M.Sc. Process Systems Engineering - Batch of 2028

5.0

My University is very great

Tips: Nothing! Just come. There are many things to consider, but all of those can be solved once you come here. Be mentally prepared for the cold weather and homesickness. Apart from that, just do your best to achieve good grades and be socially active with people.

MSc in Automation & Robotics - Batch of 2025

4.1

Best ROI for your Masters with some compromises

Tips: College life is very different from what we have back home in India. Classes aren't mandatory, and you can just appear for examinations directly. You have a lot of freedom to choose your own subjects and major. - I did not avail any scholarships, but there is a Deutschland Stipendium, which is offered to handpicked students to cover some part of their monthly expenses. - I am pretty satisfied with the course, as it has given me so much freedom to choose my own path. Germany itself is okay at best, with the job market being very difficult nowadays to find a job post-graduation.

Likes (Value for money): Education is basically free in Germany that is why the value is unmatched and cannot be compared with any other country in the world. You pay only a minimal semester contribution (350 euros), which also includes your travel ticket, so in terms of value, this is actually the best option.

Dislikes (Public transportation): There are a lot of options, but the frequency is lower than in some other big cities. Usually, buses come every 20 minutes. You get the Deutschlandticket with the semester contribution, and that allows you to use all public transport across the country.

M.Sc. Process Systems Engineering - Batch of 2027

4.0

The course is interesting but not easy to complete in 4-semesters and requires more effort.

Tips: The PSE course is not easy, and students have to put in a lot of effort and time to complete the course. There are a few who couldn't complete the course in 4 years, too. But the course is very structured and up to date, with very interesting subjects to study and further work. The department is quite demanding, and the number of courses per semester is high, which is why students take more than 4 semesters to complete. So, you need to be prepared to do the hard work accordingly. I haven't applied to any scholarships, but students joining here can apply for the DAAD scholarship and the Deutschland stipendium for BCI students. I am satisfied with the course structure as it is interesting to me. I recommend that applicants go through the course structure and the department's modules handbook before joining. Along with these, it is important as a process engineer to learn German, which is not easy. So, I recommend to start leraning German before coming here.

Likes (Public transportation): Dortmund is well-connected by public transport. It is very convenient to travel to the university or any other place. The local transport is free, it is included in the semester fee that students pay every semester. The Deutschland ticket is included in the Semesterbeitrag.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are very limited off-campus part-time job opportunities for students who are fluent in German. On-campus jobs are also scarce and are usually available only if there is a vacancy in a lab or if a student has good grades. Some students are unable to find any part-time work at all. Managing a part-time job alongside this course is challenging, and students who plan to work while also learning German typically take more than four semesters to complete the programme. Average pay varies depending on the workplace and the number of hours worked, but the minimum wage is 13.9/hour with a maximum of 20 working hours per week.

Pretty good if you want to get some in depth knowledge.

Tips: It's good to take a look at the subjects of the course. I got 3 scholarships in total: the Deutschlandstipendium twice and the DAAD Scholarship once. 4 out of 5. In general, life during my master's was pretty good. I am grateful that I was able to make lots of great friends.

Likes (Value for money): I think most public universities in Germany do not have fees. So it's a great deal. You come and just pay the semester fee, which in turn subsidizes the Mensa food and gives you a Semesterticket. The Hochschulsport department also offers lots of sports courses for very cheap.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were pretty nice and approachable. You could ask them questions, and they were open to offering TA positions if you scored well. When I was there, the university didn't have many teachers in the AI field. It is improving. Some subjects were very theoretical, and I loved it. I think it was 80% German then. Now, I am not so sure.

Fun student life; lots of sports and clubs.

Tips: I could do lots of sports which also helped me find many local friends. I learn from them not only their language but also their culture and how they have friendships. I feel good that Dortmund is a city that has many opportunities for everything.

Likes (Value for money): There are lots of Indian restaurants and other cuisines available but I prefer cooking for myself to manage my expenses. The University Canteen offers cheap food so whenever I can't cook, I eat at the University. If we miss some good foods from our home but can't prepare them on our own, we can eat at the restaurants. They aren't so expensive but frequent eating will be expensive.

Dislikes (Student Life): I usually attend the lectures and do sports in the evening at university. I especially love the many sports activities available. There are variety of events especially representing unity in diversity. I usually enjoy the International Cultural Fest where we represent each country's traditional food and culture.

Studying in Germany can be a bit difficult but the tuition fee is zero.

Tips: You should know that getting into college is a bit difficult, and even after getting in, the exams and everything, especially in Germany. I think if you work hard here and you come with that mindset you will do well.

Likes (Value for money): I think the tuition fee in Germany is zero and it is really good here because you get to learn a lot of quality stuff, but of course, to balance it out, the course will be very difficult. The value for money is going to be very good, but you have to be hard working.

Dislikes (Part time work): I think it is fairly easy to get part time work, especially for working in hot fields like artificial intelligence and you might be able to if you are decently hardworking and the pay is also fine. Especially in hot fields like software, you have an option.
