RWTH Aachen: Top tier engineering, tough but rewarding
Tips: RWTH Aachen is an incredible place for anyone serious about engineering, but students should know that the academic pressure is real and the learning style is very independent. The university expects you to manage studies, handle German bureaucracy, and adapt to a fast, demanding pace. Knowing basic German makes daily life and admin work much easier, even if your programme is in English. The campus is spread across the city, so you'll walk a lot, and Aachen's cold, rainy winters can be tough at first. But it is all worth it.
Likes (Value for money): Indeed, in effect, you will get access to one of the finest engineering universities in Europe, the best labs, and world-class professors. The university collaborates with some of the finest companies like BMW, Ford, Continental, and others, thus creating chances for internships, theses, and jobs paying good salaries.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are barely any Indian food points available here, which is an issue but not a deal-breaker because you can always rely on either donor or pizzas to bail you out. You can always make food at home because of the availability of various Indian shops selling Indian masalas.

MSc SSE at RWTH, Spelled Out
Tips: I can say I had a fairly smooth transition. For me, it was a different experience to sit and learn among students from different nationalities. Also, it makes you more competitive and striving to be among an elite set of students who rival your intellect. The course is excellent, offering a variety of subjects from very experienced and knowledgeable faculty.
Likes (Safety): The safety, as such is pretty good. There has been an incident of women in the university a year back, but it is commendable that the university took quick and strict action against the offender. The city as such is decent, people are generally friendly, and you seldom find racism issues. Junkies do exist in some isolated areas, but they mind their own business and are rarely a problem for the general public.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidance is decent if you enquire about it. Unlike India it is not served on a platter for you. Internships are not mandatory for SSE although you could do one and it definitely boosts your CV. There are many companies in and around Aachen. Cologne and Du00fcsseldorf area, also fully remote options.

M.Sc. Software Systems Engineering at RWTH Aachen University review
Tips: The course is really theoretically heavy and less practical than you would want if your goal is to gain a job in the field. More oriented towards a PhD. Type education. There are career events where you can go and speak with multiple companies and try to land part-time or full-time opportunities. If your focus is getting a job, then you can choose this university, but make sure to look for student jobs early on to gain experience in your field.
Likes (Public transportation): The transportation is great because the university is spread out across the city and you can get there easily by bus. There are only buses available within Aachen city. Sadly, there are no trams, but you don't really need them in such a small city like Aachen. The semester fee also covers transportation costs for one semester, so it's a great value for money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few restaurants that have Indian food, and they are decent, I would say, but I would prefer more restaurants and better quality. They also don't have a lot of Indian cuisines, so you can mostly get North Indian stuff easily, but you'll have to go to Ku00f6ln to get good South Indian food. I usually prefer to cook at home and eat out less.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2026
3.5
Theoretical and time-intensive but reputed university
Tips: It's very theoretical, and 40% who start don't end up graduating because of that; the exams are quite difficult, and you have to study a lot for them. But tuition is very low, just 320 euros per semester, and it's a top German university, in the global top 100. If you have plans on working in Germany, note that a lot of positions, especially in German companies like Bosch and Siemens and the car companies like BMW, expect almost fluent German skills.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connection by bus and train except to the Informatikzentrum. The bus ticket is included in the tuition fee, so it is practical, and you can even go to the Netherlands and Belgium with it. So it is very nice for traveling in your free time to get your head off of work and studies.
Dislikes (Internships): You can go to the career fair and business talks, but otherwise there is not that much focused recruiting. It's definitely possible to do internships like at BMW, Mercedes, or Siemens, although you will usually have to relocate to southern Germany for that time. Otherwise, in smaller companies in Aachen.

An International Student’s guide in Germany
Tips: Overall, the transition was smooth. RWTH has the friendliest professors compared to what I heard from my friends at other universities in Germany. If a student is not able to connect with their classmates, they can start connecting with PhD students or professors and learn about the culture and take advice on anything and everything they face. I was very satisfied with my course and even applied for a Master's programme after my semester exchange and got accepted.
Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time jobs available. You need to have patience and the right approach when approaching someone for work. Part-time work is manageable along with 6-7 master level courses per semester. Average payout: 12-13 Euros/hr for academic assistant jobs and more for jobs involving labour, like at grocery stores.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants in the city of Aachen, along with cuisines from many countries. I prefer to eat outside twice a week, and the rest of the time, I cook by myself. You can get cheap groceries at stores like Lidl, which helps you keep expenses in control.

A perfect Academic course for Transportation Enthusiast
Tips: About the university, course and country its sport on if you are willing to learn German language. Even for the part time and after graduation German language skill is very important. I didn't get any scholarships or something. I have managed my finance by own. Also before joining the course please review the course first as I have seen lot of people who quite the course after 2-3 semester because the don't able to complete the exams.
Likes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen is an absolute steal when it comes to what you're actually getting for your money. Because it’s a public German university, there are zero actual tuition fees. You only have to pay a relatively small semester fee twice a year, and honestly, the perks completely cover that cost on their own. The biggest highlight is that this fee includes the country-wide Deutschlandsemesterticket. Having that means you can hop on any regional train, bus, or metro across the entire country for completely free. Just using it to travel around North Rhine-Westphalia or take weekend trips out of Aachen makes the semester contribution worth it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian vegetarian, it is hard sometimes to find vegetarian food outside, so you should have to manage cooking with studying and a part-time job. I always prefer to cook at home rather than eating out, as it saves much more cost. But yes, you can also find Indian restaurants here in Germany. There are also Indian grocery stores where you can buy Indian groceries. Apart from that, German supermarkets also have the most common groceries like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
