M.Sc. Chemical and Energy Engineering - Batch of 2024

4.4

Supportive campus environment.

Tips: It was a bit easier for me as my cousin was also staying in the same city as I was. So I was ahead in everything and was aware of what to do, when to do and how to do. I haven't availed of any scholarships. I am liking this country in many ways but I still prefer my homeland. If given a chance, I have to settle down somewhere else besides India; it surely will be Deutschland.

Compared to Indian Institutes, German Public Universities are far better.

Tips: There are a few scholarships that are available. We can apply for them and get financial aid. I am very much satisfied with my university, with a very good number of International students, sharing cultures, etc. If you have a chance to come, then you can definitely choose Germany.

Master of Science In Data and Knowledge Engineering - Batch of 2025

4.4

Overall, it's a university with the best ROI in Germany.

Tips: Finishing a degree in 2 years is very rare. Everyone takes more than 2 years to finish the degree. It is not easy with a job and all. But I was good at tech so I found a full-time senior engineer job before finishing my course. The course is very good, there are some restrictions and guidelines pertaining to degree buckets. You might have to study some courses in order to just meet the degree requirements, even if you are not interested.

Likes (Student Life): Magdeburg is very affordable. In 300 Euros, you will find a room even in 2026, the cheapest among all the cities. The university organizes job fairs and other events. You can't ask for more for the price. IKUS is a community funded by the university which organizes various events. But there are no part time jobs available without German language.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are great but their teaching style is very different from India. Don't expect the same. Faculty uses the slide theory method which bears very basic information, but the real learning happens from Ubung classes. The teaching faculty is pretty diverse but students are mostly Asian.

Master of Science in Digital Engineering - Batch of 2024

4.1

Research oriented, and supportive.

Tips: Knowing the German language is always helpful to survive and have a good social life. It's also easy to get a job based on language proficiency. Before starting this study course, it's also good to know programming and its basics. There is an option of scholarship; however, I did not take one.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport connectivity is good for daily travel. Ticket prices are included in the semester contribution. Now the monthly pass to travel with regional transport all over Germany is also possible, the price of which is also included in the semester contribution.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part time options, in general are limited to language proficiency. If you are able to speak German then there are more options. As a student, 20 hours per week in part time is quite manageable. The studies are more demanding as it's a technical university.

OVGU always welcomes a big group of international students and takes care of the academic forum.

Tips: Students should know about document formalities, city registration and everything related to documentation. No racism exists. It is safe for day and night, people from not just India, but other countries too can roam safely with no hesitation. They can make friends and enjoy their time here after prioritising their studies and academic growth to get a job.

Dislikes (Internships): Students get proper guidance. There were different e-job fairs to attend and get exposure to our field. Also, there were consultancies to work with. But, the German language is really very important to study at all times, including at least B2 German.

Rediscover yourself! Study in Germany.

Tips: What might be interesting is that one needs to take care of the initial days until one gets their own accommodation. Often, there are situations when people don't get accommodation until the first weeks of arrival; this is something very normal for candidates studying in German universities.

Likes (Value for money): The study is free for students from abroad. So simply speaking, in the tuition fee, the public transportation is included. So one doesn't really pay anything for education. The only expense is accommodation and food. This is true basically for most of the German universities.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Less vegetarian options and the food is unfortunately very tasteless, so you need to prepare your own food. For Indian taste, it is a very problematic situation. So it is suggested that you have your own cooking skills and cook your own food. This makes life easier.

How long does it take the OVG University to process my application?

Answered 3 weeks ago

It takes 10 weeks for Uni-assist to evaulate and send the application to OVGU. The university then takes another 4 to 6 weeks to process the application. Indian students are therefore advised to apply early to study at OVGU Germany.
