Life at RWTH Aachen University
Tips: Students should be aware that they've to be independent as much as possible. There's no spoon feeding like India. Professors/ college do the basic/ primary work and mostly its the student who have to shape their path. They've to be very much responsible and accountable.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Mostly attending classes, part times. I enjoy the free time and going to mensa. Since RWTH is once of the biggest technical Universities, there's always something on the late. There are clubs varying from technical to cultural. Events are organized almost everyday. But one should not forget why he or she is here for.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty is great. Professors are approachable anytime. The methodology is very different that from India. And the cohort is diverse which helps for individuals holistic growth. I personally love the facility the university has. The student just has to recognize the opportunities and should know that patience is the key.

Software Systems Engineering M.Sc. - Batch of 2026
3.8
RWTH Aachen- Computer science
Tips: Please learn German for integration and also to get better job opportunities. It also gives you more opportunities to join student clubs and socialize with others. Finding Werkstudent jobs and full-time jobs requires German up to a certain level and gives you more options.
Likes (Value for money): The method of teaching is through a practical course- mostly assignments. Practical problem-solving is emphasized; there are some open-book exams, so learn the concepts well. All faculty are European. Main interaction is with the Ph.D. students and sometimes with professors after the lecture period.
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 the things we get in India, including exotic Indian vegetables, packaged items, and spices. Some Indian restaurants are there, but not very authentic. So get ready to become a chef.

Great experience. Learned a lot.
Tips: I was an exchange student as a DAAD scholar. The city and college are both very friendly to international students. I had a DAAD scholarship and used to get a monthly allowance of 992 euro also, tuition fee are wavered. Also, we used to get house rent allowance and other benefits. I had a great experience there.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were very knowledgeable. And I learned a lot from them. They held seminars each week and were very helpful. The labs were great and had top research facilities. We also held monthly meetings to discuss what could be improved, and this approach helped us to learn a lot.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I stayed on research internships for 6 months. For this short period of stay, there aren't many options afterwards. Post-study jobs are available generally for who stayed for a longer duration and have German language skills more than B2/C1. I don't have much knowledge about post-study jobs.

M.Sc in Automotive Engineering - Batch of 2027

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.

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.

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.
