What Students Say
Likes
- It's a reputed university with under 200 ranking. More than reputation, the program is very contemporary with excellent professors mentoring the students.
- Program I studied is in English thus there's no requirement of German proficiency. There's no tuition fees, just a minimal semester registration fee equivalent to around INR 24,000.
- There are abundant research assistant positions in all areas of study (scientific). It is located in a city which is student friendly meaning the cost of living is very affordable.
Dislikes
- The program is in English and one can complete their studies without any knowledge of German. However, if one wants to attend lectures from advanced courses, they need German proficiency. I wish there were more advanced courses taught in English.

Accommodation

Exams
The only standardized test required was of English proficiency. I had a TOEFL score of 107/120. For SOP, mention what you did during undergraduate that made you choose the masters program. Be very specific and don't just say it's some childhood dream. For instance, I did my internship at an R&D institute with some specific tool and the program would allow me to learn more about the techniques. Take LOR from professors that you personally know you and/or have taught you.
Fees
There's no tuition fees, just a minimal semester registration fee equivalent to around INR 24,000.
