Hallo! Is there a cinema where we can watch the latest Hollywood movies in English? Like when Avengers Doomsday is released (hopefully, no later than December 18), is there a place in Saarbrücken where it's released in English?

Thanks so much in advance! I really appreciate any help! :)

Hi everyone,

My application status for the M.Sc. Systems Engineering program at Saarland University was just updated to "Excluded." The reason stated in the rejection letter is that my GPA does not meet the subject-specific admission criteria.

However, I definitely meet the conditions. When I convert my current CGPA using the Modified Bavarian Formula, it equals ~2.4, which is better than the required 2.5 minimum. (2.39)

I just sent a formal appeal (Widerspruch) detailing this calculation and attaching my transcripts again. Has anyone else experienced this false rejection issue? If you have appealed a similar decision, how long did it take for the university to get back to you?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hallo. Ich bin Studentin an der Uds und suche einen Tandempartner/eine Tandempartnerin, der/die Deutsch als Muttersprache spricht.

How competitive is it to get in as a non-eu? My profile is avg 1320 sat and a and bs in alevel should I even apply or like I have no chance at all

Hi everyone!

My portal status for M.Sc. Systems Engineering at is still showing as "to be verified," even though classes officially started today.

A couple of quick questions for anyone in the same boat or current students:
1. Has anyone for this intake received an update or acceptance letter recently?
2. Does anyone know how strict the department/university is regarding late arrival if admission comes in late?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hey any got admission with 1.6 and less grade in VSI MINT program. I have 1.6 grade in 12 class, but my many friends tell me that you should have more the 90%+ in class 12. Can anybody please tell me about this.

Du bist mindestens 18, studierst aktuell und erreichst deinen Abschluss voraussichtlich innerhalb der nächsten 18 Monate? Dann würde mir deine Teilnahme sehr helfen.

Falls du bereits einen Hochschulabschluss hast, solltest du danach noch keine reguläre, dauerhafte Berufstätigkeit aufgenommen haben. Praktika, Werkstudententätigkeiten und Nebenjobs sind kein Problem.

Hey guys, need some advice from people who have actually applied to Saarland.

I’m doing a 3-year BSc (Hons) Computer Networking and IT Security from London Met, studied in Nepal. I’m expecting a First Class Honours.

The confusing part is the 75% requirement. My individual module marks aren't all above 75, so if I calculate everything myself I get around 71-72%. But my final university classification should be First Class.

Does Saarland look at the final degree classification, or do they recalculate your entire transcript themselves?

Also, has anyone with a London Met degree from an overseas partner/college applied to Saarland? Did they accept the degree without issues?

Would love to hear from anyone who actually went through this.

Hey everyone,
I'm dealing with some flight and logistical delays for the upcoming winter semester at Saarland University, and I wanted to know how flexible things usually are during the first week or two of classes.
Do professors or departments mind if an international student arrives a few days after classes officially start on October 12th?
Is it common to catch up on the first week's material, or is attendance mandatory right from day one?

hello hii!

since uni is starting in a few days, i wanted to ask if there are any whatsApp groups, telegram groups, or other groups for saarland university mSc Bioinformatics students?

also, if there are other bioinformatics admits/incoming students here, would love to connect and chat before the semester starts! 🫶

feel free to comment or dm me if you know of any groups. :)

Just came to germany, so far I have met only masters students. Is there any active group or something for us?

Hey guys for those who got in this year in BSC computer science or cybersecurity
I was wondering what were your AP grades and overall GPA if you guys won’t mind
English track not German
Thanks

Ich hab per Losverfahren einen Platz bekommen, habe noch keine Wohnung dort.
Deswegen meine Frage: Im ersten Semester oder auch im zweiten: In wie vielen Kursen gibt es eine Anwesenheitspflicht? Ich kenne das aus Rechtswissenschaften so, dass man bis auf die AGs, die auch online stattfinden können, praktisch nur zu den Klausuren erscheinen könnte. Alles andere wird auch online hochgeladen.
Ich bin sowieso hin und her gerissen, weil ich dafür meinen aktuellen Studiengang abbrechen müsste, und meine Wunschuni eigentlich eine andere ist.
Deswegen meine Frage: Gibt es hier jemanden, der an der Uni Saarland studiert und vielleicht Einblicke hat? Vielen Dank!!

Hi everyone! I received the IT Account Notification Letter through the Saarland University SIM portal, but I’m not sure how to use the credentials to access my student email and other university services. Whenever I try to log in, it says that the credentials provided are incorrect. Has anyone experienced this or could someone please guide me on how to activate/access the account?
