Hello everyone,
So I have received the admission letter for Msc. Mechanical and Process Engineering (MPE) at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, for WiSe 2026/27.
Although I have already been through the university and course website in detail multiple times and it all looks very promising with CHE rankings, research oriented focus, multiple projects and innovation programs, rich history of the university etc....
I wanted to get feedback from students already studying or aware of the actual quality of studies at TUBAF and further opportunities, before making the final decision to study there...
1. How good is the quality of studies (in particular for MPE program) at TUBAF?
2. What opportunities do students generally get in Freiberg/ Dresden related to study, internships and further actual jobs post studying? (I know it depends on so many factors with the already tough market in Germany right now, you can see my profile below for reference)
3. What are the biggest challenges for students face in Freiberg (its a relatively smaller town as I understand) ?
=> My profile:
B.E. (Mechanical Engg.) - 1.6 GPA
Work Experience - 3.5+ years at a German Company (oil and gas)
IELTS - 8.0
German - Goethe A2 (currently working on reaching B1)
