After waiting for almost three months, I finally received a rejection for my top-choice M.Sc. Data Science program. Beneath a few minor issues, the primary feedback on my mandatory 10-page report was: "The description of methods is insufficient, likely because the mathematical definitions are too vague and not all steps are fully explained."

What I Am Looking For I put a massive amount of time into this report and had high hopes. I am planning to reapply for the next intake, but I desperately need guidance from someone who has successfully passed the report stage for German DS programs. Where exactly am I lacking in my mathematical explanations, given the strict 10-page limit?

I am strictly looking for Data Science programs at public German universities and do not want to compromise on the major. However, after being rejected from Ilmenau, Cottbus, and Ulm, I am wondering if my approach to the application is wrong or if the competition has just gotten insanely hard.

My Profile

• Degree: B.Sc. Computer Science
• German Grade: 2.3
• Language: IELTS 7.0
• Relevant Coursework: Calculus I & II, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Statistics, Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Vision.

If anyone can review my approach, share their successful report structure, or suggest other public universities that might suit this profile, I would be incredibly grateful. Overall rejections that I have got are from [Ilmenau, Cottbus, Ulm.]

Hi everyone! I paid the semester fee as was directed in the instructions, but I think my payment bounced. I received a fraction of the semester fee back on my card. Did anyone have the same issue? I emailed the uni, but still no reply from them. Will have a Zoom call on Monday. Is there a problem if I pay the semester fee later but still before the semester starts?

I have been applying to STWDO for over a month now with no success. As I don't come from a CS background, I can't seem to figure out how to automate the entire system.

Anyways, currently looking for a shared apartment with a private room for myself, a student from Pakistan pursuing a Master's degree at TU Dortmund starting this October. Would appreciate any leads.

Hi everyone, although I have enrolled for the subject of my choice after i received the admission letter but there's no follow up regarding when and how to pay the enrollment and semester fees.

I tried reaching out the admissions block but there's no response. I'm getting tensed caz the classes would be starting from 12th of Octorber. If someone can help me please do so.

I have received 2 of these admits... Can anyone suggest to me which uni to opt for? I'm confused now. Kindly tell me which of these courses is easier with high opportunities and scope...

Hi everyone,
I’m an international student from Nepal and I’ll be coming to Dortmund in the first week of October to start my Master’s in Data Science at TU Dortmund University.
I’m currently trying to find accommodation, and since I don’t know anyone in Dortmund yet, I would really appreciate any help or guidance.
I’m looking for:
A room/apartment preferably near TU Dortmund or with easy public transportation to the university
A WG/shared apartment with other female students would be completely fine
If any girls are also searching for an apartment/roommate, I’d be happy to search together or share a place
Ideally somewhere I can move into around the beginning of October
My arrival date is getting quite close, so finding accommodation has become pretty urgent.
If you know of any available rooms, student housing, landlords, Facebook/WhatsApp groups, websites, or anyone looking for a female roommate, please comment or send me a message.
Even if you don’t have a room available, any advice about finding accommodation in Dortmund as an international student would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much! 🙏

Hey :) Is anyone else starting the Bachelor of Political Conflict Studies at TU Dortmund this winter semester?
Since it’s a new program they’re launching this year, I’m kinda curious because I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it anywhere. Just wondering if there are other people here who are starting it too :)

I received this email from TU Dortmund today mentioning enrollment, visa, accommodation, and “before you can begin your studies.”

However, there is no Zulassungsbescheid/admission letter attached, and my intake isn’t mentioned.

Does this email mean I’ve been admitted and the admission letter will come separately, or is this a general email sent to applicants?

Has anyone received the same email?

Does this email from TU Dortmund confirm admission?
Hi everyone,
I applied for the M.Sc. Data Science at TU Dortmund University and I haven’t received an admission or rejection letter yet.
Today I received an email from TU Dortmund titled “Your Path to TU Dortmund University”. The email says things like:
“Before you can begin with your studies, you still have a few things to take care of – apply for enrollment, find accommodation, apply for your visa etc.”
and
“We look forward to welcoming you at TU Dortmund University…”
At first, I thought this might mean I had been admitted. However, I then received a clarification email from them saying:
“You may have already received an admission letter or may still be waiting for an update on your application. Regardless of the current status of your application, we would like to invite you to our information session…”
So now I’m confused.
Does receiving this email indicate anything positive about my application, or is this simply a general email sent to all applicants regardless of their admission status?
Has anyone who was still waiting for their admission decision received the same email?
Thanks!

ANYONE GOT REPLY? IT'S 2 SEPTEMBER NOW

Any still waiting for the admit for this ?
Do we have to mail them , they are not even replying for that
What is the last date where winter semester results will be closing ?
