- I chose TUM since it is one of the top 3 universities in Germany. I love the German language and culture. Also, it is a public university, which meant the tuition fee was quite low. I chose this particular program because it offers a vast number of courses to choose from. null
- I like the vast amount of opportunities the university presents students with. One can really grow as an individual in such an environment. It is student-friendly. The culture is open such that international students can feel at home. null
Dislikes:
- I did not like that one is left on their own when it comes to curriculum planning. It can get really overwhelming for international students and a bit more hand-holding in the first semester would go a long way. Also, the professors consider that you know everything about the academic system (exams, etc) there already, and do not give personal attention to international students. null
Course Curriculum
I found the course syllabus to be extremely vast and one can be spoilt for choices. Students have complete freedom to design their curriculum and even their exam schedule. The curriculum subjects were excellent for those who want to pursue industrial research in biotechnology. I found that there were fewer basic research subjects and more applied subjects. It was updated too, in that the professors would teach from their own areas of research, hence always providing up-to-date knowledge and research application of the topics. I was unfortunately unable to gain any industrial exposure or research experience since I was there during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fees
In the year 2020-21, my semester tuition fee was nil, and there was a semester contribution of around 145 euros. This included the Student Union costs and a semester ticket for free travel in public transport (buses, trams and trains) on weekends in the Munich travel network. However, non-EU (international) students enrolled in winter 2024-25 sessions and onwards will have a tuition fee of 2000 to 3000 euros per semester.

- Germany has always been a country that provides top quality education and the fact that there was no tuition fee was a bonus. TUM is one of the top universities in Germany with a good atmosphere not just for academic growth but also for various other extracurricular pursuits. The faculty and chairs of the particular course I wanted to pursue were very well established which made this a dream opportunity for me. null
- The university offers support to not only our academic pursuits but also to the holistic growth of the students. They understand the hardships of the students and provide various support systems, such as counselling, career advice, accommodation advice etc to help us out. As previously mentioned, there are numerous student activities and initiatives to choose from that help the student be part of a community, make connections and assist in their personal growth. null
Dislikes:
- There are no particular things I dislike about the university. But one thing I'm not used to is the examinations. For example, for most of the exams, we are not provided with the previous year's question papers to practice. This is not ideal, especially in a problematic subject where ample practice and understanding of the previous exam patterns are essential. There is also no separate question-and-answer paper, we are provided with questions printed with space left for answers. Some papers have space in the back for the correction but one of the exams I gave did not so rewriting the answer was not possible. The exams are also notorious for having really little time. null
Course Curriculum
The course is up to date in my opinion. There are many modules to choose from as per our wanted outcome so it is flexible. Some of the modules are seminars where we are encouraged to work on a project, sometimes in groups or sometimes individually which helps us sharpen our research, problem solving and analytic skills. Various other courses also offer industrial exposure.
Fees
Currently, there is no tuition fee. I only have to pay 85 euros per semester but from winter semester 2024, the tuition fee would be about 4000 to 6000 euros per semester.
Likes:
- Best university in Germany and it is located in Munich which is an industrial city thus plenty of internship opportunities. null
- The course structure and faculty. The course is very well organised and the classes are oriented in a way such that students can also do part time job without clashing with lecture hours. null
Dislikes:
- Exams are very tough here and there is no proper book where we can study from. The lectures are taught in the form of slides and one has to understand everything in order to pass the exams .
Course Curriculum
The course syllabus changes every year since the latest version is taught to the students. Course is very vast and covers most of the things that a student will need after the bachelors.
Fees
When I joined there was no tuition fees but since 2024 winter intake an additional fees of 4000 euros will be added
Likes:
- Quality of education, reduce fees and Job opportunity here, as well as student friendly environment. Also in the universe, you can do the course on your own time frame and esay to navigate .
- Research facilities and ongoing project, teaching staff and infrastructure and lot of stuff, the Vibe here is quite amazing for students and they can actually have good time here and learn a lot .
Dislikes:
- "Accomodation is very tough thing here and if you really are considering coming here, then I would advise you to research your things thoroughly . Also you need to be self dependent here and have to try and work it out yourself . " .
Course Curriculum
I believe it's quite an updated course, and we are studying all the relevant course which is needed for today's time zone . The academic research here done is pretty good and the university itself is the top universities in Germany.
Fees
85 euro per semester
Course Curriculum
It is very relevant, but Tit is also very general , does not touch any topic in deep but covers all the topics. There was no industrial exposure, but since it was tied up with NTU, we had the lab facilities and research opportunities are given to all students.
Fees
4000-5000 SGD per semester
Course Curriculum
The total number of credits required to graduate is 120 credits. However, I must say that education and especially exams in Germany are a bit different and a bit tough as compared to India. Students in the informatics department atleast take 1~2 extra semesters to complete their master's since getting 120 credits in 4 semesters is quite tough. The professors are of course world-class. Education is top-notch. Lots of assignments that enable practical learning. The course curriculum is designed in such a way that students get theoretical as well as practical (research-based or industrial based) experience. As for the Faculty Student Ratio, I am not entirely aware of it, but as far as the classes are concerned, the teachers and PhD students will answer any question you have. They organize special exercise classes where you can discuss assignments or your doubts. But getting hold of professors outside the lectures is something of a feat in itself since the Profs are very busy.
Fees
The program has tuition fees of around 150 euros per semester or 300 euros per year approx which is quite nominal. These are some perks of studying at a German Public University. The real challenge is the living expenses. Munich or Germany for that matter is expensive to live and if you do not get any scholarship then you would have to open a blocked account with 10,000 euros per year. This account is also required for student visa applications and Residence Permit applications in Germany. Most students take loans from banks in India but apart from that take part-time jobs from software developers to delivery boys (there is a minimum wage per hour concept in Germany) so the pay is quite good and lots of students manage their expenses (and leisure activities ;)) using that money.
Course Curriculum
The syllabus covered from basics to advanced to applications.
Fees
There is no tuition fees for this program.
Course Curriculum
Course curriculum is well updated and they're still trying to improve wherever they can. I think an elective specially for the social science research would have been better and maybe there'll be such an option in the coming years
Fees
There is no tuition fees. There's a semester contribution which is about 144 euros to be given before the next semester starts. This is for the student union and semester ticket.
Course Curriculum

Fees
144 Euro per sem
Course Curriculum
It is a very fast-paced course for enthusiasts in aerospace engineering and those who wish to establish a career in this field
