My experience in a German university of applied sciences

I applied to 5 colleges: Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt Deggendorf Institute of Technology rwth aachen university Saarland University (TUHH) Technische Universität Hamburg Heidelberg university I got accepted into all of them because I had a nice academic background and a good international schooling record, plus a powerful extracurricular. Firstly, when I applied, they took 2 months to accept me. After accepting me, I got my admission letter, and then i had to upload all these documents for my enrolment. Overall the admission process for my college was fairly simple; they had a page where I had to submit all my documents in a span of 2 months, and they had written what all documents I needed. Some here require completion of an APS certificate, IELTS, a bonafide from a previous college, and completion of the 1st year in your Indian college without failing any subject. They had other optional documents or some documents you could just get in a few days....Read More

I Applied for 4 colleges, received admission to Deggendorf Institute of Technology (Technische Hochschule Deggendorf) University of Passau - Master of Artificial Intelligence Engineering Status: Rejected due to less credits in AI and related subjects during bachelor's degree University of Lübeck - Master of Science in IT Security Status: Rejected due to less credits in certain subjects during the bachelor's degree FAU Erlangen - Master of Science in Data Science Status: Rejected due to lesser credits in Data Science and related subjects during bachelor's degree Deggendorf Institute of Technology (Technische Hochschule Deggendorf) - Master of Science in Applied Computer Science Status: Accepted after passing admission test The course that I chose in this college was very interesting because it had subjects from the embedded systems field as well, which I feel suits the German market more and would give me good exposure to the embedded software development field as well. Admission process: First I had to apply online and submit the documents online itself in their portal and my consultancy, Yes Germany, helped me to do so. After that I had to give an online proctored exam, and I was accepted after the results of the exams were announced. Eligibility criteria were to meet the minimum credit requirement (180 ECTS or 210 ECTS) and to have an IELTS score of 6.5, after which you would be invited to an admission test and after clearing that is when you'll be given the admission. Overall, the only challenging task is to clear the admission test, which was moderately tough; not very tough. a good 2 or 3 weeks of revision of the concepts studied in the bachelor's and taking the mock test, given by DIT themselves, will help a lot. I applied to the summer intake, as I graduated with my bachelor's degree in the month of June, 2024 and was preparing for IELTS and was gathering other documents. The application process was handled by my consultancy, whose name is Yes Germany, and they were very supportive throughout the process. They turned in my application in the month of October, and I got an invitation for the admission in the month of November, in the 3rd week of November was when I gave my test and in the 2nd week of December, I got my admission from Deggendorf Institution of Technology....Read More

Professors and mentors are easy to approach. The canteen, often referred to as "Mensa," is available at every university, I believe. The university encourages innovation and ideas, providing a platform for students with startup ideas. The student union team organizes timely events for refreshments. Weekly sports activities are arranged for students, including swimming, badminton, football, table tennis, beach volleyball, chess, and more. Overall, I believe it's an ideal university for those interested not only in studies but also in sports and fitness....Read More

The university is situated in ourskirts of the area and reaching there is a crucial task as public transport is only once in an hour. But you can have your private vehicle or cycle and get there easily because the whole area is small. The classes and the resources provided are very good and case studies help us get to know into subjects really good. The professors are really helpful and understanding and they help us in any way possible. All the students are extremely friendly and into activities and fun. Overall I would say the experience here is wonderful....Read More
