttgart just to hit up a decent international grocery store.
Because of that, pretty much everyone on campus defaults to cooking their own meals, which is honestly a lifesaver for your budget anyway. You can grab all your basic, everyday ingredients from the local supermarkets in town but for anything specialized, you just learn to get creative or wait until your next city trip.

One amazing journey that ever happened in my life.
Tips: Umm, I’d say yes, there are few cultural differences. But you’ll get adjusted to it. No scholarship. Very much satisfied with the course, university, lectures, and professors. Students across this university are also friendly. I’m happy and would give it 5/5.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Changes are good and nice, as long as you satisfy the requirements. I’m not sure if I’ll obtain the PR or not. Too soon to comment on that. Again, how fast you get your PR or any other status depends on that local city foreign office. Overall, the process is slow but good.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Well, the city is quite small, around 12k people. The city just has buses to travel around. There are no trains and S/U-bahns. However, the buses are frequent and punctual. Affordable - when you buy the Deutschland ticket. No trains after 11 PM at night.

Parties, fest and job fair.
Tips: They should know their motive first and choose the course that is in their best interest. There are scholarship options available. I am satisfied with the course as it MET my objective. Most of the students are from other countries, so it's good to get some international exposure. The teaching and professors are high class with great knowledge. So it would be the best experience for anyone if they chose their course rightly.
Likes (Value for money): The course is totally worth the money since it has good value and content. Back in India we won't get this at this price. Since this university is affiliated with SAP, you will get to play along in the SAP software and learn from the firsthand experience from the very people who were working with SAP.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no nearby groceries or Indian restaurants available. The nearest one is 1.5 hrs from Furtwangen. The Indian restaurants are highly priced here. It can take up to a minimum of 30 to 35 euro for one-time meals; again, it depends on the restaurant you go to. I eat outside once a week or month, as cooking is the more sustainable option for any student.

Master of Science in Smart Systems (SMA) - Batch of 2024
4.3
Country side life in German university is peaceful.
Tips: Since the town is almost located in the countryside, there are many cultural differences compared to the city side. One thing is German language, we will get the opportunity to learn quickly.
I did not avail of any scholarships because I did not do any research on those things due to a lack of time management.
I am almost very satisfied with the university, course and the country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculties from the smart systems are very helpful in the entire course of study. I have no complaints when it comes to this topic. The faculties are approachable to any level to understand the topics they teach.
The unique methodology that I found interesting was the assignments given by different professors. All the assignments were unique and interesting to solve. The assignments were posted online to complete sometimes and even the questions were different for all the students given by some professors.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on campus part time jobs are not a problem for students who are interested in HiWi jobs under any professors. But the off-campus jobs are highly impossible to get in this town. You need to travel at least 30 minutes or sometimes 90 minutes (to the nearest big city) depending on the job location. But as per my experience, I suggest the students do jobs under professors.

Wonderful college with friendly professors
Tips: For me, except for the language barrier everything was nice. There was no cultural shift that I experienced because if you have a strong cultural background then you cannot be changed. There are not many scholarships available that the university provides. I'm fairly satisfied with my university.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for the course offered by my university is not too high from my perspective since I'm studying in a government-aided university but the living expenses are somewhat high. The private university tuition fee is more when compared with government-aided one.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no restaurants that offer food from our country in my residence, but we can get the ingredients and cook ourselves. If we want to have food from our country then we can visit nearby big cities which offer food from different countries.

Nice university with best faculty.
Tips: Learn the German language it's very important. No part time if we don't know the basics. The university faculty members are nice and friendly. But the academics are stressful with a lot of assignments and tasks. Hardly a few subjects have a written exam but they are tough as the university expects a different style of answering and no spoon feeding is done. Just a PPT and you need to figure out your academics. There will be presentations done by students, which are also part of your exam syllabus so you need to catch up on that as well.
Likes (Safety): Even at 12 in the night, it's safe to walk. People party till 3 am in the morning and reach their accommodation safely. The citizens here respect each other. There is no need for security in the university as well as the citizens are well behaved and mind their own business.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have still not graduated, so no idea. But few of my seniors are struggling to get post study job due to a language barrier and the job market. It's difficult to get into any kind of job and after you apply to 1000 applications only you will only be landing one.

For Indian students, Hochschule Furtwangen University acceptance rate is 20%. University is very selective for admission with acceptance rate of just 20%. This shows that university is very selective at time of admission. Indian students should have good academic record to study at HFU. UG students
