Master of Science in Robotic Systems Engineering - Batch of 2026
4.1
A plethora of opportunities at a cost
Tips: The course is not free, a separate fee needs to be paid for admission. The average completion time of the course is 3-3.5 years. That excludes any rigorous German language study. Knowledge of the German language is essential to get post-study employment.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is generally down in the tech sector. Over the past 5 years, the market has become highly competitive, and even talented individuals struggle to secure a job. It depends on the city where you study, which determines the density of companies offering roles in your field.

Amazing, Career Oriented, Professional Growth.
Tips: For most of the English-speaking courses, there is a tuition fee. So do not expect to be like a Free Tuition. Learn German to get easy access to the job market (at least B1 level). Scholarships are available for females. I would rate the overall experience very good.
Likes (Public transportation): Semester Tickets are issues by University which lets you access all kind of Public Transport like Buses, Trams, Local Trains etc. The German planning is well known, and hence transportation is very good here. Train delays though most of the time. But transport in cities is quite efficient.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Students can get in contact with faculty members to do their research work, and since RWTH Aachen is one of the TU9 universities, numerous applicants for Jobs have an advantage. However, it does not guarantee a Job but increases chances. Germany is a great place to live, one must appreciate the culture here. Learn German and you can be a permanent part of Germany.

One of the top universities of Germany with high reputation
Tips: Ofcourse there's a culture shift mostly in education system it's different from India and more independent like your studies your responsibility No scholarship for me, so I don't know the university is excellent but also have difficult courses and flexible semesters.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is really good in Aachen city the transportation connects every campus building and about the ticket then students get semester ticket when they pay the semester feels so students can use the public transportation without spending.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Many Indian restaurants with the high prices and do not taste like home country but it's good not worth the price though So I cook myself mostly but many other restaurants with affordable food and good taste is also there including the university canteen.

Life at RWTH Aachen University
Tips: Students should be aware that they've to be independent as much as possible. There's no spoon feeding like India. Professors/ college do the basic/ primary work and mostly its the student who have to shape their path. They've to be very much responsible and accountable.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Mostly attending classes, part times. I enjoy the free time and going to mensa. Since RWTH is once of the biggest technical Universities, there's always something on the late. There are clubs varying from technical to cultural. Events are organized almost everyday. But one should not forget why he or she is here for.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty is great. Professors are approachable anytime. The methodology is very different that from India. And the cohort is diverse which helps for individuals holistic growth. I personally love the facility the university has. The student just has to recognize the opportunities and should know that patience is the key.

RWTH Aachen- Computer science
Tips: Please learn German for integration and also to get better job opportunities. It also gives you more opportunities to join student clubs and socialize with others. Finding Werkstudent jobs and full-time jobs requires German up to a certain level and gives you more options.
Likes (Value for money): The method of teaching is through a practical course- mostly assignments. Practical problem-solving is emphasized; there are some open-book exams, so learn the concepts well. All faculty are European. Main interaction is with the Ph.D. students and sometimes with professors after the lecture period.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since it is a small student city, not many Indian restaurants are available. However, there are 3 Indian grocery stores where you can buy almost all the things we get in India, including exotic Indian vegetables, packaged items, and spices. Some Indian restaurants are there, but not very authentic. So get ready to become a chef.

Great experience. Learned a lot.
Tips: I was an exchange student as a DAAD scholar. The city and college are both very friendly to international students. I had a DAAD scholarship and used to get a monthly allowance of 992 euro also, tuition fee are wavered. Also, we used to get house rent allowance and other benefits. I had a great experience there.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were very knowledgeable. And I learned a lot from them. They held seminars each week and were very helpful. The labs were great and had top research facilities. We also held monthly meetings to discuss what could be improved, and this approach helped us to learn a lot.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I stayed on research internships for 6 months. For this short period of stay, there aren't many options afterwards. Post-study jobs are available generally for who stayed for a longer duration and have German language skills more than B2/C1. I don't have much knowledge about post-study jobs.
