MSc Computational Biology and Bioinformatics - Batch of 2026
4.3
There are not many industries located in Göttingen.
Tips: University of Göttingen has been a great experience for me so far. The wide variety of international exposure with people from all over the world has helped me a lot in shaping me both academically and personally. The international office at the university has been pretty friendly as they help you initially in settling down and help with all the administrative stuff like city registration and housing. The cultural shift can feel quite huge at first, but the transition was smooth. Most of the people in Göttingen speak English and are quite helpful which makes day to day life a lot easier. I was not fortunate enough to receive a scholarship but I managed to get some part time jobs which I balanced along with my studies and helped for the entire duration of my stay here in Göttingen. Part-time opportunities are very common, especially in universities or Max Planck institutes which provide a unique opportunity to learn alongside earning. I would highly rate the university especially for the course, as it provides too much flexibility where I can pursue my own interests and choose subjects on my own. Germany provides a good platform for starting and building a career in Bioinformatics. I am highly satisfied with the course and the opportunity that the university provides, which align perfectly with my interests and motivation.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected by buses. The buses are clean and frequent. They are quite affordable and convenient. Along with the university registration we get a Deutschland ticket, where one can take an unlimited number of rides through the city bus lines. The city is also well connected by train services, both high-speed (ICE) and regional trains.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post study jobs are a bit tricky in Gottingen. There are not many industries located in Göttingen for the job roles especially for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. However there are some good companies like Evotec and Sartorius that offer some permanent positions. There are some jobs in the University Medical Centre, Max Planck Institute. They offer various roles like Research assistant, Bioinformatician or research scientist.

A rewarding international student experience in Göttingen.
Tips: This university is very well-known for its research oriented background thereby those students who want to pursue any STEM courses and pursue PhD specifically it's a great opportunity for them. Secondly, the students must learn at least the B1 level of the German language before joining this university. But overall this University is very student-friendly and there are a lot of opportunities to grow even as an international student. The cultural diversity and exclusiveness of this university make it the most preferred destination for Indian students especially.

Strong academics and friendly culture.
Tips: To be prepared for the course according to the European education system and not the Indian system. To not mug up things and write but to understand everything with a practical perspective. Most important is to interact with others, make friends and blend in with how others do.
Likes (Value for money): The organisation of the course, structure and execution of the course by the faculty make it top. The way every student is treated with respect and not just someone who paid for it feels it's incredible. The most important factor here would be discipline. That is very important to learn.

Göttingen is a great university city.
Tips: Göttingen is known as a university city, so it's full of students which offers you many opportunities in many ways, in terms of making new international friends and joining different study clubs or organisations, etc. People from this city are not very conservative, and you can easily adapt to the culture and people over here. Due to the many universities, the number of students (youth) is more so it makes a big difference in making your cultural difference wide, as there are many international students and also students from different parts of Germany. Talking about scholarship, personally, I didn't receive any scholarship. But one can apply for Deutschland stipendium or Niedersachsen stipendium. I'm pretty much satisfied with this university in terms of academia, however I feel a lack of cultural events or inter department competitions. I'm loving the student life in Germany, as you can develop many skills, grow yourself more, deepen your knowledge in your area of interest, and at the same time can earn money by doing part time or mini jobs.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All faculty members in every department are very experienced and experts in their own field. They are very friendly and humble, always open to discussions and clarifying our doubts. Talking about particularly my field, we have lectures from experts in the field which make the whole module way more informative and give deep insights into that topic. Our teaching faculty members are from different nationalities, and I would say it's pretty much diverse.
Dislikes (Public transportation): As this city is relatively smaller than other cities, there are only bus options, whereas other cities have trams, ubahn, Sbahn, metro, etc. Even though each part of the city is well connected to each other, due to less options of transport it takes quite a long time to reach shorter distances. For students, we get a Deutschland ticket so we don't have to pay anything for any transportation.

Transformation and learning something new.
Tips: You will see cultural differences but you will get adjusted. It's best if you know how to cook for your meals. If your course requires you to finish a certain level of German or English level try to finish and submit it as soon as you can. You will have stress free time during university. I love my university and all the students and professors are pretty cool.
Likes (Safety): I have travelled and have walked around at midnight. It's a pretty safe and friendly small city and less tourists. There is an international office where you can go and talk about your difficulties and they actually care and try to help you out. The city is quite peaceful.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are good. But for my course, I see them for two to three classes and I don't see them again but you can always contact them through email. And I really love how we get hands on experience in the wed labs and exposure to different labs in the city.

It's one of the best places to study in Germany for a student.
Tips: The city is very student friendly with a huge multiethnic international student body. The faculty is varied and very big, especially for life sciences. There's a very active student association, a sizeable amount of student accommodation options as well.
Likes (Indian Food): There are a lot of good Indian restaurants that are spread out all over the town. Some offer student discounts. The quality of food is very good, and in most places nearly the same as what you'd get back home in terms of flavour. The prices are comparatively reasonable.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship market here is very saturated for most streams. Although you can land internships, those will mostly be academic. An industry or a hybrid internship is very competitive. Fluent German is almost a default expectation and non-German speakers will struggle even more.
