Master of Science in Physics - Batch of 2025
4.3
The cities are quite safe and friendly in Germany.
Tips: There are plenty of difference cultural, however it is not vast in the big cities. The BCGS scholarship is the best for Physics students coming to Bonn and Cologne. I am quite satisfied with the course and in general, I like Germany as well however finding full time jobs in 2026 is not easy. You should be aware of this.
Likes (Safety): In Germany the cities are quite safe and friendly, and the campus is open; in fact you can choose to go sit in any given class. Outside the university, most of the time it is safe, but in big cities like every part of the world, there are pretty crimes. I felt safe for the most part.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships is something that the college may help with only a little, as there is no placement cell, etc. However, there are possibilities to look for internships through friends and referrals, which is the best case scenario, and always try looking for connections.

University of Cologne is academically oriented.
Tips: Germans are very cold and serious. I didn't have any scholarship. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my experience. Job market in Germany is good, but not for non German speakers. Professors and the university staff are usually very friendly and polite. It is better to learn German to better fit into the society.
Likes (Value for money): As it is super cheap compared to British or Irish or USA universities. German universities cost around 1k or 2k per year only. So it is great for value for money. However, not speaking Germany is hard for finding a job and living in Germany. Therefore up to you.
Dislikes (Part time work): Unfortunately I joined during covid so we could not experience part time work or seminars, or any online activities. We did not have the opportunity to experience ordinary student life due to the pandemic. But maybe now it should be better. Most of our classes were offline.

Master of Arts (MA) in Educational Science in Intercultural Communication and Education (In German) - Batch of 2026
2.8
Theoretical, Prestigious, opportunities
Tips: I would suggest choosing the University more for its location, being in a big city offers you more opportunities and more international opportunities. University of Cologne is very difficult to get into and has a big name, but the courses are heavily academically oriented and sometimes lack the practical depth required in the job market. But the location is golden, Ku00f6ln, Du00fcsseldorf and Bonn have a huge number of Job opportunities and are very friendly and good for international students.
Likes (Safety): I think you can access most public spaces safely, even at night around the campus. I have not faced any form of discrimination at the campus or at the University as a person of colour. Secondly, as a woman, I have accessed the library at night and come home completely safe.
Dislikes (Value for money): The course was very theoretical and less practical. If you are taking an academic loan and indebting yourself for this course, in my honest opinion, it is not worth it. I studied on a full scholarship, that is why it worked out, but if I had to pay out of my own pocket, I am not sure if I would be comfortable doing it.

MSc in Computational Sciences - Batch of 2026
3.1
Good education but not fitting exactly into job market
Tips: German culture is quite different; they are more introverted than Indian students, but they are still kind in most cases, at least in my study program. They are not as welcoming as Indians. No scholarships. Satisfied with university but could have offered or tried more in terms of placements.
Likes (Value for money): Yes, it is extremely low considering the standard of education. There is definitely a lot of effort put into improving the quality of education on a regular basis. The only issue is that the coursework doesn't directly match jobs outside academia.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I usually prefer cooking for myself. Indian food here generally costs around 15 euros or more per main dish at least, and they taste mediocre. I think I make better food, and it's cheaper and healthier to eat at home. If I eat out, it's only because I'm too tired or craving something specific.

Yes, Indian students can qualify for an English waiver at the University of Cologne only if their previous HZB or UG degree was completed entirely in English.

Students are required to provide official proof to confirm that their previous qualification was completely English taught.
