Master of Science in Chemistry - Batch of 2028

4.6

A perfect blend of research, diversity and growth.

Tips: The university provides excellent research facilities and welcoming international environment. Having a senior from my previous master's college here helped me adjust smoothly. The transition was quite comfortable, though in Germany, there are cultural and language differences, but you will enjoy learning. I am a DAAD scholarship holder. It covers my living expenses, health insurance. I had to clear an interview to get this.

Likes (Student Life): I mostly spent my day till 6 pm in the chemical labs. But in between, I spend my day attending lectures. Lunch at mensa and discussion with friends. The campus hosts various events such as research talks, sports activities. I am currently enrolled in badminton and swimming. There are various cultural and sports groups. Particularly, we have a research cluster where 4 universities are doing collaborative research on solvation Science.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook my own meals because it's healthier and much more affordable. But there are a lot of options available for vegetarian and non-vegetarian people to eat in mensa (a dining hall inside the university). Pricing ranges from 4-8 euros per meal. But there are some good Indian and Asian restaurants in and around Bochum.

This university is the right place for someone who really wants to learn.

Tips: This university is the right place for someone who really wants to learn. The professors are very friendly, and you can always approach them with doubts. Be ready to spend quality time studying and study every day; do not push it to the last day before exams. You should understand that only you are responsible for yourself and be proactive. I found my course very challenging, but in the end, it was totally worth the time, effort and money. I didn't avail any scholarships, but I know people who did. So it is possible to get scholarships. You need to make sure that you have good grades. One thing I would suggest to all students coming to Germany is to learn the language.

Likes (Indian Food): I would suggest all students cook for themselves as it is cheaper. I prefer cooking food myself. There are many Indian restaurants and you easily get Indian food. You also have many other restaurants here, Italian, Greek, Turkish etc. Eating outside is a bit expensive, but occasionally it's okay to eat out.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you want to apply for permanent immigration, you have to study well, get a job in your field, and work for 3 years before you can apply. I would also advise you to learn the language. It is very helpful and can make the transition to life in Germany more comfortable. I think that immigrating here is a good idea.

Academically strong, diverse and supportive place to study in Germany.

Tips: Students should know that transitioning from the Indian to the German education system takes about one semester as studies here are more self driven and research focused. I did not receive a scholarship but strong performers often get one from the second year onward. I am satisfied with the university's diverse open environment and with my course which is research oriented and requires students to find internships independently. Germany is peaceful, structured and ideal for those who don't mind could weather and clear bureaucratic processes.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The value for money at Ruhr University Bochum is exceptional. There is no tuition fee and the semester contribution of around 50 includes the Deutschlandticket giving free public transport across Germany. The university offers high-quality teaching, strong research infrastructure and excellent facilities. For the low cost paid each semester, the academic and practical benefits are completely justified.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Part-time work is quite difficult in the beginning. Without good German skills, it is hard to find jobs, so learning German early preferably from the Goethe Institute is important. During the first 6 months after arrival, most time goes into registration, paperwork, and setting down, so there is almost no scope for part-time work. On-campus HiWi jobs usually open only after first-semester results, and even then the competition is very high. Off-campus jobs are available mainly if you speak fluent German. As an alternative, many students work full-time at Amazon during the end-of-year speak season to manage expenses. Average payouts vary but generally range from minimum wage upwards depending on the job.
