MSc in Electrical and Information Engineering - Batch of 2026

So far the experience is really nice.
Tips: Faculty members are excellent. Labs are well-equipped. Plenty of courses are available. So choose wisely and independently. Be well prepared. Study beforehand if required; do not wait before exams. Also note, this university is a 'universitas' from which you can do jobs or go for research. Not like a university of applied sciences. So, before applying, do your own research and align with your interests.

M.Sc. Computer Science - Batch of 2027
3.7
Safe, Friendly and Fun Part of Northern Germany :)
Tips: I have transitioned quite easily after coming here. It has been a very good experience up till now. The education system is a bit different, and the university is very research-oriented. Self-study is very important. I did not apply for any scholarships yet, but there are a few good options. I am highly satisfied with my university.
Likes (Safety): The city of Kiel is very safe and liberal. I have never faced racism here and the people here are friendly and kind. The students are safe and can get help from various facilities like psychological counseling at the university of Kiel. I have had many good experiences with a lot of NGOs and student groups.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The state of Schleswig-Holstein is not so popular for IT jobs. It's more agricultural land. Although the startup culture is improving in cities like Kiel and Lübeck. It's still not enough. There are very few companies that would offer visa-sponsored jobs in Kiel. The job roles would mostly be remote, and the starting salary would be around 50,000 euros per annum for entry-level IT roles.

Master of Science in Quantitative Finance - Batch of 2028

I tried being objective, judge wisely.
Tips: There's no one right answer to whether a university is good or bad. Select the university based on the course you want to do and the modules they offer. If you decide to join the QF course, like me, be aware it's a pure applied mathematics course, not a practical finance course. So have a good math background, or be prepared to put in extra hours.
Likes (Safety): It's a rather small city, circled around 2 universities. Safety is not a concern at all. Avoid the area called 'Garden,' if you can. Walking around the city near the university is fun, given the weather is nice. People generally tend to mind their own business, so do not expect them to be too friendly, but they're not harmful, at least in my experience.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There's not a lot of Indian restaurants. As such, trusting the Indian food outside to be good enough is not a good choice. They are modified to fit the German taste pallette. There are other good options across cuisines, but I would suggest, try eating at home.
