MSc in Economics - Batch of 2024
4.1
A warehouse of experiences and learnings.
Tips: The modules are designed in a way that gives you flexibility, so choosing the modules is crucial. Choosing a path before joining is also important, so you want to go on academia or go into industry. That will shape your modules. Knowing the fact that 1st semester is difficult for everyone. So, working very hard in the first sem will be very beneficial. Start searching for jobs in the second semester. 1st semester is to settle here, get to know things. Coming to Europe has its perks, like a good lifestyle or travelling through countries but the 1st priority should be studies. Bonn has taught me a lot. Being responsible is one of them. Through modules and projects, I have shaped myself in the financial industry.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here is a good package of international exposure, studies and experiences. Through living in dorms, we get to have various experiences by cooking together, making new friends, celebrating festivals and also studying together. University life is a good mix of local and other nationalities. Particularly, for Bonn, the faculty is very good, and the modules are well articulated with many options in electives.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Being a vegetarian, there are limited options in Indian food as well. It's always better to cook for ourselves as the restaurant doesn't have the value of money and taste, also not as expected. The restaurants are expensive for a student's budget. However, eating out once a week is totally okay.

The courses are difficult yet rewarding.
Tips: Courses are difficult, so be prepared for difficult assignments and a lot of hard work. Since we come from a different background, it is challenging to get accustomed to the education system here. Especially the compulsory subjects are difficult, so be ready to spend a lot of hours studying. That being said, the course is very rewarding and you get good internships or a teaching assistantship as a part time job.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation fee is included in the student semester fees (twice a year). So you don't need to pay extra for public transportation. Public transport is very well connected in the entire Germany and the app works fine too. Available modes are bus, tram and underground trains.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As a vegetarian, it is challenging to find options in Germany in general. There are indian stores and restaurant but finding authentic restaurants is a challenge. However, you can find all ingredients if you are comfortable cooking. I do like eating outside but limited, mostly cooking is the best option.

Inside MSc Astrophysics at Bonn.
Tips: There is an option to get scholarships under the BCGS framework but it is extremely competitive. The transition from an Indian system of education to the German one is significantly tougher than I had initially presumed. The course structure is awfully hard and the pace can sometimes overwhelm students. But it's an absolute goldmine for those who love this subject.
Likes (Student Life): A lot of student organizations regularly meet at different events and parties. They make sure you feel included. Lots of Beer, free pizzas and barbecue parties, board games, sports and politics are all very common here. You will never feel bored but you may feel overwhelmed.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food restaurants usually make Indian food in a 'western style'. Authentic Indian food is costly and rare. A solid community of Indian workers means that sometimes you could ask for 'Indian Style' food items and they may provide you with one that tastes just like back at home.

On-campus university jobs are rare.
Tips: The academic jump between India and Germany was huge, in terms of the syllabus, assignments and methods of teaching. This was hard in the beginning. The cultural shift was interesting too, but Bonn is a student city with people all over the world, so it wasn't hard to get used to. I am extremely satisfied with the university, city and country.
Likes (Student Life): Weekdays are usually paced with classes and assignments. Weekends are spent with friends and neighbours or exploring the city. We have to do our chores ourselves. There are not as many student events or clubs as compared to India, a few only.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus university jobs are rare. There are opportunities in the library and copy room, but German students are preferred here. Some labs are also there that have paid work, but again rare. Although there are tons of off-campus work opportunities. Both in companies and labs. And also things like delivery, restaurants, etc. The usual choice among students is 10 hours of part-time work a week. This is manageable. Even 4-5 hours is allowed, which gives more time for studies. Up to 20 hours a week is legally allowed. The average pay is 12-15 euros/hour. For 10 hours, it covers the monthly expenses well, providing a normal lifestyle where we cook for ourselves and are not extravagant.

Bonn is a very safe city with an extremely low crime rate.
Tips: It is good to know that STEM departments in Bonn are uncharacteristically rigorous and academically demanding even by German standards. I studied in an excellent Indian university and was generally familiar with most of my master's level curriculum but still struggled substantially with my exams in Bonn. In part, this is because failing courses in Germany is not taboo. Most people take at least one extra semester to graduate. Consequently, professors do not shy away from failing students either. I was awarded the Bonn-Cologne Graduate Scholarship which paid me 1000 euros every month. Other perks of the scholarship included guaranteed subsidized housing in a nice neighbourhood and expedited visa processing. The amount of funding that the University of Bonn receives for research and the sincerity with which research groups are organized are leagues above the resources that students in Indian universities can access. Being in the EU also makes it very easy to travel to nearby countries such as Switzerland, France, Portugal, etc. This allows students to network in conferences and workshops quite easily.
Likes (Safety): Bonn is a very safe city with an extremely low crime rate. In my two years there, I have not heard a single instance of theft, violence or talking. There is also campus police and ample of organisations to report violations. Germans take the law very seriously.
Dislikes (Part time work): I was on a full scholarship throughout my two years there and worked as a research assistant and academic tutor. These jobs were guaranteed to me via my scholarship contact. However, if one is unable to find an academic part-time job, then working in cafes or grocery stores. It might be necessary to have a working proficiency in German.

Supportive faculty at the University of Bonn.
Tips: Know what you want to do in life, the career paths you are going to choose, what makes you happy and at the same time earns money for you. Learn German it opens many doors for you. Try to find a mini/part-time job so that you are not exhausting your block account. A degree should provide you with essential skills that should land you a job. Tailor your master's programme accordingly.
Likes (Public transportation): In Germany, the Deutschland Ticket allows affordable travel on most public transport nationwide. The University of Bonn provides this ticket upon enrollment. Note that it does not cover long distance trains like ICE or EC. For them, you have to provide additional costs.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): German is key for securing jobs outside academia, where full-time well-paid positions are standard. In academia, limited German is often acceptable if you're proficient in your field. However doctoral studies-the most sought-after academic positions are typically part-time (50-60%), unless exceptions apply.

The Bonn acceptance rate stands at around 36% as per various unofficial sources, meaning that out of every 100 students who apply to the university's admission process, only 36 are likely to be offered the opportunity to enroll at the campus grounds. This makes the admission criteria of the universi
