MSc in Economics - Batch of 2025
4
One of the leading universities for studying economics in Germany.
Tips: Before joining, applicants should be well versed with the courses taught and should do a little preparation so that they are prepared for the courses to be taught. M.Sc. in Economics is highly academic-oriented and is mathematically inclined, hence students should be prepared to do courses that involve a lot of math concepts. There are scholarships available and students should apply within the deadline to get a chance to avail them.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is well connected and it is the cheapest form of transportation for students. As a student, our semester fee includes transportation costs so we can access all modes of public transportation for free. The semester ticket gives access to all local and regional transport within Germany.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't a lot of Indian restaurants in Bonn, and the available Indian restaurants are somewhat expensive for Indians. There are some Indian grocery stores in Bonn, so there are options to buy Indian groceries, and cooking food yourself is more cost-saving. I think as a student it is expensive to eat outside every day, hence, learning to cook is an essential life skill needed to survive in Germany.

MSc in Neurosciences - Batch of 2025
4.5
Most supportive and friendly college I ever been to.
Tips: Students should be familiar with the things they need to do after coming here such as doing city registration, opening a bank account, and adapting to the food and lifestyle of the natives. Also, it is better if they have basic knowledge of German. Moreover, the teaching patterns and lab rotations also are a bit different here.
Likes (Value for money): We don't really have to pay the tuition fees and the semester contribution fees that we pay include the public transportation for a large area so we get to travel a lot. Moreover, they also provide such a good atmosphere for study, use innovative techs for teaching and the internet and campus facilities which really makes it a great course to study.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty is great here. Most of them are Germans, so there can be problems with the accent for the Indians sometimes but that is rare. Moreover, most of them are quite friendly and also very serious about the subjects they teach. Sometimes some of them can be very strict with grading but since it's a course with restricted admissions you get to interact and learn more.
