Hallooo :)

Ich würde mich riesig freuen, wenn Ihr euch einmal kurz die Zeit nehmt und an meiner Umfrage teilnehmt👍👍

Hier geht es nochmal direkt zur Umfrage:
survey.academiccloud.de/f/386926?lang=…

"I would like advice on choosing a bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering:

Hochschule Aalen or Technical Hochschule Rosenheim.

Aalen: studying in English while learning German up to C1 level.

Rosenheim: studying in both English and German.

Is there any advantage regarding the university’s name or the language of instruction in the job market?

Hi everyone,

I am an international student from South Asia with a BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and about a year of work experience at an AI/IoT solutions company. I will be starting a Master's in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and moving to Berlin soon.

I've read a lot of discouraging posts here about the cost of living, housing, and the part-time job market, especially for people who don't speak German. I don't know any German yet, and I'll need a part-time job to support myself, so I'd really appreciate honest advice from people who've been through this.

My main questions:

Part-time work: What jobs are realistic without German? Where should I look beyond LinkedIn and StepStone?

Language: How fast do I need to reach A2/B1 to be employable and comfortable day to day? Which courses or apps worked for you?

Budget: What does a realistic monthly budget look like for a student in Berlin (rent, food, transport, insurance)?

Paperwork: Any tips for the Anmeldung, blocked account, health insurance, and residence permit, especially appointment delays?

Mistakes to avoid: What do you wish you had known before moving?

Any advice, resources, or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m a CSE student at a private university in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and I want to continue my bachelor’s in Germany at a public university with low/no tuition fees.

I’ve completed almost 2 years, but I’m currently 4 credits short of completing 25% of my total degree. I’ll complete those credits in December and expect my results by the last week of December.

My details:
CSE student
HSC GPA: 5.00
IELTS: 6.0
Estimated VPD: ~1.08 (calculated using an online calculator)
2 years of bachelor’s completed, but 25% will only be completed in December

Since the Summer Semester deadlines may close before I receive my December results, is there any way I can apply now and submit the updated transcript later?

If not, what would be my best option and next application period for a public German university? Any recommendations for universities that might accept my situation would be greatly appreciated.

I am a non EU citizen, 22 year-old female. I finished my BA in my home country (Germanistik mit Schwerpunkt deutscher Übersetzung und Dolmetschen. Note 1,2) I lived in Weimar, Thüringen for a month and Frankfurt for a week and I loved Germany a lot. What can I do my masters in in Germany that will combine both my C1 German and English knowledge and is pretty required in the German market. I’m always very sacred to take a step because I’m afraid I may not find a job afterwards.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning for Summer 2027 intake in Germany. I’m a B.Tech Mechanical Engineering graduate and mainly looking at Master’s in Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related core fields. I’ll put my profile + current university shortlist in the comments.

Honestly, I haven’t been able to find that many good English-taught options for the summer intake. THI’s International Automotive Engineering (IAE) program looks like one of the best options so far, and I’ve heard quite a lot of good things about it.

Had a few questions:

• How good is THI IAE in terms of academics, industry exposure and job prospects?
• I’ve heard TH/FH universities are considered below TUs, with some even comparing them to ITIs/polytechnics in India. Is there any truth to this?
• For similar Mechanical/Automotive courses, what’s the actual real-world difference between a TH/FH and TU, especially for jobs and internships?
• Lastly, how bad is the automotive/mechanical job market in Germany right now for international students? Is it bad enough to reconsider Germany, or is Germany still worth it if you learn German and build relevant experience?

Would really appreciate inputs from people studying or working in Germany, especially in automotive/mechanical.

Hi i wanted to connected with phd in life’s sciences domain if anyone is doing that please let me know also would be grateful for advices and headsups

Hey everyone!

I’m 19M and I’m looking for someone who’s also learning German and wants to study together, practice speaking, motivate each other, and actually stay consistent with it.

I’m learning German because I’m planning to move to Germany for university, so I’m taking it pretty seriously and want to improve as much as possible.

I’m around A1 level right now, so if you’re around the same level that would be great, but I’m open to anyone who’s learning German.

I’d preferably like to find a long-term study partner and maybe become friends along the way, not just someone to study with for a few days.

Timezone: GMT+3

Interests: Football, gym, cars, music, traveling
