Research-first, strong CS; basic German helps.
Tips: Research-focused, strong CS, moderate costs; basic German helps. Friendly with no cultural shift but punctuality and paperwork are a must. There were no scholarships.
Likes (Post study jobs): UPB CS grads find prospects in Paderborn/OWL NRW (dSPACE, Diebold Nixdorf, HELLA, Phoenix Contact). Germany offers 18 months post-study stay, then a work permit/BlueCard. Roles: software, embedded, data, test/validation, cloud, DevOps. Entry pay is between 48,000 to 60,000.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Paderborn offers many Indian restaurants and groceries, plus Mensa Indian dishes, but daily home-style variety is limited. Meals run 5-18. I mostly cook for cost and control, eating out 1–2 times a week or choosing Mensa on busy days.

Vigorous curriculum and great student life.
Tips: The university itself is really good in terms of studies, but it is the job scenario that anyone should be careful of. Any courses that are being offered are really great compared to India, where you might not get this much detailed studies and won't learn what you can learn here.
Likes (Safety): Paderborn city itself is one of the safest cities compared to other metropolitan cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich. I personally never heard about anyone getting discriminated against or being harassed in here. These things are not that common here.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I saw my friends completing their master's and still not getting jobs for 1 or even 2 years. I mean, eventually you will get a job, but be prepared to do some odd jobs even after studying, as it is not guaranteed that you will get a job when you just finish.

Apartments are affordable, with good facilities and friendly surroundings.
Tips: Be prepared for a minimum of 3 years. There are no scholarships available. I felt stressed and spent almost 4 years here, completing my Master's and earning 55,000 euros annually. My friends who spent 4 years working in India, gained experience and then came directly for work, are earning 70,000 euros. I am not satisfied with the university.
Likes (Safety): Apartments are cheap and good, with good facilities and friendly surroundings, all within walking distance of the university. I had very positive experiences with the campus and apartments, as they were clean and cozy, and the city is beautiful.
Dislikes (Student Life): The course structure is demanding. There are many assignments and the subjects are challenging. Students need to dedicate a lot of time to studying, completing one subject per semester over four years. I wouldn't recommend this university if you're looking to enjoy and travel. While you can make friends and participate in events completing a Master's degree might be difficult.

Paderborn University is vibrant and centered on academic excellence.
Tips:
Get good at time management so you can plan your stuff and hit deadlines on your own. Learn how to budget, handle tuition, keep your living costs in check and look into scholarships. Keep an eye on your spending and find funding options ahead of time. Sharpen your research, critical thinking, and communication skills. Get familiar with your subject before you start.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Clear, structured immigration pathways for international graduates exist. Policies like post-study work visas and skilled migration programs give graduates practical experience, which is often a major step toward permanent residency.
Dislikes (Student Life): Outdoor events with music, food and games. Friendly competitions for all skill levels. Movie screenings for relaxation. Seminars and guest talks ranging from academic to TEDx-style events. Opportunities for skill-building and networking. Celebrations of diversity, food and dance. Community service and awareness programs.

Interesting learning experience, but not easy.
Tips: The courses are not extremely difficult, but it's also not possible to pass without putting in any effort. You have to work pretty hard to get very good grades. A major positive change is that I am no longer afraid of speaking up and asking questions during lectures. The professors were very encouraging and receptive to even the most minor doubts. Most of the internship opportunities I've found are from the career fair on campus, rather than the student jobs portal. The career fair is hosted once or twice a year on campus. Also, I've had some luck finding internships on LinkedIn. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Most of the professors I’ve interacted with are very approachable and passionate about the subjects they teach. I found almost all of the courses I attended to be very interesting. However, the professors also have high expectations, so be sure to attend the first few lectures to see if the course is the right fit for you.
