Likes:
- I wanted to study biophysics. This was the only university which offered the course in Germany. Germany is zero tuition fee. And spoke to some seniors. Got an excellent review from them. null
- Research facilities and the faculty. The faculty is world renowned and their connections help in getting further opportunities. The invited lectures are really insightful. State-of-the art equipment. null
Dislikes:
- Only few English taught courses. Although you can survive comfortably with only English. Somehow German is required to integrate with the local population. Feels like you are in this small comfortable university bubble. Need German to get out of it. null
Course Curriculum
The curriculum is designed very well for someone who wants to pursue research (PhD) as next step in the career. You work in multiple labs to get exposure and finally choose your topic of interest for master thesis. You are also free to take a semester break and go to industry and gain some experience. The most amazing this is that you dont have to finish in 2 years. You can take some time to explore and be confident in whatever you want to do in life.
Fees
No tuition fees. But you pay around 300 euros per semester as student contribution to the transport facility (you can get free ticket for transportation in the entire state) and for student union, etc. this amount is minimal for what we receive. (in my opnion)
Likes:
- One of the best in Germany for Electronics along with ample job opportunities. No tuition fee. null
- The teachers and the course as a whole. The opportunities to interact with different companies during the career fairs. The exhibitions related to the current research being done. null
Dislikes:
- The course can be somewhat difficult at times as there are a lot of things to manage at once, i.e., studying, working and doing other chores. You need to adjust to the weather and focus on your health. null
Course Curriculum
Very relevant syllabus. Studies are more research focused.
Fees
Their is no tuition fee. You do need to pay a semester fee which includes public transportation costs. It is approximately 300 euros per semester.
Likes:
- TU Dresden is a hub for Nanotechnology which is my field of interest. Hence I chose this university. null
- I am a student at TU Dresden pursuing Nanoelectronic Systems MSc. I am currently in my third semester and the experience so far has been challenging and a very happy one also. The standards of the labs and practical training here are high and they have opened my eyes to a lot of exciting technologies and tools in Material Science and Semiconductors. null
- Dresden is considered to be the hub for Nanotechnology in Germany and frankly I cannot think of a better place to be in if one is interested in Semiconductor Technology, Manufacturing and Material Science. It is also an excellent center for Biology, Bioengineering and Regenerative medicine. There are lots of opportunities for students here in all the fields mentioned above. null
- Apart from academics, this is also a good place culturally as one can meet people from different parts of the world who are either studying full time or part time here. One can broaden his/her perspective on the world through interaction with these students and learn new things. The university also sponsors internships that students can pursue abroad. null
- Overall I recommend TU Dresden for anyone interested in the following fields: Semiconductor Technology, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Material Science, VLSI, Automation, Software development, Bioengineering, Biology, Regenerative Medicine and Physics. null
- One advice from my end- Please do a course on German( atleast at the A1 level) before coming. If you don't learn before coming, there is no problem. You can learn here also. But I would recommend that students atleast learn some basics of the language before coming here. null
Dislikes:
- There is not enough emphasis on the fields of analog design and RF here. Also my course contains some courses that are not really necessary. There is work going on from the student council side to make the course more streamlined for Nanoelectronics so hopefully this will change soon. null
Course Curriculum
It is a good syllabus and we do get knowledge and training to make us ready for the industry.
Fees
There is no tuition fees for our course in the university. We have only semester fees, which cover the cost of the transport ticket and the student union fee.
Likes:
- TU Dresden is one of the best universities to do a master's program in microelectronics/ nanoelectronics (VLSI) in Germany. The structure of the program is updated regularly based on industry standards. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in this domain by working part-time under the professors who does intense research in their specific fields. The university is located at Silicon Saxony, a technology hub for semiconductor, and has excellent ties with the corporate industry. null
- My university is one of the established technical universities in Germany. The university is located at an ideal location, Saxony where it is the technological hub of semiconductor industry (Silicon Saxony) in Germany. The university is well-known for the number of research papers it publishes every year. null
Dislikes:
- There isn't anything that I dislike about my university. The professors who take lectures are well experienced in their domain and has extensive research topics under them. The university offers multiple master programs in English and heartily welcomes international students. null
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum is well structured and is updated on a regular basis (every semester) as per industry requirements. Students are free to choose modules based on their field of interest like design, technology or application in this course. The course offers access to state-of-the-art technology labs related to semiconductor synthesis. The modules provide hands-on experience through regular tutorials, projects etc. Often, students with exceptional grades in a module are invited to work in the research projects under the specific professor.
Fees
There is no tuition fee at the university. Every semester, one has to pay about 300 euros for covering the expenses of transportation (i.e. the traveling expenses within the city are covered for a semester with some exceptions).
Likes:
- TU Dresden is considered one of the best institute I the world for Polymer and materials research. There is an institute affiliated under TU Dresden called Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research, which is one of the finest Polymer Research Centres in the world. I really wanted myself to get exposed to that environment. null
- The level of international collaboration and culture with world class research facilities to every special filed of my interest. Easily accessible technologies and most helpful people around. Dresden, the University City, is the most beautiful place I have lived in my life. Both academically and culturally, the Technical University of Dresden was excellent. null
Dislikes:
- I haven't come across anything that i dislike. And i believe in the future also it wouldn't be there. The University is trying in every single way to indulge students in diversified activities and make the environment international. null
Course Curriculum
The majority component of my course was research only. I had many industrial visits and visits to other research institutes to learn the application level of the material I was developing the lab and also to get exposed to the world class technological developments in polymer science.
Fees
Tuition fee per semester was €291. In this amount students will get a semester ticket with which the students can freely use the public transport including buses, trains, and trams. Even students will get access to rental cycles for free using the semester ticket. Also students can get discounted meals from the University canteen.
Likes:
- Esteemed Faculty with similar background to my research interest , research infrastructure, location of university. null
- Research environment was very good. Supervisors, colleagues and all the people are around are very supportive. You get to know individuals from various countries and also experience new cultures. Vibrant community of researchers with proper infrastructure. null
Dislikes:
- Nothing much was there to dislike. You may miss home sometimes, native people may sometimes seem cold and unwelcoming and cold weather can be a little testing but it's being very critical. It's a top class university with good faculty and Facilities. null
Course Curriculum
Course syllabus is up do date and also have practical applications. Hands on industry collaboration in final project.
Fees
Tuition fee was around 250€ per month.
Likes:
- My interest in the course was the top priority along with the all other opportunities. null
- I am really fascinated by the international environment at the university and the broad range of opportunities available including sports offers, language courses, career workshops, cultural dinners/potlucks and many others. null
Dislikes:
- The university schedules classes between 7:00AM and 8:00PM depending on the course, and during winter it gets really difficult to make it to the classes be it early morning or late evening as it is very cold and dark in the morning and the sun sets at about 4:00PM in the evening. null
Course Curriculum
The course is highly advanced with up to date content including research and industrial experience.
Fees
Approximately 300 Euros every semester (6 months)
Likes:
- The main reason would be that my Bachelor's was a great match for this program. Moreover, the research going on in the institute was very good with a lot of competent researchers. The program was in English and there were students from all over the world. null
- It has a great international community, with a lot of support towards research. There is a lot of associated institutes with specialised/interdisciplinary research going on that is accessible to the students. The living expenses are less compared to other German cities, but the amenities are great and accommodation is relatively easier to find if applied promptly. null
Dislikes:
- Masters courses that are in the Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (Molecular bioengineering, physics of life and regeneration biology) are in another part of the city and doesn't really possess the student atmosphere seen in the main campus. Moreover, recently there has been a great increase in number of students, causing some issues in organisation of lectures and all. null
Course Curriculum
It's updated every semester with most of the lectures following research going on instead of a particular text book or fixed study materials. We are able to directly participate in research work especially from third semester when we have a mini thesis to work on. There is a lot of effort going on to make the curriculum interdisciplinary as the research is also mostly done in collaboration between different research institutes.
Fees
There are no tuition fees but there is a semester contribution fee of 304.50 euros to be paid every semester. But that gives us access to student discount in canteens and free access to public transport in the state of Saxony.
Likes:
- It's a reputed university with under 200 ranking. More than reputation, the program is very contemporary with excellent professors mentoring the students. null
- 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. null
- 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. null
- There are various student clubs and activities, sport facilities, and quite a few canteens. The weather is not so extreme compared to nordic countries especially during winters. The summer is the best time here. null
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. null
Course Curriculum
The program is very contemporary with interdisciplinary studies to choose from.
Fees
There's no tuition fees, just a minimal semester registration fee equivalent to around INR 24,000.
Likes:
- I had the opportunities in Dresden related with semiconductor industry. null
- Its under top 9 university of Germany and helps to contribute to the science feild by writing papers or research work. There is lots of companies related to the semiconductor industry for example fab like XFAB , Global foundries, Infenion. So very good opportunity who are willing to work for the different cutting edge technologies. null
Dislikes:
- Nothing as such. But few minor things are some course which are very area specific are not having much job opportunities. So I think choosing the location as per the interests of the subjects matters a lot. null
Course Curriculum
They are up to date as per the industry standards. I think if anyone is interested in semiconductor field . I suggest the Dresden University would be best for Nanoelectronics and technology related core work opportunities.
Fees
I had zero tuition fee. I had examination fee of 300 euros per 6 month.
