M.Sc. Smart Production Engineering - Batch of 2025
3.9
Highly qualified faculty.
Tips: The experience of my master's studies at the RWTH Aachen University was very good. Cultural shift was primarily with the language, but the people in Aachen are very welcoming and one can get accustomed to the local culture quickly. I did not avail any scholarship.

A great university with lots of exposure to gain from.
Tips: Before coming to this university or Germany in general, you should have a broad and open mind. Try to respect the boundaries of others and maintain civic sense in public spaces. People here are direct, so don't get offended if someone has said something directly to you. And you should also try to be direct here with others.
Likes (Safety): I feel that the residents of a city are a reflection of a city's safety and security. 95% of the people here have empathy towards others. And therefore, one pathetic environment or surrounding ensures that safety is maintained throughout the time.

Master of Science in Robotic Systems Engineering - Batch of 2026

A university for someone who is thorough.
Tips: Be very thorough with your basics. The technical courses demand a lot of expertise in the subjects. If you are not very aware of the course, be in a position to grind the coursework and ask plenty of questions to the faculty, to facilitate better understanding.

4.4
Absolutely amazing campus for networking, learning and development.
Tips: Be prepared to network more and enhance your communication skills. Always look out for extracurricular and work student opportunities. Be prepared for campus life and the German way of living. Be prepared for the German job market, mainly in professional skills and the German language.
Likes (Safety): Aachen itself is a nice place to live especially for providing a safe environment. The college is spread across the entire city, even then I have never faced any unsafe situation. Student dorms are also very nice with good student groups. The Intac Academy also has a support group which can be reached easily.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is not justified compared to the colleges that are providing similar courses with zero tuition fees, as in Germany, as per my experience, the college name doesn't matter to get jobs. And in the same college, people are studying Bachelors for free.

Great student life and academics at RWTH Aachen.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a self-driven study culture. The academic environment is more research oriented and less spoon fed. German skills are helpful in daily life and part time jobs. The transition was smooth but there was a cultural shift towards more independence and punctuality. I received a 100% 'Women in Engineering' scholarship and relied on personal funding and part-time jobs to manage other expenses.
Likes (Part time work): RWTH Aachen offers good opportunities that are flexible and student friendly. On-campus jobs such as HiWi, research, or teaching assistant roles. Off campus, students can find jobs in restaurants, delivery services and chocolate factories, though some require some basic German. Part time work is manageable if limited to 8-12 hrs per week alongside academics. The average payouts range from 12 to 15 euros per hour.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The taste of Indian food at restaurants in Aachen is not very good. I have had much better Indian food outside of Aachen. As s student, it does not make sense to spend around 20 euros on food that is not close to authentic Indian taste. There are many affordable options such as Doner, Oizza and other similar cuisines. These are tasty, easily available and reasonably priced for students. I preferred cooking myself. I usually ate outside once a week during the busy period.

MSc in Physics - Batch of 2026

RWTH Aachen - an underappreciated gem bordering Germany, Netherlands and Belgium
Tips: Learning some German will go a long way, it is a very international environment so you can definitely get by just with English but to make more friends and assimilate yourself, it is really appreciated to learn the language, the local also appreciate it. It is also cheaper to learn German in India than in Germany xD
It is also very important to get good insurance. Your student status requires you to have valid health insurance, but it is highly recommended to also get a private liability insurance for a few Euros per month, which protects you from any accidents that you can be involved in that damage someone else's property. I applied for and got a scholarship specific to my course. The deadline was a few months before the regular admission deadline and it provided me about 500 Euros per month stipend for 2 years and an internship (working student/HiWi) contract for the first year for 8 hours/week that also paid about 500 euros per month. You can find student jobs at a lab provided you have a little background knowledge in the subject, usually English is sufficient for this. If you want to work at a tech company or a Fraunhofer, knowing German can help. I am very satisfied with my university. The faculty has been superb and there is excellent research in Physics here. It is also very affordable, charges zero tuition and studentship comes with a national travel card that allows you to avail all the public transport in the country, bus, tram, train, for free. The cost is included in the semester fee of about 300 euros.
Likes (Internships): Every few months, the student body and the university organise a career/job fair to arrange internships for the students and provide valuable guidance and upskilling for soft skills. There are numerous calls for international exchange visits/internships under the Erasmus and other programmes that the RWTH is a part of, which all students, regardless of whether they are only European, can participate in.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Even for a small college town, they have almost 10-15 Indian restaurants in the main city region, with reasonable prices 10-15 Euros for a meal, some focus on North/South Indian cuisine. I prefer cooking for myself to manage budget and health, it is quite convenient and possible to find food that suits your dietary requirements (veg, vegan, hall, etc.).

Yes, a health insurance is mandatory for Indian students planning to study in Germany. The health insurance helps cover for doctor visits, emergency care, and hospital treatments. A public health insurance is usually more affordable. A public healthcare plan costs between EUR 120 and EUR 150 or INR
