Master of Science in Management and Engineering in Technology, Innovation, Marketing and Entrepreneurship - Batch of 2026
4.3
Fun, new learning and exciting.
Tips: You will find cultural differences, but most of the students are international, and the majority will be Indian. It is very easy to find local community members. I didn't avail myself of any scholarships. The course is useful and interesting, especially since the professors are good. Fluent German is mandatory for any on-campus jobs. Even to work hard jobs like in a warehouse, a cashier or a restaurant, you need to know the language, and some mandatory skills would be required. It is manageable with academics as long as your efforts are towards the subjects. The average payout will be 12-15/€ per hour.
Likes (Safety): Here, everywhere, police/security are surrounded, and every region has a police station, with rules and regulations that are very strict. No one can get away with doing anything wrong. You are not allowed to commit any crime. Here, the crime rate is almost zero. The culture itself is very safe, and people are friendly. What’s more, here, you find equal opportunities for all genders as well.

Taking initiative is essential to grow professionally.
Tips: I did not feel a big cultural shift, as Western society is always common on social media and TV shows. People here are quite polite, follow the rules, and seem structured. I received 1 scholarship, which provided 300 euros a month for 1 year. RWTH Aachen University is a great place to study because of its excellent public transportation. It offers multiple transport options, such as trains, buses, and e-scooters. The city is also quite bike-friendly with good traffic regulations and roads. In addition, the roads are in excellent condition, making travel very safe. It's also affordable for students, who get to use the student travel card. Overall, I am happy with the university, although I feel some courses could be more application-oriented rather than theoretical.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies that hire people in a lot of different fields and job descriptions. Most of them will also help with your work visa if needed. I’ve also heard that RWTH is a respected college, so the offers probably won’t be too shabby, though I haven’t looked into the details. They might be hiring for things like engineers, architects, designers, simulations, or product managers.

Academically challenging, but the quality of education is impeccable.
Tips: The studies are quite challenging academically and need extensive hard work. However, the knowledge one would gain through the courses here is impeccable. The quality of education is quite good. The city of Aachen is not very expensive and student-friendly; therefore, financially, it is optimal to study at RWTH for international students. AFAIK, there are a few government-sponsored merit-based scholarships available. Also, various student assistant roles are available within the university to work part-time in the desired field. The course is heavily theory-based with little practical exposure.

RWTH Aachen University - The largest public university in Germany.
Tips: I recommend that all students learn German before coming to RWTH Aachen University. At least an A2 level is required. The study-life balance here is awesome. We get sufficient time to study and have fun. We get a lot of opportunities to participate and learn from various activities. The scope of learning in fun is highly valuable here. The diverse culture helps us to understand international customs and settings. Research the curriculum and try to determine what job opportunities are available after graduation. And finally, bring all the necessary items with you from India, as they are quite expensive here.
Dislikes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen University is the largest public university in Europe, with a QS world ranking of 99. It has highly reputed faculty members, and its degree is considered highly valuable. The opportunity to find a job or research work is quite easy here.

RWTH Aachen University is great with good learning environment and supportive faculty.
Tips: My experience at RWTH Aachen University has been very positive. The professors and tutors are highly professional, and the university offers a wide range of opportunities for students who want to work as a HiWi, do a research project, or write a master's thesis. The city of Aachen is also very pleasant, and students have the opportunity to learn about different cultures.

3.9
Meaningful and impactful courses but super difficult to get through.
Tips: The courses and exams are super difficult and require a lot of involvement right from the get-go, including self-study, searching other material, learning from online resources and learning to apply concepts practically. The final exams usually count for 100% of the grade and are also very frequently made to be super difficult so that only those that are fully fluent with the subjects can get a good grade and those who have consistently studied can get a passable grade. There will be discrimination based on language because most student jobs require full speaking proficiency in German, which is an added task. On multiple occasions, I've walked through the city beyond 2 am and had no scary experiences as a male. The buses run until midnight at least and are surveilled for safety. Police patrol the grounds of the main city street regularly. Most of the residents of the city are students, which is a bonus in terms of safety. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences so far.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee and the semester extension fee for my degree programme is not justified when you consider the fact that there are other students who are doing the same courses in the university without having to pay tuition fee because their degree programme is free of cost.
