RWTH Aachen University Reviews & Ratings ,,Germany

Tips: You will find cultural differences, but most of the students are international, and the majority will be Indian. It is very easy to find local community members. I didn't avail myself of any scholarships. The course is useful and interesting, especially since the professors are good. Fluent German is mandatory for any on-campus jobs. Even to work hard jobs like in a warehouse, a cashier or a restaurant, you need to know the language, and some mandatory skills would be required. It is manageable ...

Tips: I did not feel a big cultural shift, as Western society is always common on social media and TV shows. People here are quite polite, follow the rules, and seem structured. I received 1 scholarship, which provided 300 euros a month for 1 year. RWTH Aachen University is a great place to study because of its excellent public transportation. It offers multiple transport options, such as trains, buses, and e-scooters. The city is also quite bike-friendly with good traffic regulations and roads. In ad...

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 discriminat...

Tips: For students coming from India, it could seem very intimidating at first because of the difference in the education system. Personally, I had to work hard during the first 6 months of my Master's just to get on equal footing as some other students in the course. But once you start learning it becomes easier and more fun than anything that you have experienced so far. I did not have any scholarships as I did not have any tuition fees. I am very satisfied with the university and the course as well...

Tips: Students should check the selection criteria for the scholarships before joining the university. Aachen is one of the best cities in Germany for international students. The course is difficult and is mostly theoretical but you also have an internship component where one has a mandatory internship for at least 6 months. So, overall it is a well-balanced course.

Tips: Students should make a diverse group of friends or acquaintances. Public transportation is great so explore new hobbies and go outside your comfort zone. Prioritize what you want to focus on, whether it is studies, career, fitness etc. You have a finite amount of time and must treat it with value.

Tips: Students should know that they need to manage their time themselves. There is no spoon-feeding and also, don't go into tiring part-time jobs, rather find a part-time job at the university that will help build your CV and leave you with enough energy to focus on your studies as well. There are many opportunities at the university for part-time so try to choose wisely.

Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of opportunities for Indian students. The Indian community in Aachen is the best in Germany. There are many events ...

Tips: There are two categories of courses- public ones (that have no tuition fee) and IntAc courses (the ones with tuition fees). Mine is public. The faculty, as well as assistants, are extremely helpful and more focused on the concept than scoring marks.

Likes (Public transportation): You pay around 300 at the start of every semester and it covers a semester ticket (throughout Germany), by which you can travel on any public transport (except superfast trains). The card that they provide needs to be with you every time you travel. ...

Tips: The scope of internships and work for students are quite high, particularly in Business School. The course (M.Sc DDS) is not designed for people with prior experience in the field, it covers basics in detail. The focus on self study is higher than what is taught in the classes.

Tips: The cultural shift is very adaptable, especially if the person loves being independent and doesn't mind handling daily chores. Education in Germany is not very expensive making it easier to pay back after you secure a part-time/ full-time job. RWTH provides ample exposure and opportunities to foster both, financial independence and academic excellence.

Likes (Public transportation): RWTH provides a Deutschland ticket included in the semester contribution fee, which allows you to take any regional train throughout Germany. Add...
