MSc Embedded Computing Systems - Batch of 2025
4.4
Limited opportunities, high competition.
Tips: It is a cultural shift in terms of weather, food, people, the study curriculum, etc. I feel one can write an example nicely if you have prepared beforehand and attend classes properly. The paper is set in a way that only after understanding concept one can pass or get good grades. I am very satisfied with my decision to choose the country and also the course.
Likes (Internships): There is always a competition. I personally didn't approach any professors for it. But maybe if asked to professors may get guidance, not an issue. Should be well prepared in terms of what direction you need to go in order to choose an internship, and should be flexible to move to other cities.
Dislikes (Public transportation): There is not much transportation after 10 pm, and also on public holidays and weekends, there are no buses. With the student ID card, public transport is used for free. The university card will cover a radius of 100kms and it gives good coverage. Very useful.

4.5
A great learning environment with strong academics and smooth adaptation.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers strong academics, great research exposure and a very supportive environment, but they must be prepared for a highly independent study culture. After coming here, the biggest transition was adapting to the cultural differences. People value personal space, punctuality and direct communication. The shift is positive but takes some time. I did not avail any scholarships, as the education is already quite affordable and part-time work is enough to manage expenses. I am very satisfied with the university, my course and the country. The learning environment, professors and facilities make the experience worth it.
Likes (Value for money): The education system here offers excellent value for money because you hardly need to invest anything in tuition fees. The university charges very minimal or no tuition, and the semester contribution is also reasonable. As long as you do part-time work, you can handle your living expenses comfortably. Considering the quality of education and the facilities provided, the course feels completely worth it and financially justified.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food quality here is good, but you don't get the authentic Indian taste even in restaurants that claim to be Indian. Most dishes are made slightly sweet or adjusted to the local palate, so it doesn't feel like real Indian food. There are many restaurants in the area - Italian, Turkish, German, Asian, kebab shops usually costing 13 - 15 per dish, but none match the spice profile or flavour we are used to. Because of this, I often prefer cooking at home rather than eating outside.

Friendly but make sure to focus on studies as it is not that easy.
Tips: There is not that much significant cultural shift, you will find people from your origin country but there will be cultural shift in specific places such as clubs and different things but mainly in university and shops, there are no specific differences.
Likes (Public transportation): The buses are good and they are on time. The majority of the time, there are direct buses from bus stop to the university stop and the pricing for that is very good and it is included in the sem contribution so it's literally zero for the price of public transportation.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants in the area are mostly non-vegetarian but the prices are reasonable for that kind of food. Since I am vegetarian there are some vegetarian restaurants which have good prices but the food is just okay. I usually ask for extra spice as it is a bit bland. I mostly prefer cooking my own meals.

Technically driven competitive college.
Tips: Students should know that RPTU requires strong academic dedication, so maintaining good grades and staying consistent with coursework is important. The APS certificate is essential for many applications in India. So preparing this early helps. Life here also requires being independent.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at RPTU is very well balanced and enjoyable if you make it. There is a good mix of academics research opportunities and personal time which makes managing studies much easier. I enjoy spending my day in the labs and libraries or attending classes and there are many sports facilities and cultural activities and events that keep the campus lively. RPTU also hosts job fairs and career events welcome weeks tournaments and international meetups.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer home cooked meals because most food available here doesn't fully match the Indian taste. There are a few restaurants that has international cuisine but authentic Indian flavours are little and often adapted to European preferences. This makes it harder to find meals that feel familiar so I cook at home. Also as a student we are on a tight budget.

Welcoming city and campus.
Tips: Take part in the IntClub trips and ESN activities/parties, take your time to explore around if you are a trek/hike person. You can explore places near city centre, and obviously, as a vegetarian, you will find options, so don't stress about food but it's always good if you know how to cook.
Likes (Student Life): They have everything in the college as well as the city, which offers such a welcoming energy, except for the cold winters. It gets dull but if you have good company of friends close to you, I think you can still manage to fight this gloomy weather.
Dislikes (Indian Food): From where I am living which is exactly near the uni, I have to take a 5-minute bus to the city center which is quite near to buy from Indian food stores. Sometimes it feels a little far when the weather is really cold but normally you can shop all at once, at least for a week.

The faculty is easily approachable and always there to help international students.
Tips: Just choose your specialization wisely. You will transit here over time. There are a few scholarships that are available for international students like DAAD Stipendium, Erasmus. I am very satisfied with the university and course, also the city is cheap.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Here we have good work like balance. You can choose your exams in each semester; modules are flexible. You can easily get a part time job here, like I used to work in a restaurant, due to which I was able to save enough and live my life comfortably.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty is easily approachable and always there to help international students. Along with your studies, you can do a part time or minijob in your respective department, which helps to cover your expenses. The faculty gives the opportunity to participate in conferences.
