Best research oriented education.
Tips: Make sure to do well research about courses and professors research field etc. Learn German before coming so that well integrated into society and people. Rather, it's not mandatory but will suggest to learn. The course is nice but not industry oriented so keep in mind while choosing an internship.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Easily accessible for students' jobs. Helping with thesis, collecting nice information about different groups' topics related to different subgroups, etc., offers easy internship opportunities under different professors which can work on diverse topics and areas.

Challenging but rewarding.
Tips: Students should be ready to accept the cultural differences and try to gel in. The university and country is very challenging at first, but rewarding at the end. Jena is a small city, therefore English speaking people are less. Make sure to invest some time in learning the language.

Good academic experience.
Tips: It is a good university for Biology lovers. Multiple subject options and good collaborations. Internships are not paid but they teach you a lot happening in the field. University life is very much dependent on your interests or how actively you participate in activities. The city, Jena, is quite small but beautiful.

Adapting, learning and thriving.
Tips: Before joining, students should be aware that the academic workload is quite intensive, especially in the first semester. The bureaucracy and the language barriers may also pose initial challenges, so it's better to learn German, atleast what you will need for the daily life. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the university, course and life in this country as most of the faculty are supportive, the course is also really good.
Likes (Value for money): There isn't really a tuition fee at university Jena, but you do pay a semester contribution each semester- it's basically a student service fee. It comes with a lot of perks: free transportation across Thuringia, student discounts, access to university sports and facilities, and also the deutschland ticket is way cheaper for students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are Indian restaurants in the city, but the food quality isn't very good and the options are quite limited. It's nice to go there once in a while, though. Sometimes you can ask them to make the food more spicy- or as they call it, "like India". Most dishes are from the northern region, basically the types of food that are more familiar and popular among Germans.

MS in Photonics - Batch of 2026
4.7
Jena is a small city, finding internships can sometimes be difficult.
Tips: Jena is a small city and not the harshest one, it’s very easy to navigate and settle. I did not have any scholarships because I did not know about them, but the university does provide scholarships of about 900 euros per month.
3) I’m very satisfied with the choice I made to study photonics.
Likes (Value for money): The course provides core information about basics and fundamentals of photonics. My branch was called Abbe school of photonics and Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe such big scientists and researchers have studied here long ago, so I feel it is prestigious and well value for money.
Dislikes (Internships): Jena is a small city, finding internships can sometimes be challenging since all students can not be well accommodated by Jena. In terms of guidance, you are on your own and internships are available however supervisors prefer to take someone with more experience.

FSU is a nice university with more focus on light optics.
Tips: It is kind of a bit hectic getting settled in during the first semester. You need to be prepared for accepting huge cultural differences. My allowance is 2200 euros in hand per month, available from the scholarship. I applied for the position via email to a list of professors I like. I am quite satisfied with the quality of life offered and the education being provided at an affordable tuition fee.
Likes (Safety): You can roam around the city late at night without being worried alone. I have never experienced any kind of insecure behaviour from the people around me. You can walk anywhere without being worried about your luggage being stolen if you keep it outside.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Per dish cost around 16 euros if you go to almost any restaurant nearby. I used to cook for myself, but most often had to pick up groceries every three or four days, depending on my food habits. Sometimes you have to stock up a bit, as on the weekends all the supermarkets are closed.
