Life and learnings at Hof University.
Tips: Initially, adjusting to the culture was challenging as it was my first time being so far from home. However, things became smoother over time. Securing a part-time job and making new friends made the experience worthwhile. There are scholarship opportunities available for students with good academic performance. I am fully satisfied with my course and the university.
Likes (Safety): Mostly, residential areas in Germany are very quiet and calm, and it's very safe to walk around, even at night. I once even forgot my phone on public transport, but I was able to get it back due to the good security. Additionally, Germany offers student discounts on public transportation, which is very beneficial.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian, finding Indian food isn't an issue in Germany, with numerous Indian and Asian restaurants available everywhere. The prices are also reasonable. I eat Indian food about once a month, and it's easy to find all the necessary products to cook Indian dishes.

A close-knit campus with global and creative opportunities.
Tips: The transition to Germany was both exciting and challenging. I experienced a cultural shift mainly in independent and punctual life here, and also in the direct way people communicate, which I've grown to appreciate. I haven't applied for any scholarships yet, but Hof University offers various scholarships like DAAD, Deutschland Stipendium, and other scholarships. Overall, I am very much satisfied with my university as the professors are approachable, the course is well-structured, and the country offers a safe and international environment that allows me to grow both academically and professionally.
Likes (Student Life): There will be regular lectures, seminars, and presentations. The university campus is very calm and serene, offering a good atmosphere for students to study. The library is well-equipped, and the university campus offers various facilities. Regular career-related and community-based events take place at the university. Hof University has clubs for sports, international networking, entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and student representation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are few Indian restaurants but they lack authenticity and are expensive. I would rather prefer trying local cuisines and cooking Indian food at home. There are few supermarket which have a large selection of Indian groceries and frozen items. Also one can go to a nearby larger city like Nuremberg to buy Indian groceries.

Not worth the fees but a good university.
Tips: The university offers the program at a very basic level. I knew all of it when I was studying. They explained in the curriculum that there would be a more in-depth coverage, which didn't happen, which is pretty disappointing. The university has a career service where students can get their resumes reviewed. They will then suggest if any corrections need to be made according to the standards of the hiring managers. Students are expected to find their own internships, and LinkedIn is generally a good place to find advertisements for them.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well-connected, but the bus, the only public transportation option, has low frequency. Buses only arrive hourly, and a semester ticket covers the cost of riding the bus within the city. A person interested in walking a lot will surely enjoy it here.

Practical and industry-oriented.
Tips: This is a very good course. The internship opportunities are excellent and significantly enhance your CV for future full-time positions. The only consideration is the semester fee of 3500 euros. Apart from that, it's fantastic. Before coming to Germany, it's crucial to learn German to at least a B1 level, and having at least two years of experience in India will make life much easier.
Likes (Indian Food): There are various options available both on and off campus. The canteen occasionally offers Indian food, and they also have vegan options. However, since you've come so far, I encourage you to embrace the local cuisine; it's quite good as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are some student assistant jobs, require you to contact different professors. Additional, there are off-campus jobs, but those usually require good German skills. There are also some helping jobs in production facilities that don't require much German.

BEng in Innovative Textiles - Batch of 2025

Helpful teachers, friendly students, and a welcoming culture.
Tips: First of all, students should know basic German, at least A1-A2 level, to interact easily with others and take part in discussions; without it, they may feel left out. They should also be hardworking and punctual to complete assignments and tests on time. I did not receive any scholarship, as my current university had a tie-up with a German university, so I went directly through my college. Overall, it was a very good experience. Germany is technologically advanced, offers great exposure, and the industrial visits added immense value to my learning.
Likes (Student Life): I always felt secure both on campus and in the surrounding areas. The environment is peaceful, crime rates are low, and public transportation is reliable even at night. The university also has good safety measures and support systems for students, which made me feel confident about my well-being.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing good opportunities often depends on your language proficiency. While the education and course were in English, many quality internships require at least A1 or A2 level German. Professors can provide some guidance, but most of the effort has to come from you. Opportunities are available, yet obtaining them relies heavily on your skill set, networking, and initiative.

Limited opportunities but a friendly city.
Tips: Consider the cost of living and have a backup plan if you don't find a part-time job. Learning German is highly beneficial for the German job market. I am satisfied with both the course and the country, as they offer valuable opportunities and learning experiences, not just within the university, but for life in general.
Likes (Safety): There are no cameras, but the city is mostly secure. We have travelled at night many times without any issues. The streets are well-lit, and police vehicles patrol the area. There isn't much noticeable pollution either.
Dislikes (Part time work): There aren't many part-time jobs in the area, as Hof is a small city. To find work, you may need to travel, which is feasible. Part-time work can be managed alongside studies, with an average payout between 113 to 15 euros.
