- Curriculum of the course was only important parameter for me.
- My masters degree and it's content was the best thing about University. I got what I expected - In depth knowledge and diverse range of modules. Plus, German universities don't have much tuition fees as well, so the overall expenditures were quite less.
Dislikes
- My University is in the State known as Baden-württemberg, Germany where tuition fees is NOT waived off for Non-EU students, whereas in all other states of Germany, tuition fees for STEM courses is zero for Non-EU students as well.
The experience was overall very positive. Social life in European countries in general isn't alike as in India. Also as I started my masters during COVID period, so it definitely affected my mental state. But from a perspective of a student, my masters has enabled in all aspects to learn the different techniques, skills.

- My previous work experience was in Mercedes and my orientation towards automotive industry and related subjects here at university motivated me to apply here.
- University of Stuttgart's location is the factor that makes it so much special. Also the university being a member of TU9, makes it the University to apply to. There are plenty of specializations to choose from be it in electrical, computer science or mechanical. There is a lot of scope for people interested in pure science field as well as there are research institutes like Max Planck and Fraunhofer. The application process is not that complicated and there are several English taught courses as well to choose from. Finding accommodation in Stuttgart can be tricky but not that difficult as in other towns of Germany. Stuttgart being the town of manufacturing and headquarters of Porsche and Mercedes, almost every student gets a working student job. So finding a job as well is not that difficult. The professors are very supportive and promote to do research and solve industry problems. And there are plenty of opportunities to do A PhD as well. The international centre at Stuttgart University takes special care of the international students and organizes several events for the new comers to get to know the university and the city. They have several partner universities which makes it a lot easier to do a semester abroad.

- There isn’t much to dislike about the university as it has almost all the necessary things a good university must have. But the major drawback of University of Stuttgart is the fees that one has to pay. It is 1666 Euros per semester which is a lot higher compared to other universities in Germany. But this is the issue with the universities in the State Baden Württemberg. All universities in this state charge similar amount to international students. Though the fee for Europeans is very low (roughly 200 Euros). So there is this disparity between local students and International students. Another specific problem one can face is with the Visa. Though not everyone faces this issue, but it’s a struggle for some to get their Visa renewed. Even the working professionals face this problem. It has been a problem since couple of years but there seems to be a solution that will be implemented this winter’23. The living costs are a little higher than the other regions but that can be ignored. For some of the modules, its observed that they are a little outdated. But I have personally not faced such issues with the modules that I have opted for.
Now I have completed 1 year at the university. My experience has been very good so far. Be it with the professors, infrastructure, academics, exams etc. I am a social person and have now found a lot of friends at university with whom I organize a lot of events as well. They offer language training courses as well which is really beneficial.

- The course I required were limited to very few universities and hence I applied to very less universities. And as soon I received admit to this university, I fixed this as this comes under TU9 universities. Also, it is a big city with large opportunities.
It is really good. Initially, I was not accustomed to the exam pattern but eventually I got used to it. The education is very practical with the grip of basic concepts. I still feel I am not using the facilities to the limit I should be using it but I am trying my level best. Finally, I am trying my best to make this learning process not same as my B.tech as it was only about passing the exams. Here, I want to look towards gaining proper skills.

- I worked in automotive industry and Stuttgart has a lot of automotive companies. Also the course also helped me to get insight about other technologies and areas of Deep Learning, Distributed Systems etc.
I remember first time when I stepped in Stuttgart, it was in December 2020 and the cous and city was pretty grey. Stuttgart is one of the not so fun states in Germany. Also due to corona, life seemed dull even around the Christmas. But when I approached the university area, that's when I felt joy. Transition to the online studies was smooth but definitely missed the whole university life experience. Comes summer 2021, and everything feels better, even though course was still online, but things started opening up. The university also offers four free student counselling sessions with a Psychologist and I opted for it as I was not satisfied with my academic performance and transition from one country to other was not easy. The sessions helped me a lot and I was able to start working as a part time job in a German startup company as well. After that I worked at many research facilities around my campus like Arena2036 and Fraunhofer IPA and company like Bosch as a Werkstudent. Everything does not go according to what you have planned as applying to the faculty department for research project and master thesis is time consuming process. But if you have done working student (Werkstudent) jobs and full time internships, you can easily manage your expenses and life life stress free. When Corona regulations finally waived off, the environment at campus was happening again! Many fun events, parties and festivals took place and made college life a fun fulfilling experience.
The University of Stuttgart is one of the best technical universities in Germany (a part of TU9). Stuttgart is one of the best in the automotive industry and for example because of upcoming developments in the field of urban transport and infrastructure; Stuttgart 2021, making it a hotspot for education and employment.
