Always contact the international office; they offer excellent support.
Tips: Always contact the international office; they offer excellent support. While I didn't receive a scholarship, there are many available. Check daad.de and inquire with the international office about potential scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university, course, and I absolutely love Germany.
Likes (Safety): The university prioritises student safety. There's always a contact person available to assist with any issues, providing personal support. The overall culture is very helpful, and safety concerns are minimal. The city is also relatively safe.
Dislikes (Internships): I have heard great things about internships. While I haven't really completed my Master's and so I cannot share my personal experience. But at the moment my werkstudent job also plays really good. In addition to that the course really prepares you for the jobs after completing the programme.

The University of Mannheim is known for its academic rigour.
Tips: The University of Mannheim is known for its academic rigour, especially in business, economics, and social sciences. Students should be prepared for a fast-paced curriculum, active class participation, and high expectations. It's also helpful to familiarize yourself with the German academic system, which may be quite different from other countries in terms of grading, assessment, and course registration. Knowing some basic German even if your programme is in English, can make daily life much easier. The transition was smooth overall, but there were a few cultural shifts. Germans tend to be very punctual, direct, and structured, which I found refreshing but also took some time to get used to. The academic culture is more independent; you're expected to manage your time and learning without constant guidance. That said, the university and fellow students are very supportive, and there are plenty of integration events for international students. There are a few options for students to apply for scholarships like for e. g., DAAD or university-specific scholarship. The application process involved submitting academic transcripts, a motivation letter, and reference letters. The allowance varied, but it typically covers part of the living expenses, anywhere between 400 to 850 per month, depending on the scholarship type. Lastly, I'm very satisfied with all three. The University of Mannheim offers a high-quality education with experienced faculty and strong research opportunities. My course is both intellectually stimulating and practically relevant. As for Germany, it's a great place to study, safe, culturally rich, and student-friendly in terms of cost compared to many other European countries.

The best university in Germany for every field of study.
Tips: Students should be aware of the course, study area, and professors. They should also be very well known about the course criteria and the university's location. Students who are self-funding should research available scholarships.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): My college experience has been really enjoyable and fulfilling. A typical day involves attending lectures, working on projects with friends, and spending time in the library and common areas. I enjoyed the atmosphere the most.
Dislikes (Student Life): This university is very large. The professors are nice and helpful, and the students are very helpful and friendly. I spent nearly two years there and feel very secure and professional during my academics. I spend around three to four hours in the library.

I would recommend UoM for people who are really hard-working and love studying by themselves.
Tips: Transition was quick, and I experienced no cultural shift. I did not avail any scholarship and funded myself for one year. The course requires independent study, and the country is great for introverts. Overall, I am quite satsified with the university.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected to the city, with trams and buses available for intercity travel. While not cheap, costing around €50 per month, the public transportation is totally convenient. The university and staff are great, but be prepared to do most of your studying independently. The city is good, but life moves at a slow and patient pace.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Since the market is tight, no companies are currently hiring. Considering the general salary package for data scientists is around €40,000-€60,000 to start, I haven't received any interview calls in the past six months, despite having great grades.
