- I chose this program because of its low tuition cost and high research output in a unique combination of linguistics and Computer Science, not found in many other universities around the world. It should be noted that, although Natural Language Processing is one aspect of the program, there are other aspects likely Psycholinguistics, Language Acquisition etc which you also get to learn about through this program. Such a unique offering of courses is what drew me to this program. null
- Many Research Opportunities, Fantastic Faculty, Extremely International cohort, Many Social Events, Good location and so a lot of places to travel to during breaks. null
Dislikes:
- I don't really dislike anything about the College, as I aware of what I was getting into. Something that people should be wary about is that, knowing German in Germany is extremely important. Although the program is international, a lot of the administrative stuff at the beginning of your program needs to be completed in German. Therefore knowledge of the language would be a massive bonus to anyone joining. null
Course Curriculum
The Course curriculum is intensive and expects a lot from the students. Students are expected to read research papers regularly and also perform projects and research of their own. The program solely focuses on research, and one would be better off going somewhere else if industrial exposure is a priority for them.
Fees
Approximately 300 Euros per semester.

- My university is public university, meaning there is no tuition fees (just semester fees). The program itself is very interesting and my university is the most popular amongst all the European countries for this program. It gives more emphasis on research and aligns well with my goals. null
- I liked the program, the department, the faculty, the options available for research and most importantly the diverse culture because of the international students. null
- I have got the chance to be admitted into one of the competitive programs and also the chance to meet people across various parts of the world. Talented and motivated faculty has given me great exposure to the career opportunities available and also at the same time, captured my attention towards the systematic research. null
Dislikes:
- Saarbruecken is a medium-sized city and this makes it hard to get the jobs easily or even get the industrial exposure so easily. That is the only problem with the university. The rest of the aspects are totally fine by me. null
Course Curriculum
My course revolves around the aspects of linguistics and extends it to topics like ChatGPT, text-to-speech, speech-to-text and also about the cognitive processing of languages in human brain. The faculty is well versed with these topics and are also well-known in the academia. The course is well structured and there is ample opportunities to explore in this field.
Fees
There is no tuition fees but semester fees is 318 Euros/Semester. The semester fees include the charges for Student services, personal theft protection, travel charges (free public transport across the state of Saarland).
Likes:
- The German infrastructure for research in one of the best, and the lab I went for my postdoc is doing really well interms of research with many impactful publications in flagship journals. null
- Infrastructure, facilities, ease of doing work, flexibility in working hours, my friends and colleagues, research supervisor and many more. In general I am acknowledge my Institute for every thing it gave me. null
Dislikes:
- Weather sometimes, another time excessive work, may be sometimes foods, overall there are very few things to complain about and I am more than happy during my stay in its camous. null
Course Curriculum
I can not comment much on this, as I have already done with my PhD and one postdoc. When I was a masters student, the course syllabus was pretty vast which helped me to clear all the national level competitive exams and later helped me to earn a good PhD degree.
Fees
For PhD and postdoc I did not pay anything.
