Master of Science in Data Science - Batch of 2024
4.5
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.

BSc in Computer science - Batch of 2028
4.1
Great Univesity in terms of student life and academics. Affordable for every student
Tips: Moving out here brings a pretty visible cultural shift, so your best bet is to gather as much information as you can before you actually arrive. When it comes to the Computer Science program at TU Dortmund, the course definitely has its highs and lows. It is incredibly heavy on theory and math which can be exhausting but the sheer depth they go into gives you some really interesting insights into how the university approaches the field. Honestly, Germany is easily one of the best countries for international students when you weigh up all the perks and subsidized benefits. The one massive thing you have to brace yourself for, though, is how insanely strict the university rules are, especially once the exam season hits. TU Dortmund does not mess around during finals—the regulations are rigid, and you really have to stay on top of your game to survive the pressure.

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.

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.

M.Sc. Process Systems Engineering - Batch of 2023

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.

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.
