MSc Microsystems Engineering at Uni Freiburg

I would say that it's exciting and challenging and the infrastructure is top notch. There are also a lot of systems in place to support international students. There are a lot of possibilities for one to advance as a student and as a professional. The courses are not easy and one would require a fair bit of self-discipline.

It is highly research based and the lessons are taught by professors actively involved in the aforementioned research. It is not easy and requires a lot of prerequisite knowledge.

I would say that it depends on the subjects taken in your bachelor's degree and your grades. Other than that, IELTS. My score was 8.0 in it. I had to submit a motivation letter outlining my motivation to apply for the course and my future plans. I also submitted a letter of recommendation from a professor and my CV with my academic and professional info in it.

There is no placement program however there are a lot of companies and startups in the area that offer opportunities to Microsystems engineers. The university itself offers a lot of further research opportunities.

I'm doing a couple of student jobs at a startup and also at a research institute called Fraunhofer ISE. You can expect to earn an average of 13 euros per hour.

It's around 1600 euros per semester.

This faculty is quite accommodating to international students and they are generally quite approachable and even quite sociable.

The infrastructure is top notch and you have access to almost everything you can expect.

It's not easy to find accommodation in Freiburg. The rents range from 250 to 450 for student apartments. The prices have increased recently due to the energy crisis. A personal example; I live in an apartment with 4 people with individual bedrooms, a common kitchen and two bathrooms for 380 euros per month in an apartment complex owned by the student union, which is hard to get.
