Excellent in academics and one of the top german universities

Tips: Honestly, getting an offer from LMU Munich is a huge deal but you need to be ready for the reality of it. Munich is an incredible city to live in but the university itself doesn't just hand you an amazing social life or easy grades. It’s a massive, traditional German uni, which means you have to be highly independent from day one. If you put yourself out there, your weeks will be packed with exploring the city, hanging out by the Isar, and actually getting to dive into the clubs and activities you’ve always wanted to try. It completely changes your perspective on living abroad. Just don't expect a hand-held campus experience—it’s up to you to chase down the opportunities and make the city feel like home.

Likes (Student Life): As student life is full of everything, there are opportunities for growth and new people and connections from all over the world. Studying here gives you a connection to its great alumni community. You can also go to English Garden very next to the university and have a great time.

Dislikes (Part time work): Yes, even though it’s a very prestigious university, the demand for part-time work is very high, and everyone wants to work in their same field of study. So if you just want to do part-time in any field, I think it's easy to find, and the pay is also very good.

Master of Science in Business Education (Business Education I) - Batch of 2027

4.6

LMU is a world class university with great facilities.

Tips: I think it's very important to be flexible. The tuition fee is cheaper but it's a very expensive deal, I feel. So you would have to accept that money can be an issue. There's a great cultural difference also, Munich people are helpful but generally upfront which can be perceived as rude but they are very direct. Scholarship opportunities are there but they are pretty competitive. I am pretty satisfied with the university, the city and the country. I would like to stay here permanently.

Likes (Value for money): I do think tuition feels is justfied as it's not a lot and the return you get is good. LMU is world famous university, you get good faculty members, and job options. You get student benefits at almost every museum and on public transport. You get deutschalnd ticket discount.

Dislikes (Part time work): I feel there are quite a lot of possibilities for part time jobs. Sometimes it can get hectic to manage studies and jobs both but doable. You get at least minimum wage everywhere which is around 12 euros per hour. I am not very sure about the on campus opportunities but off campus there are a lot of opportunities in cafes, in the football stadium.

Master of Science in Economics - Batch of 2025

4.2

There are different types of work visas based on the field.

Tips: Coming from India, there is a cultural shift that atleast I experienced, in terms of the environment in universities in India and here. Since there are no tuition fees at LMU for most of the courses, the scholarships are limited. There are organisations that offer scholarships but have requirements such as language proficiency among others. I availed a merit based scholarship after my first year based on my grades wherein I got 650 euros for 5 months for one semester. My course was highly academic and rigorous and comparably at par with other top universities offering Economics at Masters level. The university always had an atmosphere that pushed me in every way to better myself, be it doing better in exams or participating in extra-curricular activities such as exchange programs, seminars and projects. I was more than satisfied with my choice of course, university and country.

Likes (Student Life): There are many groups, clubs and communities that one can join ranging from sports, academics to recreational. Regarding the events that are organised on the campus, there are many faculty organised events, for example, industry oriented projects, career fairs, guest lectures and seminars. There are also other community events such as semester parties, university fests and sports events. There is always something happening.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Although the course is offered in English but for good job prospects, post degree, it’s very important to have German language proficiency at least B1-B2. There are jobs that are in English but very few and highly competitive. In Germany, it is generally not required for companies to offer sponsor visas for work. If you are successful in getting an offer, you could simply apply for a work visa with the job contract. Important to note here is that there are different types of work visas based on the field; bottleneck professions such as STEM and Medical and salary limits, Blue card salary limits. Job roles and salary packages depend solely on the field of study and the previous experience though working in student positions and internships as a student. MSc Economics graduates usually work in finance, taxes, banking and consulting and ofcourse there are PhD opportunities after the Masters.
