Msc in Molecular Medicine - Batch of 2025

4.7

It is actually a great place to live and study.

Tips: Know about the culture, food and festivals before you come. Easy to integrate. Learn the language a bit. I didn't avail scholarships but there are multiple options. It should be worth your time and efforts.

MS in Molecular Life Sciences: Microbiology, Biotechnology and Biochemistry - Batch of 2023

4.5

Life in Germany: A quiet world.

Tips: The cultural shift is something huge that I had to go through. It is very quiet here which was definitely a surprise to me. But the course coordinator was more than welcoming to us and made the local bureaucracy very easy. The course is really good and prepares everyone for the outer world.

Likes (Value for money): For my course, there was a stipend that every student received each month. This stipend is enough to cover the insurance and the living costs. It was also covered by travel expenses when I went around Europe and also back home. The university also increased the stipend once due to inflation and it helped.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian restaurants but the food is really Europeanized and hence doesn't really taste like it does back home. The prices are okay ish one meal can be somewhere around 20 euros now. I like to cook food and hence prefer eating inside only.

MA in Modern Indian Studies (In German) - Batch of 2026

4.7

Amazing student life; knowledge of German language is crucial.

Tips: Things students should know before coming here - Knowledge of the German language is crucial, even if your course is in English. Acclimating to a new culture takes time. Germans can be different from Indians; they're less social and follow rules to an immense degree. Niedersachsen scholarship and the Deutschlandstipendium are available for students. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Value for money): There are no tuition fees because the University of Göttingen (also known as The Georg-August University) is a public university. Public universities do not charge tuition. Students need to cover accommodation, health insurance, and living expenses. Groceries cost roughly 180-200 euros a month. Statutory health insurance is 144 euros, and the average rent is 300 euros. Public transport is free.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There is a finding work visa available after graduation which is quite helpful. Germany is generally pro immigrant making it easier to settle here. However it's important to note that German language proficiency is crucial for this. I would like to immigrate permanently if given the opportunity.

Applied Computer Science (M.Sc.) - Batch of 2017

4.2

A place for quality distance learning for professional and personal growth.

Tips: I have changed from an introvert to an extrovert. There was a cultural shift and I got adjusted to it. Having at least B1 knowledge of the German language is recommended before you go to any University in Germany. I have availed scholarship for my masters' thesis. I spoke with my mentor and he did allow me to get a scholarship for my thesis. It was 1000 Euros per month for 6 months only. Overall, I am satisfied with the course, the university, and the country. I have learned a lot of lessons and traveling to a different place changed me as a whole person and I liked the change.

Likes (Safety): The lawns are very strict there at the University. The police would be patrolling during the night. Lost and found, mental health, and job & student support were the other facilities that were provided for the student's safety. I did not face any bad experiences in the city. I had a good experience as it was a student city.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I studied in a very small town. There were only 3 to 4 Indian restaurants. Out of them only 1 or 2 had affordable pricing as students but still, I could not afford to eat there daily as it would be expensive for a monthly budget. I prefer to cook myself for healthy purposes and due to my expense constraints.

MA in Modern Indian Studies (In German) - Batch of 2026

4.6

University of Göttingen is a place for excellence.

Tips: The transition to the cultural life here was easy. The city is international in its nature with several opportunities for students to interact with students and faculty from all across the world. The Lower Saxony Scholarship and the Germany Scholarship are two options that the students can opt for. Overall, I'm happy with the faculty, the city and the university.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at the Centre for Modern Indian Studies is absolutely brilliant. Some of the leading figures of labour history at the moment work here. The academic environment is rigorous. We're taught how to discern complex, often inaccessible texts. The faculty is also diverse in its nature, both on the basis of their areas of specialisation and where they come from.

Dislikes (Internships): Regular internship fairs are organised both by the Centre for Modern Indian Studies and the University of Göttingen. Career Planning Workshops and Grant Writing Workshops also take place. The internship opportunities, however, become a bit scarce if you don't speak German. You can get credit transfers for internships or your work experience.

M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2022

Best university, perfect for student life and excellent faculty.

Tips: The University of Gottingen is good. The academic culture and the exam pattern are different than in India, and you have to be self-motivated. The faculty and staff are really approachable, and if you put in the effort, you will be successful. German is mandatory if you plan to stay in Germany long term, but not while you're at the University of Gottingen, as long as the courses are international. The University of Gottingen isn't perfect, but it’s a great place to study.
