Empowering education with global exposure.
Tips: Before joining this university, students should know that the academic environment is active and supportive with plenty of opportunities but one needs to take the initiative most of the time. Also the university offers several merit-based scholarships based on academic performance and a statement of purpose.

A journey of learning and belonging.
Tips: The main transition I had to undergo was the vast difference in weather and the shorter days. People keep to themselves mostly unless asked for help, and that might lead to feeling lonely at times. I did not apply for any scholarships. I am satisfied with my course structure, although it was quite hectic compared to my peers in other fields of natural sciences.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): So far, I have not had any major issues with my residence permit applications. The waiting time could be subject to your area or city but I would rate my chances of getting a permanent residence in Germany quite high. And when the right time comes, I might also seriously consider getting citizenship.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Usually, the options of meals in India are very varied, which might be a little bit of a cultural shock after coming to Germany, therefore I mostly get my cravings of that warm bowl of daal and price satisfied by cooking at home. Although there are a couple of good Indian restaurants in Bonn, but a little on the pricey end.

The job market is a bit slow due to the inflation.
Tips: Students learn the technical skills before coming to your studies based on your course. Bring warm clothes and cover yourself. You will really learn and enjoy the experience, it is a lifetime opportunity. Learn German before coming to Germany. It will really help with permanent work.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently the job market is a bit slow due to the inflation. You would need more experience and apply for many jobs till you get. Also knowing German is a great advantage. Nevertheless you can stay in Germany after completing your studies by a JoS seeker visa.

Excellent university for starting a research or industry career in Neuroscience.
Tips: Learning German helps a lot, not during the course but after. Most jobs although in English require candidates to also speak German. Also helps to better integrate into society if planning long term here. I did get a scholarship but it is not available anymore. There are many other opportunities to gain like working as a student assistant in a lab for a thesis helped a lot in my case, money wise and professionally. I'm fully satisfied with my course and university. I even pursued my Ph.D. here after Masters and am continuing as a Postdoc researcher here at University of Bonn.
Likes (Indian Food): University Bonn is international and there are always activities going on throughout the year. Bonn is diverse and is excellent for student life. There are German language courses offered by the university for free for the university students. There are career talks, tutorials for students in courses and much more support from the university side.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Excellent infrastructure and research environment. Friendly faculty and faced equal attention from all faculty. Almost all courses offer hands on experience with techniques that are being taught. Lab-oriented courses and practical experience will be heavy. The teaching faculty are mostly German with lab members usually coming from diverse backgrounds.

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.

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.
