M.Sc. Data Analytics and Decision Science - Batch of 2026

4.6

Home, away from home in Aachen.

Tips: I have become independent and a bit social after joining the university. Networking has become one of the most important learnings so far. The courses might feel intimidating at first, but if you spend some time with the topics, you'll get through. Stay focused on what lecturers say.

Likes (Safety): I never faced any form of unsafe experience. The city of Aachen is very student friendly and almost every person you meet in public transport has high chances of being a student. All cultures and communities live in harmony and are supportive of students needs.

Dislikes (Student Life): The day starts with revising college lecture notes, video that took place last night. Checking schedules and lecture halls for today's sessions. Keeping yourself up to date with technological advancements in our field and how the fundamentals taught to us relate to them. The university has a diverse range of events, from CV check to conduct-yourself workshops, to fun events like Christmas Ice skating events. There are clubs and communities for almost everything you can think of.

4.4

A challenging yet rewarding academic journey with excellent faculty.

Tips: Transitioning here definitely involved a cultural shift, especially concerning food habits, communication style, and managing everything independently. However, the support systems and student network help a lot. There are a few scholarship opportunities available during the application process and even after you start your studies here, so make sure you are aware of those opportunities. Academically, I've found the university to be demanding but rewarding. The course structure is well thought out and encourages independent thinking. Finding housing here is a little bit difficult as the university does not provide hostels. But there are student dorms managed by Studierendenwerk, which have a long waiting queue. So as soon as you apply to the university, you should also apply to those dorms.

Likes (Public transportation): One of the best aspects of living in Germany is its efficient and wide-reaching public transportation system. The campus is well connected to the rest of the city and surrounding regions through buses, trams, and regional trains. Although there are occasional delays or cancellations, alternate arrangements and support are prompt and well-organised. Having the semester ticket included in the semester contribution is a major advantage, as it covers the entire regional transport across Germany and even allows travel to nearby cities in neighbouring countries. It's affordable, reliable, and makes student life much easier.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants in the city, but most of them don't suit my taste preference and often lack the authenticity I miss from home. On top of that, the prices are quite high compared to cooking the same dishes but better. Occasionally, I prefer trying out international cuisines.

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.

4.1

A great university for those passionate about their programs.

Tips: I hope that you're not in a hurry to get your degree. The exams in Germany are difficult, so likely, you won't be able to complete your degree in the time frame listed on the program website. You will probably have lots of difficult exams in any given semester. The only fees paid here are for public transport and a social contribution. In the city itself, there are plenty of buses operating frequently and a large number of stops, so it's very easy to get around in the city. With the semester travel ticket from the University, you can also use public transport all over Germany for free.

Dislikes (Indian Food): It's Germany, you're not going to find an abundance of Indian restaurants, and most are expensive anyway. It's better to just cook your own food if Indian food is what you want. I cook most of my food, and a few times a week I eat at the university canteen.

M.Sc. Materials Engineering (International Profile) - Batch of 2025

Good course & university but growing number of students coming by paying agents is concerning.

Tips: Students could apply to the Deutschlandstipendium before joining their Master's and could get a 1-year scholarship of 300 euros per month. You could apply before starting your studies. Expect a lot of Indian students on campus. The number of Indian students has been exponentially growing in the past 2-3 years. Sadly, some of them are here with no knowledge of the course they applied for, and are here only by paying some agents, which makes it unfair for the others, and reduces the name and reputation of the university. There are a lot of Indian stores and Indian restaurants which will help you from falling homesick. Try to join student organisations and events every time you have an opportunity. It will help you meet more locals and experience the international atmosphere of the university. There is an International Welcome week at the beginning for everyone, where you get to meet all the student organisations and associations from all across Aachen under one roof. Please make good use of that. The students coming here in the winter semester could feel very low and probably depressed in the months of October to February due to the gloomy winters and shorter daylight hours. It is a common occurrence with many in winter, including the locals. It is especially advised to always have social interactions and attend events/parties/gatherings to keep your mood up and face the winters.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is covered by the semester ticket, which is included in your tuition payment. It gives all students unlimited access to all city buses, local/regional trains, metro, trams, and all other forms of public transportation across Germany, except for high-speed trains.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is very difficult and time-consuming to integrate with locals and create social circles due to the language barrier. Because of this, many international students find themselves hanging out with other students from their country or fellow international students. Also, the weather is always gloomy and cloudy, with rain almost every other day.

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.
