MS in Computer Science - Batch of 2026
4.1
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.

A supportive, enriching, and culturally diverse university experience.
Tips: Students should be aware that the college is academically strong and has good facilities, but it requires self-discipline and active participation. Basic knowledge of the local language is beneficial for daily life. The initial transition was smooth, and people are generally helpful.
Likes (Public transportation): The system here is highly efficient, reliable, and well-integrated with the daily needs of students and professionals. The infrastructure is designed in such a way that one rarely feels the need to rely heavily on private vehicles, as the coverage and frequency of public transport options make commuting smooth and stress-free.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The process is structured but comes with uncertainties. My chances of permanent settlement are fairly good if I meet the criteria. I would like to immigrate, given the right opportunity, and language is a major concern.

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. Overall, 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.

Master of Science in Business computing - Batch of 2025

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. Be ready for school and life challenges with a positive attitude and ways to deal with stress.
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.

Practical learning and good career opportunities at Paderborn.
Tips: Be prepared for self-study. Lectures may not always cover everything. Also, some admin processes can be slow, so plan ahead. I felt a shift, especially in communication style. People are more direct here, and everything runs on time. I adapted gradually and now feel comfortable. I didn't get any scholarship, but there are options like DAAD or university-specific ones. The course is relevant and practical, the university has good resources, and the country offers good job prospects after graduation.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are good job opportunities after graduation, especially in tech and engineering, but the process can be slow, and language skills sometimes matter. Many medium and large companies in Germany offer visa sponsorship, especially in the IT, automotive and finance sectors, but not all small companies do. Typical roles include Software Developer, Data Analyst, Electrical Engineer, and Business Analyst. Starting salaries typically range from 45,000 to 60,000 euros per year, depending on position and experience.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very limited options for food from my home country. Even when available, the taste is not authentic, and the quality is inconsistent. There are mostly German, Italian and Turkish restaurants nearby. Prices vary: Budget options, such as Doner and Pizza, cost around 5-10 euros, mid-range options, such as Pasta, Schnitzel, are 10-20 euros, and higher-end places are 25 euros and above. I prefer cooking at home. It's more affordable, and I can prepare food that tastes closer to what I'm used to.
