Tips to enhance your application
- Not that I can't remember anything other than the obvious documentation. But make sure the transcripts are there and the CV is up to date. And look for some CV formats that are commonly used in the country in which you’re applying.
Admission Experience
- I chose TUHH because of its strong reputation in engineering and applied sciences, particularly in chemical and bioprocess engineering. Germany, known for its high-quality education, research and strong industrial ties, was the ideal choice for my master’s studies.
- Hamburg itself is a vibrant city with a great student life, diverse culture, and numerous career opportunities. As a tutor at TUHH, I've also gained experience in teaching and mentoring, which has also been rewarding. Overall, my experience at TUHH has been great and personally fulfilling.
Class Schedule
8
- The schedule depends from semester to semester. In the first semester, I had lectures for almost 5 days a week. And around 5-6 classes in a week. One lecture lasts for 1 and a half hours. There are around 60–80 students in the class.
- There are a lot of Indians, usually almost 78-80%. Almost 5 hours might go for home work.
Faculty
7
- The lecture is usually given by a professor and he has some of his PhD students who are tutors for the master’s students. The tutors are the ones we usually contact in case we have any doubts.
- And all the professors are well knowledgeable but the teaching skills differ from person to person. To get a part-time job, you can usually contact the PhD students of a specific institute you’re interested in and if the PhD students need any help with their projects, they can hire you.
Campus Life
9
- In my university, we've got one entire building as a library where there are tables for students to study and also computer pools where we have access to a lot of useless software. And there are some festivals; the most known is the summer festival, where there are dance and singing performances with a lot of food stalls from different countries. Most of the parties are organised by different student councils.
Part Time Jobs
- Every student who comes here would opt to work in his/her field. Usually in the technical fields, students get paid around 14-16€/hr. The usual process to apply for jobs is to go to various job portals (like LinkedIn) and look for a job of your interest. Or you can also go to a specific company website and apply there.
- Getting jobs is pretty difficult, which completely depends on the CV and also references and luck. The minimum wage here is 12.8€/hr. Although jobs in companies have better pay. Getting internships and jobs is a bit difficult; all you can do is keep trying. Under a student visa, you can work for around 80 hours per month.
Placement
5
- There are a lot of full-time job opportunities but in the end, knowing German plays a key role in securing jobs. The salary can vary from 35,000€ to 50000€ per month. And obviously it is very difficult to get jobs here as well and luck also plays a huge role.
- There are people with 3-4 years of experience who haven’t gotten a job and there are people with 2-3 months of experience who have gotten jobs.
Accommodation
Off Campus
8
- Getting a house in huge cities is very difficult since there aren’t many free houses and a lot of them are expensive. Here you can look for houses on platforms like WG gesucht or Kleinanzeigen, where you can directly contact the landlord.
- The best thing that can be done is to apply for student dorms as soon as possible since they’re completely furnished and cheap.
