Johanna’s Gutenberg university is one the best universities in Germany for research based courses.
Tips: My transition coming to Johannes Gutenberg University was very smooth. There was a bit of a cultural shift but the people in Main are very friendly and welcoming to international students. There are plenty of scholarships options provided by the university. I am very satisfied with my university and my course.
