Msc Environmental Protection & Agricultural Food Production - Batch of 2027

4.5

Good for international students. Everyone is friendly and helps in the ways which they can.

Tips: Honesty everything is different from India but everything is like affordable when compared to other countries also will get more exposure to the international students which help us to build really good networking. I am really satisfied with my university my course and the country.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is around half an hour from Stuttgart city Centre so the public transportation are quite easy to get and also we can have the Deutschland ticket for u20ac63 for a month where we can travel unlimited. But for traveling with the long distance train. We need to have a separate ticket, but it is still affordable.

Dislikes (Part time work): As the number of international students increases, the option to get part-time job is not as easy as before. It is manageable to do the part-time jobs with academics because there is not much stress for the studies during the lecture period, compared to India. Also would like if we are not confident about the subject, we can even give the exam for the next semester or even later. And also about the average payment for the part-time depends on the companies where we work, or the place we work, most of them pay at least 13.

It is a small university with a lot of opportunities.

Tips: It is a small university with a lot of opportunities, provided you go looking for them. The students who are active in seeking out will have a very fulfilling experience. Scholarship opportunities are usually advertised on the university website, but can be very competitive. The one I got was for 6000. The faculty and administration are very supportive and friendly and are always available for any help needed.

Likes (Student Life): There are quite a few student committees on campus that can be joined. These committees also provide opportunities to get to know different types of people from different countries which is always good for getting the maximum out of an international study experience. There are also a variety of sports that one can choose to do offered by the sports club. The campus is huge with a lot of nature and is very beautiful. Good people.

The university is very academically oriented.

Tips: The university is very academically oriented and students who are planning to join this university, please come with a mind to learn, connect, and catch all opportunities. It's important to learn at least B1 German before coming to Germany, as it helps in better opportunities, connections and your better existence here. Students with two or more years of professional experience after their UG can apply for a DAAD scholarship especially for this programme in agri economics. For others, please closely look at the scholarship page on the university website. There are some scholarships that are applicable to Indian students.

Likes (Public transportation): Stuttgart is well connected with public transportation day and night. It's safe, interconnected and well accessible across the region. Regarding affordability, students under the age of 27 can get a reduced transportation card for 40 euros per month to travel all across the country using regional transportation.

Dislikes (Value for money): Compared to other provinces/states in Germany, in Baden Wurttemberg, international students have to pay 1500 euros per semester apart from the normal semester contribution. But, if you want to be at University of Hohenheim and its top-rated course, Agricultural Economics, then yes, it's worth paying. But if you are looking for courses in other specializes of Agriculture, I would suggest looking for the same level of international and academic ratings.

4.4

The University of Hohenheim is Germany’s No. 1 university in agricultural research.

Tips: Finding accommodation way before the visa application or anything. Accommodation in this city is really hard, so try all the ways you can. Always look at the scholarship page on the university website. There are some applicable for Indian students. Try to apply all. Learn at least B1 level German and come to this country, then opportunities are unlimited. Mingle with all your course mates, build a rapport with either university professors or the team which makes it easy to get student jobs. Contact BRICKS for part time and career application at the university website. If you have at least 2 years of working experience after your UG, apply for the DAAD scholarship for Agricultural Economics.

Likes (Value for money): The university faculty is great when compared to other provinces of Germany; coming to Baden Wruttenberg is not considered super worthy. If you get into other universities for the same course or field, go for it. Along with the university comes a reputation that actually helps you while applying for internships and jobs thereafter. But self funding 1500 every semester is a little hard, though you can make it.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part time options are very competitive compared to 2-3 years before, due to the high number of immigrants or refugees and international students in this city. Also German language is becoming a must, even for unskilled part time jobs. So, better complete the B1 level German and try coming to Germany.

Lots of events and activities.

Tips: Studying in Hohenheim has been a good experience so far, but you are in for a big surprise, it's totally different from Indian teaching. They value your opinion, appreciate your active participation, and also research paper is a big thing during the lectures. Here in Germany, people respect each other's time and are very punctual. They are not doing their degrees just for the sake of it; they are doing it because they are really interested in the topic. Everything besides Hohenheim gives you quite an international background, and things are pretty hill otherwise. Also, about the scholarship, I didn't receive any, but you can check on the DAAD official site. One more thing, please learn some civic sense before coming, also be more open-minded about things and culture, please.

Dislikes (Indian Food): So, we do have Indian restaurants, but they're not that good. I would say it's pretty mid. Other cities in Germany have better Indian restaurants, and you won't get that authentic Indian food. It's all butter chicken, tikka masala, garlic naan, and cheese naan. That's why I cook at home rather than eat out.
