Details of Duisburg Essen University
Tips: The University is one of the biggest in Germany in terms of International Students. - They have 2 campuses: Duisburg and Essen. Both campuses have Gyms, a sports complex, and a lot of other activities. - You will get full liberty to select the subjects, apart from some Mandatory ones! - Participate in Different Events and Parties to meet people from Different Countries!
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is between Mulheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg. But there are continuous buses running between Duisburg Railway Station and the university campus, there is also a Tram running between Mulheim an der Ruhr Railway station to University campus! - The Public Transport is free. The cost is included in your Semester fees.
Dislikes (Internships): You have to figure it out by yourself, about the Internships and suitable roles, and how to apply for them. - Yes, internships are available in the respective field! Logistic/Supply chain is in Demand in Germany. - To make it easier, you have to learn German as early as possible.

Duisburg-Essen university has various courses both in English and German. Also canteen food good
Tips: Find accommodation because it is very hard to get one here in Germany. Also, if you have any friends, tell them to find one for you, and also try to get an appointment at the foreign office ASAP. Also, beware when finding accommodation because of fraud. Most public universities give you a free transportation pass for every semester.

MSc Computational Mechanics - Batch of 2021
3.7
Very good studies but not for middle class people from India
Tips: The first thing to know before coming here is that any exam that you want to pass only has 3 attempts. If you fail on your 3rd attempt, not only your admission but also your visa will be cancelled. Indian students mostly cannot avail scholarships. University of Duisburg Essen is very strict and advanced in teaching compared to Bachelors or previous studies compared from India. Keep it in mind that anyone who wants to join here has a shift in their entire perspective of thinking on how to study and how much time to spend on studying. Almost more than 90% of Indian students who pass out from this university were spending 3 or more years for master's and 5 or more years for bachelor's studies. If you want to do the part-time job while studying at this university, you must add at least one extra year to these timelines.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are very experienced, and teaching is always good if you want to study here. There is no point in saying otherwise if you are not keen on studying. International friendly staff and you will rarely experience racism. You will find good diversified faculty here. Reaching out to any faculty requires a prior appointment. So planning ahead is always essential here.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Let’s be real, the current job market is pretty brutal right now. If you're planning to do your master's at Duisburg-Essen, just know that the surrounding cities are absolutely packed with international students and expats. Because of that, the competition for every single part-time job or internship in the area is insane—you’re basically competing with a massive crowd for the same few roles. On top of that, the courses at this uni are heavily geared toward research and academic theory. They do a great job of pushing a passion for science and further studies, but they honestly don't prepare you at all for how cutthroat the actual job market is.

It is a nice university for studies.
Tips: A little transition is necessary when you shift to a new country; you need to change your attitude and lifestyle a little according to the country or society. Here, we have temples in nearby cities, so we visit it ocationally or regularly, and we also celebrate our festivals. I am very satisfied with my university, the studies, atmosphere, events, campus, and professors.
Likes (Public transportation): The Bus stops, and the tram station is very near the university. The university is 3 to 4 stops away from the main railway station. And the frequency of buses and trams is also good during the day time, in night, there is also good connectivity, but a little less to day time.
Dislikes (Internships): The competition in obtaining an internship is rather high; therefore, it is necessary to be ready mentally, even if you spend two months or even eight months trying to obtain an internship opportunity, and, additionally, a good knowledge of the German language is also very important in interviews.

University of Duisburg-Essen
Tips: Massive cultural shift: German is required to be able to live properly and enjoy university life to the fullest. Personally quite satisfied with the university because I was able to take advantage of its benefits, but several students do not know about them. I received a scholarship of 300 euros per month.

A Rollercoaster worth taking
Tips: Concentrate on Language and Planning Your semester ahead is important. The cultural shift I have experienced is about communication and punctuality. Student life often feels lonely and stressful—it's up to us how we tackle it. I made many friends; it worked for me.
Likes (Student Life): I really enjoyed my student life—it's the balance of fun, classes, the canteen, and friends. All because I know the language and I have my own bunch of friends—these people around me made my life easy. I was part of the student union—so I happened to organize many parties funded by the university.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many Indian restaurants are around the university, but there are many other cuisines available. Usually we prefer the university canteen—it's one of the best options for students. It's budget-friendly, and students can choose multiple cuisines. My flatmates and I usually cook dinner together.
