Professional and helpful.
Tips: The university welcomes every international student with open arms. They conduct a lot of initial events to make us comfortable. The academic staff is well-experienced and know how to work with international students. Adjoining the university is a science park that hosts a lot of companies, where one can find student jobs.

Great study fun balance, long term friendships and life changing experiences.
Tips: Studies would not be easy but the faculty is very helpful and the resources are good. If you put in consistent work and actually engage with your peers, it gets much easier. There are enough international students to mingle with however, Germans are also very kind and, contrary to popular belief, quite friendly. You can get scholarships if you have good grades. Very satisfied with the experiences.
Likes (Student Life): Despite being a small city, there were many cultural events, festivals, etc. The time tables are not heavy so you get time to work on your studies, reports, and projects during the day itself. The course structure was very well organised and more emphasis was placed on projects that brought flexibility as well as accountability for the work one did. As for the city, summer is amazing. Student dorms are very well equipped and there are many city-wide discounts for students.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus jobs are limited. In the city, language can be a barrier and it is a small city, so fewer options. There are more waitressing, restaurant, and such jobs than your course-related ones. The payout, though, is not bad and can help you manage expenses.

Amazing exposure with unique challenges.
Tips: It's easier if you learn German to connect with local. I got the Stibet scholarship. Usually, it's possible to get when doing a masters thesis. The university is great. Some departments have very high standards and it's difficult to connect with them unless you do exceptional work.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected and the city is small. Student dorms can connect to the campus within 30 minutes. It's possible to find many accommodations around the city specifically for students. Usually the programme helps u find one for 2 to 3 years. Post that you need to find your own.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The market is a little tough. Usually you can do a research assistant quite easily where u did a thesis but it requires a little luck to get hire. Job roles in QA RF engineering, Digital comms and embedded systems and AI can open up but you need to do more apart from a Masters.

Affordable, rigorous and career defining.
Tips: Students should know that a transition period is required to adapt to the German way of life. As an Indian I had to adjust to a culture that is strictly punctual and efficiency-based. I applied to Ulm University independently and secured a tuition scholarship. This has been a life-changing decision; I am deeply satisfied with the course and the opportunities available here for genuine students.
Likes (Value for money): I secured a full tuition scholarship. The curriculum is strict and industry oriented and strong post-study job placement. Dormitory and food costs are manageable and affordable. The value for money is outstanding.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships here are voluntary rather than mandatory which gives flexibility. If you are willing to put in the effort to apply by yourself, the opportunities are accessible. It is a good environment for self-starters who want experience.

Study at an interdisciplinary research focused university.
Tips: Students should learn basic life skills like cooking before starting their international studies, as it helps a lot with proper nutrition and health during the time of studies. Eating out is a difficult option as food outside is expensive. One can avail scholarships like Deutschstipendium and DAAD stipendium scholarships, however it will partially help with living expenses as it is around 250-300 per month. The university is good with a focus on interdisciplinary research.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is directly connected to the city with both bus and tram options. Public transport is really good in this mid size tier 2 city. A monthly subscription called the Deutschland ticket grants you access to all public transportation systems in the entire country including Local Trains, Bus, Trams and Metro.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Germany's economy has been stagnant for the last 2 years with little signs of recovery and due to the language barrier recruitment of foreign students with littleor no German skills is below average. Students with good technical skills letters of recommendation and atleast B1 German skills can get a job with a salary of around 55000 to 60000.

Mixed emotions, but truly endeavoring experience.
Tips: I recommend all the students who are interested in joining Ul university to be really good at German or the struggle is real at the end of the day. There typically would be no time for one to learn language skills after coming to Ulm, as the academics and part time really take up your time. People intend to earn money and I see a lot of students really forget about studies after seeing a lot of possibilities for money with part time but it doesn't help in the long run.
Likes (Student Life): There are many prospects for students, the international experience, getting to know individuals from different countries, networking, cross cultural experience, all of these are good for work in the long run. You get to know how things are run in different parts of the world. Your communication has improved. Many clubs exist in the university and many events to participate in and socialize.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Most companies do, getting the contact is the tougher part. Once that is received, it's a cakewalk for visas being sponsored. The packages really depend on the skills that one holds and the language knowledge one really has, in my opinion, knowing German really matters no matter how good a skill holder you are.

Anything you would want to ask experts?Answered 7 years ago
Hi,
For undergraduate programs, you will need German language proficiency but check the language of instruction on university websites. At least A2 level is required for most UG programs. You can also check this if it helps for your German language training:
