B.Eng. Industrial Engineering and Management - Batch of 2026

3.7

A great place for flexible and independent learning

Tips: Students should know that the university requires self-study, good time management, and self-discipline. The transition was smooth. No, I didn't avail myself of any scholarships. Overall, I'm somehow satisfied with university, the course, and Germany as a study destination.

Likes (Indian Food): Giving Indian food options a 5/5 was a no-brainer because finding familiar ingredients around campus and the city is surprisingly easy. There’s a great mix of local spots—not just Indian, but also Turkish, Asian, and Italian places if you want a change—with eating out usually running between €7 and €14 per meal. That said, as an Indian student at IU, I end up cooking at home most days to keep things affordable and healthy. Getting authentic spices, lentils, and basmati rice is super easy thanks to local Indian and Asian supermarkets nearby, so you can easily recreate home-cooked food whenever you get homesick.

Dislikes (Internships): No good internship opportunities from university. Should work very hard to find internships. Limited guidance and support available. Students mostly need to search and apply independently. The available internships are sometimes relevant to the field of study, but more industry connections and career support would be helpful.

BA in Business Administration and Management - Batch of 2027

4.3

Title would be All rounder- I would rate my Uni 8/10.

Tips: It was actually easy for me; my brother also lives here. And of course, there is a lot of culture shock in literally everything, but nothing that a person cannot adjust to. I did not have any scholarship; I work a part-time job and pay for my tuition fee. Overall, I would choose Germany and this course every time; maybe I would go to a different university only because it's a private university and it's expensive.

Likes (Public transportation): Well, the university is in a great location. The bus connection is right outside; supermarkets are a 5-10 minute walk away for middle-class snacks. And transportation is, of course, free; you can travel anywhere with your DB ticket, which the university gives you. You have to pay for it, of course, but it's cheaper for students.

Dislikes (Student Life): Honestly, I don't go to classes as much as I should, but when I do go, it's normal. I go to classes. We have a university canteen for lunch; we hang out in the university cafe in between classes. Our university has its own bar and cafe, we have student event team so they organize all the fun events like Desi night, Indonesian night, jazz night, etc.

My positive journey in Germany

Tips: If you're planning to join IU in Berlin, you should know that the city itself makes the transition incredibly easy. Moving here as a self-funded student was a big financial step for me, but Berlin is so multicultural and international that I didn't experience any real culture shock at all. Apart from getting over the initial hurdle of the German language in day-to-day life—like dealing with local paperwork—you can easily get by with English since the student community and the city are so diverse. The practical, applied sciences setup at IU is quite solid, but the biggest win of studying here is just how well the city works around you. The public transit system is unreal—between the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and buses, you can get absolutely anywhere in the city at any hour without needing a car. For a self-funded student, having that kind of reliable, integrated transport alongside a welcoming, global atmosphere takes a massive load off your shoulders and makes the whole university experience thoroughly positive.

MBA in Big Data Management - Batch of 2024

4.7

Very good university for an MBA.

Tips: Students should understand that they are going for a higher studies abroad, meaning they are gonna move, stay, study and probably work part-time as well. So the transition is not gonna be easy. Also, it isn't tough given the seriousness of the student to take up the opportunity for moving to pursue higher education. There is learning in every phase of an international student. There are scholarships available but since it's Germany, there will be a lot of paperwork (bureaucracy). I am very satisfied with my university, course and Germany. Also, I received a dual degree from London South Bank University. I am very glad about it.

Likes (Public transportation): Berlin is the capital of Germany. Therefore, you won't find any trouble travelling within the city. The public transportation offers various modes of transport at an affordable rate but students can travel free of cost as their travel is already included in the Semester ticket which is to be paid to the university semi-annually.

Dislikes (Internships): You have limited guidance on finding or applying for internships. Of course, you can go through mentoring and/or using the power of the internet to find and apply relevant internship opportunities in Germany. Yes, there are enough internship opportunities available but I would say that most of them would be in the German language and/or the organisation or nature of the position will demand fluent German language skills to undertake the role.

Average private university.

Tips: About the reputation of the university, its course curriculum and how much faculty support students to find jobs. They offer scholarships at the start if you are taking admission directly without any third parties. I would prefer to go to a public university instead of a private one.

Likes (Public transportation): My university offers a student ticket on which I can use all public transportation for free. There are U-bahn S-bahn and trams in the whole Berlin. You can use anything with a student ticket that which university provides you at cheap prices. Sometimes in winter you will face some issues but not for a long time.

Dislikes (Value for money): As part of a private university, the tuition I am paying isn't worth. All private universities only care about money but after that, you have to face many issues like support from faculty regarding your course problems or anything. The university has one major issue is every process is online. You have to mail just to get in touch with the faculty.
