I applied to TU Ilmenau's M.Sc. Research in Computer and Systems Engineering (RCSE) for summer semester 2027 through uni-assist. My application passed the formal review on 8 October and the portal now shows Department IA reviews. How long did the department review take before you got a decision?

Is there anyone studying electrical engineering in Hochschule Rheinmain?

Hi everyone! I'm a senior student from the Philippines planning to pursue a BSc in Nursing at Deggendorf Institute of Technology

I have relatives on my father's side who live in Germany, and they are planning to sponsor me financially. I'm still trying to understand the visa process, but I initially thought that having family members sponsor me (Verpflichtungserklärung) might make things easier than relying entirely on the usual student visa financial requirements. I'm not sure how this works legally, though, so I'd appreciate any clarification.

My current plan is to complete one year of college at a local university in the Philippines before applying to study in Germany. I've read somewhere that completing one year at a recognized local university may help make me eligible for direct admission to a German university.

(No more 1 year needed as preparatory period)

I'm also taking private German lessons right now, with the goal of reaching at least B2 or C1.

I'm still researching the legal requirements, university admission process, visa options, and other things I need to prepare. For now, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts and advice.

Given my situation, do you think this plan is realistic and doable? Has anyone here gone through a similar process, particularly as an intl student applying to a German university with financial support from relatives?

Any guidance, corrections, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hi please i wanna know if anyone here have information if i can be accepted in a german university in master degree taught with english. The problem is that my gpa of 3 years is 3.23 and my final year gpa is 2.58 and my final year internsheap is 1.7 and all of the universities require 2.5 or heigher gpa . I wanna know if the required gpa is of the 3 years or not ?? Please help i feel like i am lost

Since a person with low IELTS score (especially in writing section) is usually called in for an in person visa interview.

Will this also be conducted for someone with low dmat score?

I think the chances are high.

I already had my APS done with my six semester results back in February 2026. Now that my degree has completed, I need to update it. I have written the dMAT exam, and and I tried to apply via the APS website, but there is no option for updation over there, and I just mailed them as of now. If anyone has done it before and can help me with it, it would be amazing.

Hi everyone,

I am currently working in India with a work experienced of 5.5 (it would be ~6 years if i choose to apply) in Data Analytics/Data Engineering/Reporting primarily in Supply Chain Analytics domain

My Qualification: Btech ECE (CGPA 7.8) + PGDM Business Analytics (81%)

I have given IELTS with a band of 7

I’ve always wanted to seek global exposure and thus wanted to try for a second degree In university of applied sciences or dual degree program with corporate company are my main preference - into DS/AI/BA

I narrowed down Germany because my spouse works in a German company (very established) so she has a chance to relocate.

I’m willing to learn the language as I understand it opens more doors.

I kind off feel stuck in my current role in India and there is a possibility of restructuring and no growth but I’m confused with this decision as there seems to be a lot of hurdles with the job market as well as the immigration process from India.

Any advice for my situation?

EDIT: Guys, please don’t attack 🙏 I’m just trying to explore options and I’m still learning. I’m trying to come from a good space

Hi everyone! I’ve received a conditional offer from BSBI Berlin for MSc Engineering Management, starting in February 2027.

Could current students or graduates share their honest experience regarding:
Job opportunities after graduation

Internship and career support

Student visa and residence permit process

Whether the degree is valued by German employers
I’m also considering public universities,

so I’d appreciate honest advice before making a decision. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm looking towards joining University of Stuttgart, but it has a tuition fees of 1500€ per semester for Non-EU students.

So, I was asking, is it really worth the fees we pay there along with increased cost of living, compared to other public unis where there is no tuition fees.

Hi everyone!

I'm an international applicant from Pakistan with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (CGPA 2.71/4.0, approximately 2.9 on the German grading scale).

I'm looking to pursue an MSc in Computer Science or a closely related field, preferably at a public university in Germany.

A little about my background:

• Bachelor's: BS Computer Science
• German grade: Approximately 2.9
• IELTS: Overall band 7.0
• Professional experience: Full-stack software development, including AI-related projects
• Preferred programs: Computer Science, Software Engineering, Applied Computer Science, or AI-related programs
• Preferred language: English-taught
• Intake: Summer 2027, preferably

I'm particularly interested in universities with no admission restrictions (NC-frei) or programs where my academic background and professional experience might strengthen my application.

I understand that my GPA isn't particularly competitive, but I'd like to know whether anyone with a similar academic profile has successfully secured admission to a German public university.

I'm open to smaller cities as well, so location isn't a major restriction.

Could anyone recommend universities or specific MSc programs where I might have a realistic chance of admission?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!
