- Independence of course structure: For biology, there was no compulsory course, I took whatever I wanted
- Research internships and practical courses: These can be upto 10 credits which made my life easier by taking up lesser theoretical courses (and subsequent exams) and also gave me practical experience
- No compulsory attendance: Except for seminar courses (presentation courses) and practical courses, there is no compulsory attendance. As foreign students, this makes our lives easier by making our own schedule to balance with student jobs.
Dislikes
- Extracurricular activity: For some reason all the emphasis and enthusiasm shown towards extracurricular activities in Indian colleges goes to zero in German universities. I think there is choir group and some other drama or musical groups in TUM. This is mainly due to the culture here. European students were already working student jobs since they were 16 years old and they are taking paid sports classes or dance classes or pursue other hobbies on professional level. That is no one would even play badminton just like that, people pay 15 euros for 1 hour to play badminton in the court. All this money involved makes it hard for us as students to pursue our hobbies, especially on top of rent and insurance and our own expenses on other stuff.
- Student jobs: It can be pretty tough to land student jobs especially in pharmaceutical companies and so due to German language barrier or simply due to ease and preference of the companies working with European passports. However, it is easy to work in McDonalds, Dominos, as delivery partners in food companies, etc.
- Internships: Considering how pharma and biotech companies ask for industry experience, I think TUM Biology program can make an industry internship compulsory. Compulsory because it will make it easy to get an internship in industry. If after MSc degree, you want to go into industry, I highly recommend to do atleast one industry internship for 6 months.
Course Curriculum
- It was easy for me and I think people do not find it difficult because you take courses of your choice.
- Positive aspect: The General biology program makes a lot of choices available. I did courses related to biochemistry, virology, fungal biology, and bacterial biology, and there is so much more. Biology offers 7 specialisations, including ecology and plant biology, out of which you can take 3-4.
- Negative aspect: There were some courses that I wanted to take but were only available in German. And seminars and practical courses can be hard to get into due to the limited number of participants.
- Generally there are not more than one or two classes in a day if you are doing 30 theoretical credits. Classes can start as early as 8am. And I think the latest class that I did lasted till 6pm. However, a German language course can start at 8pm and last up to 10pm. Also, when you do research internships, usually you give whole days for 6 weeks.
- In Biology program in our batch there were maybe around 50 or 60 students and 25-30 were Indians.
Fees
- For our batch it was only 85 euros per semester; now it is 3000 euros or something per semester.
- ~1000 euros is enough if you have rent of <=500 euros. health insurance is 145 euros per month, deutschland ticket for students is ~40 euros, and this covers all the public transport, buses, trams and trains. Groceries can be 100 euros, but it can be more if you want to eat more indian food (as indian groceries are expensive) or if you have a very specific diet, for example, too many fruits or too many vegetables. I eat more milk, eggs, bread, tortillas, frozen fish, chicken, etc., so on bad months (more expense here and there) I still can get by on 100 euros or less of groceries. And then going out with friends can cost 15 euros or more, so I always keep some aside for that, but I was never able to save anything in these 1000-1200 euros. And then you might have to buy toiletries or kitchen stuff, which is an irregular expense, but for example, surf costs ~15 euros or so, so it can destroy your budget for that month.
