M.Sc. in Management and Engineering in Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2023
4.2
A wonderful experience at a word class university
Tips: A cultural shift will always be there but has become a bit easier as there are a large number of Indian students who come there every semester. Scholarships as such are directly limited. There are a few programs that give financial support based on academic performance. I did receive a one-time payment from such a program in the first semester. The university is one of the best in the world; of course, I would say it could have been structured a bit better; didn't feel like a specialization at the end. Germany is great all around if you speak the language.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty are experts in their field of study. They also have a large amount of teaching experience, which allows them to convey things quite easily, which makes it easier to understand for students as well. The course layout designed makes the lectures a lot more interactive.
Dislikes (Value for money): I had to rate value for money on the lower side because, honestly, the financial train of being here keeps creeping up with every new intake. If you're doing one of the specialized or international academy courses, the actual tuition fees are incredibly steep—especially when you realize you could get a practically identical degree for free at other public German universities. Even for the standard programs, between the rising semester contribution and the ballooning cost of rent in Aachen, it starts adding up fast. Half the time, it feels like you're just paying a massive premium just to have the RWTH Aachen brand name on your resume. The university rides incredibly hard on its reputation as this elite TU9 school, but the reality on the ground is just overcrowded lectures, completely brutal exam fail rates, and useless administrative support. Honesty, it makes you question why you're burning through so much cash and sanity for a piece of paper.

RWTH Aachen presents an amazing opportunity to learn all the essential skills.
Tips: The best part about RWTH Aachen is that tuition is basically nonexistent for almost every course. You just have to shell out around €300 each semester but that’s not actually tuition—it’s a student contribution fee and it covers your Semesterticket, which gives you free public transit across the entire state.
But here’s the catch you can't ignore: you need German, period. Even if your specific master's or bachelor's degree is taught entirely in English and you can get by on campus just fine, the bubble bursts the second you try to find work. Aachen is a massive tech and engineering hub, but local companies and startups expect you to actually communicate with their teams.
If you want to land a solid student job (HiWi) on campus, a part-time corporate gig or a full-time role after you graduate having a strong grasp of German is a total game-changer. Without it, you're competing for a tiny fraction of English-only roles, which makes the job hunt way more stressful than it needs to be.

Techno management Multi discipline University
Tips: RWTH Aachen has a massive lineup of courses across different faculties, but seriously, do your homework before locking anything in. The workload here is no joke, so you really want to make sure the specific curriculum matches what you actually want to study.
On the financial side, definitely look into funding early. I actually managed to score a student networking grant before I even enrolled, which helped a ton. Once you're officially registered, there are a bunch of other post-enrolment options you can apply for through the university portal—like the Deutschlandstipendium or specific faculty grants. Since there are no heavy tuition fees here, bagging one of those scholarships basically means your everyday living costs and semester fees are completely covered, letting you just focus on surviving the exams.

Master of Science in Computational Engineering Science (In German) - Batch of 2025

RWTH Aachen: Rigorous, International and Student-centric
Tips: You absolutely have to learn the language here. It just makes life so much easier when you're trying to get around the city, chat with strangers, or ask for directions, since almost everyone naturally speaks German. Also, make sure to check the official website for scholarships. Because I took the time to learn the language beforehand, my tuition fees were basically nothing compared to the actual cost of living here.
Likes (Public transportation): It offers a lively student environment with many opportunities to meet people, join activities and stay engaged outside class. The city itself is very student-friendly, with a large population of students; there were many various activities where I could get engaged like social work.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors here are mostly pretty approachable, but honestly, how easy they are to reach really depends on the department and who you're dealing with. Some instructors are super helpful, but in other areas, the amount of support you get is completely hit-or-miss depending on the specific institute or chair. Honestly, that’s just how it goes at a massive university like this.

MBA in Digitalization & Industrial Change - Batch of 2025
4.1
RWTH - MBA Digitalization and Industrial Change Review
Tips: MBA is provided by RWTH Business School. It is a paid course and if you need to extend your studies, you need to pay again. This course is recommended for working professionals who have at least 4-5 years of experience. The Full-Time MBA in Digitalization & Industrial Change at RWTH Business School is a 3-semester program designed to combine core management skills with a deep understanding of technological innovation and digital transformation. It costs roughly €30,000 to €40,000 and is tailored for technology enthusiasts.
Likes (Public transportation): We have good connectivity to the campus. The travel fees are included in the semester ticket. So you don't need to pay again. There are no teams in Aachen. But there are buses in every 15 minutes. Aachen's public transit features an extensive ASEAG bus network and regional rail from Aachen Hauptbahnhof. It also includes cross-border routes like bus line 350 to Maastricht. Track schedules seamlessly on the go with the DB Navigator or the movA app.
Dislikes (Part time work): This MBA course is a full-time, tightly packed course. Therefore, one will not get enough time to go for part-time jobs. The course is very tightly packed with mainly group activities and presentations. Even though the classes are not compulsory, since most of them are presentations and group work, you are expected to attend every session.

Good university but Learn German before coming
Tips: There is no campus placement concept here in Germany. You can avail scholarships; go through the website carefully—there are multiple options. I also got a scholarship. I am very satisfied with my course and university. For me personally, there was no culture shift. But for someone coming here, I would suggest familiarizing oneself with the rules and culture before shifting via the internet.
Likes (Student Life): Aachen is honestly just built for students, so finding your crowd and mixing with people from all over the world is a breeze. I actually did a stint as the HR for the INCAS group—which is this massive student org dedicated entirely to helping international students settle in—so I saw firsthand how crazy active the whole community is.
Aside from INCAS, RWTH Aachen has an absolute ton of stuff to do outside of classes. The university sports scene or Hochschulsport is massive plus there are countless cultural groups, music clubs, or random project teams depending on what you're into. It’s the kind of campus where you’re never just stuck sitting in a lecture hall. There's always some event or meetup happening which makes it super easy to build a solid network and actually have a life while you're here.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because the job market for English speakers is honesty pretty tough. Most places in Germany really push for German fluency, which makes the whole hunt way more of a headache and takes forever. That being said, if you're in Teach, you might have a bit of an easier time since they're usually a lot more relaxed about the language requirements compared to other fields.
