Master of Science in Manufacturing Technology - Batch of 2024
4.7
Multi activity university with referrals.
Tips: The Technical University of Dortmund has many study plans that are difficult to navigate. The school does have the option to study abroad, and students can work with an academic advisor to help them navigate the selection of classes. Language is also a big part of the experience, and it's important to consider how your language skills will help you study. The study pattern is completely different from our country. Referral and planned plans can help you explore better. Balancing life and studies is the most difficult part.
Likes (Part time work): There are multiple part-time jobs but they are engrossing and tiring. Diverting focus from studies to earning money during study time. Part-time jobs are difficult to find during the intake time as all people are applying at the same time. Also, it might be that you need to travel for part-time jobs a lot.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no campus placement options. You need to struggle yourself to find a job. Also finding English-speaking jobs is more difficult. Even if the course is in English companies are not that friendly to allow you to work with it. German is a must to have a career in Germany.

Data Science M.Sc - Batch of 2023
4.8
An overall good experience but a tough curriculum.
Tips: Germany overall is a nice experience, but knowing German is a must. Even if the course is in English many of the locals won't communicate in English (government officials as well). This is not the case in big international cities like Munich or Berlin but for Dortmund, you need to know some basic German. As far as this course is concerned i.e. Masters in data Science, one should be prepared to face a curriculum which is more into Statistics. If you already have a knowledge of stats, this course won't be that difficult (especially mandatory stats subjects) but for the rest, it's hard.

M.Sc. Process Systems Engineering - Batch of 2023
3.6
Challenging yet interesting international experience.
Tips: Learning German until the B1 level is compulsory. The weather during winter can be extremely difficult. The courses in the university are very intensive, and mostly oriented for Ph.D. aspirants. I didn't have any scholarship, hence I did a couple of technical as well as non-technical part-time jobs to support my finances. The university provides free education and only charges a small administrative fee for university degrees. The quality of education is excellent, and you can learn a lot from the co-curricular activities and develop many soft skills, such as representation skills and scientific paper presentations. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course and the university.
Dislikes (Safety): There are Neo-Nazi Demonstrations sometime during the years, and a lot going on in the city that is difficult for international students to be aware of. Some areas in Dortmund Dorstfeld are not considered to be safe to visit during quiet hours. As an international student, you have to always carry your ID and stay alert if you find someone suspicious while travelling.
