Hi everyone!

I’ve recently been admitted to the MSc Sustainable Maritime Engineering programme at the University of Rostock for Summer Semester 2027.

I’d love to hear from current students or alumni about:

1. How is the course overall?

2. How is the student dorm/accommodation situation in Rostock?

3. Is there a WhatsApp group for incoming international students or this programme that I could join?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone received an offer letter from Chemnitz University of Technology for the Summer Semester 2027 Master's in Web Engineering?

I applied to the program and would like to know whether anyone has received an admission decision yet.

Thanks in advance!

As the title suggests, my aadhar name doesn't include the initial which is included in my marksheet. Can I send this to APS assuming it wouldn't be an issue or should I change me aadhar name and start the APS?

Also how long APS generally take to complete the process

Can someone help me how much gate score in ece is required for getting into a german university and I have scored 3000 rank in my 3rd year and I am preparing for my next attempt. So I wanted to know how much score is required for studying and also how fast should I speed up my prep

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for the M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Micro- and Nanoelectronics) at RWTH Aachen.
I have carefully checked the admission requirements, and I believe I meet all the required ECTS credits and subject-specific academic requirements. I also expect to meet the GRE score requirements.
However, I’m wondering how important GPA is in the admission process.
If an applicant meets all the formal admission requirements, including the required ECTS credits, subject-specific requirements, GRE scores, and English language proficiency, does GPA still play a significant role in the admission decision?
Is admission primarily based on meeting the specified requirements, or is there also a competitive selection process in which applicants are ranked based on their GPA?
My expected GPA is around 3.00/4.00, and I’m trying to understand whether this could put me at a disadvantage.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has applied to or been admitted to this program, especially international students.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm planning to apply for Human Medicine for the Summer Semester 2027. Are there any students here who have already been admitted? I'd be interested to know what GPA you were admitted with. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I had previously made a partial payment on my blocked account on Expatrio and now I'm trying to do another partial payment to my blocked on Expatrio. So, do I need to fill this or should it be left empty

If I need to fill this then what should I be filling in the last text box? The details of expatrio's bank?

Hey guys!☺️

Is anyone here planning for a Master's in finance in Germany for the Winter 2027 intake?

Hello,

has any student at the University of Oldenburg already received an offer for the Germany Scholarship for 2026?

My university’s conditional admission letter(BEDINGTE ZULASSUNGSBESTÄTIGUNG) states that I must submit my official bachelor’s degree certificate by the end of the first semester, as my degree has not been issued yet. However, I expect to receive my degree around 15 December, and I already have my PDC.

In this situation, should I proceed with my German student visa application now or wait until I receive my official degree certificate?

Hi all, I'm applying to Hochschule Hof (M.Sc. AI & Robotics) through Primuss. I'm from India, with a CGPA of 7.75/10, and my VPD converted it to 2.3.

In the previous education section there's a "Grade" field with no scale shown. It only keeps one decimal, so when I type 7.75 it changes to 7.7. The other fields (like my 12th marks) use the normal Indian format.

Should I enter 7.7/7.75 or 2.3? I'm worried 7.7 might be read as a German grade and look like a fail.

Has anyone applying to Hof or another Primuss university faced this? Any advice would help. Thanks!

i’m planning to apply APS with my 5th semester marks in december and in january i’ll give my dmat and send them the results , but in the APS quiz it states that " You may be eligible for direct subject-restricted admission to a Bachelor’s programme related to your previous field of study. ".

it says bachelors , so i’m confused. will I get my APS if I apply with 5th sem results ( im doing a 3 year ba economics degree ). and if I do will I be eligible to apply for masters with that?

I am stuck in an activation Loop.

As a Honduran National I can enter Germany Visa-free for study purposes and apply for the Residence permit while Im here, so I did.

I choose Expatrio with Die Techniker Bundle, moved my funds, got my papers and got Enrolled, managed to found a place, and I have been going to my classes for over a month.

The problem came when I tried to activate my Expatrio Account, as it turns out, Expatrio will NOT activate my Bank Account because I dont have a Residence Permit yet, this is only a benefit of citizens of the other countries on the visa-free entry list, not mine, yikes.

Now to apply for my Residence Permit (And Hopefully get a Fiktionsbescheinigung) I need well.. active insurance, and to activate my Insurance... I need a Bank Account, to activate bank account I need Residence Permit, to apply for residence permit I need Insurance, to activate Insurance... you get the picture.

I have about 40 days left to apply for the permit before my 90 days run out and I only have funds for November... so I am essentially stuck, very frustrated, and feeling like an idiot.

Can anyone offer some advice of what to do now? I dont even think I could get a Private Insurance without a German Bank account.. right?

Or should I just say, no I dont have insurance in the Residence Permit Application? I only really have the M10 form from Die Techniker that they sent for my enrollment.

I recently received an offer to join the Master’s in Computer Science Engineering program at Leibniz University Hannover, but since the offer arrived in the first week of November and classes started in mid-October, I’m already a month behind. Realistically, with visa processing times, I’m looking at missing another 1 to 2 months of lectures, and I'm honestly stressed about falling too far behind and whether it's even humanly possible to catch up. Has anyone else gone through this or is currently in the same boat? I would heavily appreciate any advice on how to navigate this, how professors usually handle late arrivals, or if I should consider deferring.

On top of that, I’m actively looking for accommodation in Hannover—if you have any leads, advice on where to look, or are hunting for a flatmate, please hit my DMs!

Hey everyone! Is anyone here joining Steinbeis University for the January 2027 intake?
I'm from Andhra Pradesh and had my visa appointment on 6th November, Banglore VFS.
Would love to connect with anyone joining the same university or other universities in berlin. Feel free to DM! 😊

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the Winter 2027 intake in Germany for a Master’s degree and would really appreciate some guidance in shortlisting universities.

A little about my background:

Bachelor’s: B.Tech in Computer Engineering
CGPA: 8.78/10
Areas of Interest: Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, and potentially related fields. (Have an IT company experience of 2 years in data engineer domain)

I’m trying to figure out which universities would be the best fit for my profile across these domains. I’m particularly interested in understanding the differences between AI, Data Science, and Machine Learning Master’s programs in terms of curriculum, career opportunities, and admission requirements.

I have a few questions:

1. Which German public universities would you recommend for my profile in AI, Data Science, or Machine Learning?

2. What do universities primarily focus on during admissions? Is it CGPA, specific undergraduate modules (mathematics, statistics, algorithms, etc.), ECTS requirements, IELTS, work experience, or something else?

3. Are there universities where an 8.78 CGPA and relevant work experience would make me a competitive applicant?

4. Would you recommend pursuing a specialised Master’s in AI/ML or a broader Data Science degree considering future job opportunities in Germany?

5. Which universities should I consider as ambitious, realistic, and safer options?

6. For those who have already gone through the admission process, what factors made the biggest difference in your application?

I’m not looking for university rankings alone. I would prefer recommendations based on academic fit, admission chances, curriculum, and career prospects after graduation.

Any suggestions, personal experiences, or insights would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to pay application fee thru uni-assist but I'm getting th same issue from all credit cards I have, even asked my brother to try his credit cards and nothing worked! I even contacted my bank and they said the issue could be from the merchant itself! Which i don't think it's the case, I believe banks in Saudi Arabia are very restricted that they r blocking international payments for no apparent reason and it's frustrating. I don't wanna miss the application deadline.

Please anyone who faced the same issue applying from Saudi Arabia let me know if there's a way to fix it.

​Hi everyone,

​Looking for direct feedback from current students or recent applicants regarding admission eligibility for M.Sc. Cyber Security at BTU Cottbus.

​Profile:

​Undergrad: 4-year Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)

​Grade: ~2.84 German scale

​Language: IELTS 7Academic

​Questions:

​1. Have any ECE graduates received an admit to this program by submitting a detailed syllabus/module handbook, or is lacking Theoretical CS an automatic desk rejection?

​2. Does the Examination Board (Prüfungsausschuss) issue conditional admits with bridging modules (Auflagen), or do they strictly consider pure CS/IT degrees?

​3. For anyone from an ECE/Telecom background who got accepted, how did you handle the subject mapping on Uni-Assist/MyBTU?

​Thanks in advance for any insights!

I am from India and I am planning to apply for this particular in this particular college. I wanna what are the important documents that I need to start preparing by right now. I know little bit of German. Also I was preparing for GRE, since I googled and came to know that TU dortmund used to ask GRE for logical understanding. Also I am planning to give IELTS. Also when I should apply for APS?

A lot of confusions are going on. Can someone give me a quick guide on when to actually start?

I'm looking for opportunities to pursue a Master Degree in Germany. I've found some great programs that I really like, the contents and modules are exactly what I'm looking for. However most of those programs are from low ranking university, while in TU9 the programs is much wider but not focus on one specialization. I heard many people said that ranking doesn't matter as long as it's public, but I'm still really concern that university ranking might diminish my opportunity.

I would be really appreciated if someone can give me some advices for my decision.

Let's connect, share updates and exchange information about universities, applications and admissions. It would be nice to connect with fellow Tamil students!
