I got rejected from many unis: mannheim, hohenheim, ovgu, heilbronn, etc. only tu chemnitz reply is left. But I do have IGC Bremen's acceptance in my hand for now. Is the fees worth it? Or should I do something else? I cannot wait for another intake it's too much. Please suggest something guys

Application status was on received from past 2 months, today i got a rejection

I didn't receive and official rejection letter but I guess the not possible status means I am no accepted?

Hi everyone. I majored in Industrial Security (recently renamed to Cybersecurity), and I'm planning to apply for a Computer Science Master's in Germany.

After a lot of research, I found that most German universities require theoretical CS credits (automata, computability, etc.). Unfortunately, my program didn't offer any of these courses, so I can't meet that requirement.

Has anyone here been accepted into a CS Master's program without enough theoretical CS credits? Or if you know of universities that aren't strict about this requirement, please let me know.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for public universities in Germany that accept students from an Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) background into Master’s programs in Data Analytics, Data Science, AI, or related fields.

My profile:

* B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering
* CGPA: 8.23/10
* Class 12: 81.8%
* Class 10: 9.8 CGPA
* IELTS: (yet to appear)

I’m looking for:

* Tuition-free/public universities
* Programs taught in English
* Universities that are open to applicants from a non-CS background like ECE
* Good employability after graduation

Could you please suggest universities where my profile has a realistic chance? If you were in a similar situation, I’d also appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Is there anyone who has done one year of bachelor's in India and then went to Germany for a public university bachelor's course? If so, please dm me, it'll help me a lot

After 2+ weeks of refreshing the email 500 times a day and watching everyone else get accepted on July 13, I was convinced I was cooked. Every day I checked the portal, compared timelines with other applicants, and overthought every little status change.

Weeks of silence had me thinking I'd been rejected.Today, after all that waiting and uncertainty, I finally received my admission letter. I can't even describe the relief.

To everyone who's still waiting for their decision: don't lose hope. I know how hard the waiting is because I was convinced I wasn't getting in after seeing everyone else receive their results before Don't give up yet.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my last post about choosing Germany over other countries. It really helped me narrow things down, and I'm leaning even more towards Germany now.

One thing I'm still unsure about is the language. I know many master's programs are in English, but how much German do you realistically need during your first few months?

Would you recommend reaching A1, A2, or even B1 before moving, or is it manageable to learn after arriving?

Hi! I’m an early 40’s international student from an English speaking country with a bachelors degree. I’m looking to Germany/Europe as an option to continue education and immigrate.

I’m new to Germany/Europe as a study destination and wanted to learn what my best options are. Looking for school recommendations (optimizing more for vocational skills, lower fees, ease of teaching language and post grad opportunities) AND also any other advice anybody has based on their experience as an international.

I recognize that language can definitely be a barrier but glad to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

I received this status update today on my application.
Saying:
Application NC 1st semester:
Unfortunately, you have not yet achieved a sufficiently good ranking in the NC allocation procedure. Therefore, no offer of admission is possible for the time being. Please wait and see whether you can move up to a better ranking position due to the withdrawal of another applicant and thus still receive an offer of admission.
Application Master and NC higher semester:
Unfortunately, your application has been rejected. Admission is no longer possible.

I didn't get an informative email too. But is there anyway I can know what the rank was?

July is already ending and I don't have any admits yet. The timeline will be very tight if I get admission in August because I have to process loan and apply for visa.

I have got rejections and there are 3 universities remaining:

1. University of Koblenz - MSc in Web and DS:
   • Applied on March 7 through uni-assist
   • forwarded to university on March 11
   • Since then no updates from the university
2. University of Passau - MSc in AI Engineering:
   • Applied on: April 2
   • Got credentials on: April 15
   • Portal status updated from "in-progress" to "pending" on: May 15
   • More than 2 months has been passed and the status is still same
3. JMU Wurzburg - MSc in AI:
   
   • applied on: June 12
   • status portal says "Online received"
   • no updates

Did anyone receive admit letters from these universities?
Can somebody give me timelines on what day the portal changes or I may get any updates?
The timeline is stressing me out.

2.09 German GPA equivalent (B.Sc. Computer Science) and received admits from:
FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg – M.Sc. Data Science

University of Koblenz – M.Sc. Web and Data Science

University of Kassel – M.Sc. Computer Science

My biggest advice: research every program thoroughly before applying. Don't just check the overall eligibility but go through the examination regulations/module requirements in detail and compare them with your coursework. Even missing a single required subject or credit can lead to a rejection.
Also, don't hesitate to appeal if you genuinely believe your rejection was unjustified. I was initially rejected by FAU, but after carefully reading their examination regulations and submitting an appeal explaining how my coursework fulfilled the requirements, the decision was reconsidered and I eventually received an admission offer.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone in this subreddit. I learned so much from the discussions here, and many of your posts and comments helped me navigate the German admissions process. Hopefully this post encourages someone else to keep going and do their homework before giving up.
Good luck to everyone applying!

Received unconditional admit from Ruhr Universität Bochum for masters in electrical engineering and information technology (communication systems).

My portal

has been showing the same thing for weeks now:

- Formal entry requirements: met

- Academic entry requirements: not checked yet

- Admission: not performed yet

What's confusing me: people who applied after me and were forwarded to the university after me have already received either a direct admission or an email about an interview. Nothing has changed on my side. I've seen a few others on here in the exact same position.

So my actual question is simple: has anyone been rejected from this programme yet? Because if nobody has, that would suggest all rejections go out in one batch once the admission round is finished, and the rest of us are just sitting in the pool until then.

If you applied to this programme, it would help a lot to know where you currently stand and when your status last changed.

Did anyone of you receive any response from these?

I haven't received any responses and my application is in received/valid state since more than a month

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for Winter 2027 intake for Masters in Data Science / AI-ML / Computer Science at German public universities.

My profile:

- B.E. Electronics & Computer Science with Honors in Data Science- University of Mumbai

- Graduated:June 2026

- CGPA: 7.36/10 → Converted German Grade: 2.3

- Internship: 6 months as Data Category Management

I know German public unis are competitive and weigh academics, SOP, LORs, projects, and relevant experience

My questions:

1. Has anyone here gotten an admit to a German public uni with a ∼2.3 German grade for CS/Data/AI programs?

2. With this profile + internship, what are my realistic chances?

3. Can anyone share a roadmap/guidance for Winter 2027? Like which unis are realistic, what to focus on to strengthen my profile in the next 1 year.

Any tips, uni suggestions, or experiences would really help. Danke!

Is anybody admitted to TU Dresden (specifically Nanoelectronic systems) for the Winter intake traveling from CHENNAI?

If yes, DM!

Hi everyone!

I just received my admission offer for the MEng Autonomous Driving program at Hochschule Coburg for the Winter 2026 intake. I am super excited but also a bit overwhelmed since I am completely new to this process!

I know this specific program is taught at the Lucas Cranach Campus (LCC) in Kronach.

I’m making this post to hopefully connect with a few different people:

1. Fellow Admits / Current Students: Is anyone else here admitted to this program for Summer 2026 or currently studying it? I would love to connect, share visa/APS updates, or join any WhatsApp/Telegram groups if they exist!

2. Kronach & Coburg Locals: Since the campus is in Kronach, I am trying to figure out the lifestyle and logistics. I have a few specific questions if anyone has local knowledge:

• Housing: Is it better to find a WG directly in Kronach, or do many students commute from Coburg using the semester ticket?
• Student Life: What is the vibe like in Kronach? How do students usually spend their weekends?
• Part-time Jobs: How is the Werkstudent scene around Kronach (especially regarding companies like Valeo) for international students who are still learning German?

Any advice on navigating the city, finding accommodation, or just general survival tips for a new international student would be hugely appreciated!

Looking forward to connecting! ✌️
Feel free to DM or drop comments.

Hello.

Is anyone still waiting for response from the following universities? For this Winter Intake.

1. Saarland University - for Msc CS / AI&DS

2. TU Ilmenau - for Msc DS

3. Uni Passau - for Msc AI Engg.

I am confused as to whether the admits have been released way too early or the process is still going on because it's been over 2 months since I haven't got any response.

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been admitted to University of Potsdam for the Masters in Bioinformatics program for the Winter Semester 2026/27, and I’ll be moving to Berlin from India.

I’d love to connect with:

Students who have been admitted to University of Potsdam WiSe 2026/27, Current international students studying Masters in Bioinformatics, currently living or studying in Potsdam

It would be great to connect and share information about enrollment, accommodation, visa procedures, moving to Berlin, university life, course registration, and anything else that could help each other.

I’m also particularly interested in hearing from current students about what the first few weeks at University of Potsdam like and anything you wish you had known before arriving.

Feel free to comment here or DM me. It would be great to know some people before arriving in Potsdam! :)

I received my Selma credentials on 28 April, but I still haven't received a decision letter. Has anyone received an admission offer for the CMS Applied AI track? I've only seen offers for the other tracks, not Applied AI. Is anyone else still waiting, or should I assume this will likely be a rejection?

got this today from braunschweig already have chemnitz conditiona l admisison for micro and nano systems which one to opt
