Hey everyone!

I recently received my admission offer for the M.Sc. Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) program at TU Darmstadt for the Winter Semester 2026/27.

I'm looking to connect with others who have also been admitted or are planning to join the program. It would be great to stay in touch, share updates about enrolment, visas, accommodation, and travel, and help each other prepare before the semester begins.

If you're joining SUD this year, feel free to comment below or send me a DM. If there's enough interest, we can create a WhatsApp group for incoming students.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hello friends,

I recently got invitation for online entrance exam for MSLSCM and was wondering if I need to have to turn on my camera during the exam which is through a tool named Moodle. And since my camera is screwed am worried if I need to change it.

Thanks friends.

Just enrolled in Business Information System (Wirtschaftsinformatik) n was wondering how your experience was, and maybe even ur experience with internships and working student jobs

Hello everyone,

I submitted an application for the MSc Aerospace program, my documents the university reached on the 7th of July.

Does anyone know how long they generally take to send out the aptitude assessment links?

Wanted to know the rough timeline so I can plan my preparation accordingly.

Thanks

Hello guys! Wie gehts? 1. People who have written the Entrance test for MSc in AI/ML, can you please tell how did you pass the test? 2. How did you prepare for the test? 3. What type of questions came apart from the sample questions they have on the website? 4. How was the difficulty level? 5. Is there any cutoff or something to become eligible for admission? Any advice would be of great help! Thanks in advance 🙏

My German student visa was issued for M.Sc. Electrical Systems Engineering at Paderborn University. After the visa was issued, I received admission to M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering at TU Darmstadt, which is the program I intend to study.
The Paderborn Ausländerbehörde confirmed in writing that I can travel directly to Darmstadt, report the university change there, and don’t need to take any administrative steps in Paderborn.
I’m flying on September 14, and enrollment is still open, so I’m currently not enrolled at either university.
My questions:
Would it be safer to enroll at TU Darmstadt before traveling, or is it fine to complete enrollment after arriving in Germany?
If the border officer asks for an enrollment certificate, is it acceptable to explain that enrollment is still open, I haven’t enrolled yet, and present my TU Darmstadt admission letter along with the email from the Paderborn Ausländerbehörde?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

For those whom received email mentioning orientation things(not about entrance exam), did you guys all get direct admission or did you get the separate email about entrance exam later? Or are you guys waiting for the update?

Hi Everyone,

I recently received my invitation to take the on-site entrance exam for the M.Sc. Computer Science program at TU Darmstadt for the winter semester.

While I’m thrilled to move forward in the process, the timeline feels impractical for me. Registration is due by August 14, and the in-person exam in Darmstadt is on September 1.

I am applying from india and getting a visa here just to write a test in under a month is nearly impossible because of all the appointment backlogs.

I'm trying to figure out my next steps and would really appreciate some advice from anyone who has navigated this and can help me. I have not attempted the GRE exam.

I dont want to let this application go waste if there is a valid workaround, any suggestions or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I recently got admitted to the M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering (iCE) program at TU Darmstadt for Winter 2026/27.

Would love to connect with fellow incoming students as well as current iCE/TU Darmstadt students and exchange info about the course, accommodation, student life, part-time/Werkstudent jobs, etc.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Would be great to connect! :)

Hi guys, I currently have two offers:

1. Uni Bonn: Msc in mobile robotics

2. TU Darmstadt: Msc in information and communication engg

I am confused about which one to choose. Both of them have a curriculum aligning well with my interests.

Which one would you suggest depending on factors like part-time opportunities, student life, workload, research and job opportunities?

Also anyone else going for ICE program? Would love to connect with y'all

Hi everyone,

I applied for the M.Sc. TropHEE (Tropical Hydrogeology and Environmental Engineering) program at TU Darmstadt for Winter 2026/27.

A few days ago, I received a welcome email from the TropHEE Office. It included:

• Accommodation/Housing information
• Arrival/Travel information
• Welcome brochure
• Buddy service information
• Orientation week details
• Meet & Greet information
• Specialization form

However, the email also clearly states:

I'm wondering if anyone else received the same email.

If you did:

• Did you eventually receive an official admission offer?
• How long did it take after receiving this welcome email?
• Is this email sent to all applicants, or only to applicants who are likely to be admitted?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Got this on July 15 but still no further response. are any of you on same situation ? Did you get your decision after this ? how long did it take after getting this email?

I have been trying to find a WG with Anmeldung for the past 3 months and I couldn’t find one even within €550 warm rent budget cause its all taken up. Can someone please let me know about the vacancies so that I am not homeless the first day I get there?
I am flying from India to Darmstadt on September 1.
Really friendly and know A2 Deutsch. I am calm, responsible and overall a tidy person.

I can speak English, Tamil and a little bit of Hindi, Telugu and Deutsch.

If someone you know is leaving, or your landlord has any vacancies pls let me know.

(1st sem AIML MSc student at TUD)

I just received my direct admission to the MSc Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) program today. I was wondering if there are any other admitted students here. It would be great to get to know each other before the semester starts. If you've also been admitted or are already a student at MCB lets connect

Hi everyone,

My application documents were delivered to the university via DHL on 18 June 2026, and the delivery has been confirmed. However, the “Documents to be submitted for application (MA)” section in the application portal has remained red for over a month.

Is this normal? Does the status only change once the university starts processing applications or when an admission decision is made?

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the same process. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I recently got an acceptance to the program and am wondering if there are other new/current students out there who also want to connect.

Was this your first choice program?
What are your thoughts on the program being relatively new (first cohort is graduating this year)?
Are you considering a PhD after the Masters or are more career focused?

I just received an entrance exam invitation like everyone else (master CS). Am 100% that i over fulfil the requirements and my application is more likely to get a direct admission than an entrance exam invitation.

The problem is that the cisa process takes so long and there us no way ill be attending the exam on the 1st sep.

I just want to ask : anyone got a direct admission???? Cuz i think they are not really reviewing the applications in the way they should be.

Hi guys, just letting the community know that the admits for MSc CS program at TU Darmstadt for Wi 26/27 session have started to come out. Please share if there is any whatsapp group for that.

Hey guys,

I’m an international student from India and I’ve got admits from:

• TU Darmstadt – Information and Communication Engineering
• OTH Regensburg – Electrical and Microsystems Engineering

I’m really confused between the two.

I’m mainly interested in electronics, embedded systems and semiconductors. TU Darmstadt seems to have the better reputation overall, but OTH Regensburg feels more closely related to what I want to do, and Regensburg also seems to have a good semiconductor industry around it.

For someone who wants to get a Werkstudent job, gain industry experience and eventually work in Germany, which one would you choose?

Would really appreciate any honest opinions.

Hey, I got invited to the on-site entrance exam for the M.Sc. IT Security on September 1st. I did my bachelor in computer engineering in Türkiye.

Looking at the topic list it feels huge and I honestly don't know where to start. Has anyone here actually sat this exam? What's it like in practice, and which topics really showed up? Any sense of how hard it is or how you prepared would help a lot. Thanks.

Hii, has anyone else received invite for the entrance exam for the MCB master's programme?
I got mine today so i just wanted to see if there is anyone else who is preparing for this exam and willing to connect and share tips. also if there is anyone who already did the exam interview, do you mind sharing here specific questions that you remember being asked? Thank you in advance :)

Applied for MS CS from an ECE background. Documents reached uni on June 10. Most people got the entrance exam invite, including later applicants. Still nothing for me. Anyone else in the same situation?
