What Students Say
Likes
- Research-orientated projects available.
- Possibility of a job as a working student under professors.
- If not able to find a suitable internship, you can work on projects affiliated with Unisiegen, which can give experience in a related field.
Dislikes
- Not a big city, so lack of possibilities for internships and jobs in the city.
- Not suitable for cycling due to terrain.
Course Curriculum
10
- The new syllabus is well-equipped with recent technologies. There is the possibility of research experience through the projects at the university itself, or one can apply for a voluntary internship.
- Classes depend on the courses and how many courses you want to attend for that particular semester. The average number was 60 for Mechatronics.
Admission Experience
- I was from a mechanical engineering background, so I was looking for a mechatronics course. There are not so many universities which are offering courses in robotics and mechatronics. The second main point was that Uni Siegen's mechatronics programme is way older and more established, so I chose this university with zero tuition fees.
- The required score for IELTS is above 6.0, and mine was IELTS 6.5. There is no need for GRE, SAT, or TOEFL to get admitted into the University of Siegen.

8
