M.Sc in Automotive Engineering - Batch of 2027
4.2
Competitive yet reasonable
Tips: Do not come if you are not ready to put in the hard work. None of the professors will go easy on you. You have to earn every single mark. You will obviously experience a cultural shift that you are not ready for. The weather also takes a toll in the beginning.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are some of the reputed individuals in their respective fields. They are as accessible as you would expect a university professor to be, but the assistants are even more accessible. They are available to answer your doubts and advise in office hours.
Dislikes (Part time work): The ratio of the no. Of available jobs to the no. Of students trying for them is very skewed. Since it is a student city (RWTH alone has more than 40k students enrolled - at least in my first semester), the competition is very high. You get paid the minimum wage according to regulations.

M.Sc. Materials Engineering (International Profile) - Batch of 2026
4.0
The ideal platform to upskill, learn and grow, provided you know the rules.
Tips: - Personally, for me, the transition was not that difficult since I grew up in an international environment. I guess for indian students, the greater deal is, will I find a community I can interact with and share common interests with? The answer is always a resounding yes. - Generally, in Germany, scholarships are not that easy to secure since the tuition feels is quite low. - Before joining a TU9 university, it's important to note that it's going to be highly research- and academically oriented, so be prepared to put in the hard miles. - I am satisfied since I found the right channel to develop my skills, the right jobs, and academic positions to pursue my interests further.
Likes (Safety): The city is pretty safe, apart from a few junkies on the street. - Knowing German helps you assimilate better and learn local culture, and that directly helps with safety. - I never felt unsafe during the wee hours of the day since everything was accessible and secure. - I just never had any bad experiences, but that's only a personal thing.
Dislikes (Internships): - The university has a career center that is always open to international students - Finding internships and jobs is more dependent on your profile - Networking with industry experts at career fair, or through the university alums, does land some positions - right now, Germany isn't doing the best in terms of jobs especially for fields like software, IT, or core-engineering/natural sciences fields like Chemistry mechanical engineering etc. Yet, there is a rapid rise in computational-based roles.

Software Systems Engineering M.Sc. - Batch of 2026
3.8
RWTH Aachen Computer Science
Tips: Please learn German before you come, it helps you integrate with other students. When you want to socialise or participate in student clubs, for many activities. If you want to find Werkstudent jobs, German would be essential for that as well. Later, for finding a full-time job, you open up many opportunities if you have a good level of German.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The method of teaching is through practical coursework- mostly assignments, practical problem-solving, open book exam for some courses where understanding concepts matters more than memorising. All faculty are Europeans. You would be mainly interacting directly with the Ph.d. professors are accessible just after lectures.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since it is a small student city, not many Indian restaurants are available. However, there are 3 Indian grocery stores where you can buy almost all things we get in India, including exotic vegetables, packed items, and spices. Some Indian restaurants are there, but not very authentic. So get ready to become a chef.

Master of Science in Robotic Systems Engineering - Batch of 2027
4.4
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.
