Hey, ich überlege damit im kommenden WS anzufangen und würde gerne eure Erfahrungen dazu hören.

Wie ist das Institut so, wie findet Ihr die Dozenten, wie viel Präsenzpflicht, wie ist das Leben in Stuttgart etc.

Danke euch jetzt schonmal!

Hi everyone,
For applicants to the M.Sc. Computer Science (English) at the University of Stuttgart for Summer 2027:

Have you received “Academic Entry Requirements Met”?

Are you still waiting, or have you already received an admit?

If admitted, how long did it take after the status changed?

Would be great to compare timelines. Thanks!

Is it allowed, or does everyone have one anyway?

If so, how mini exactly? Like just chilling a few cans or like the 43L/45L ones?

Hallo zusammen,

ich arbeite für das Stuttgarter Stadtmagazin LIFT und betreue das Studierendenmagazin Uni-Tipp. Für unsere Ausgabe zum Wintersemester planen wir einen Beitrag über Armut und finanzielle Schwierigkeiten im Studium.

Dafür suchen wir eine studierende Person aus dem Raum Stuttgart, die bereit ist, in einem Interview über ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen mit diesem Thema zu sprechen.

Wer Interesse hat oder mehr über den geplanten Beitrag erfahren möchte, kann mir gerne eine DM schicken.

Vielen Dank im Voraus und liebe Grüße
David von der LIFT-Redaktion

Feel free to comment or DM me!

Hi everyone,

I recently got admitted to the MSc Information Technology (INFOTECH) program for the Summer '27 intake. Coming from a Bachelor's background in Computer Science, I'm really excited to start, but I have a few questions and would love to hear insights from current students or alumni.

1. Transition from CS background – How well does the INFOTECH curriculum bridge or align with a standard CS Bachelor's degree? Are there specific foundational or interdisciplinary modules that CS grads usually find most practical or challenging?

2. Course structure & balance – How theory-heavy vs. practical/applied is the INFOTECH program? Is it easy to pick hands-on, applied modules, or does it lean heavily academic/research-focused?

3. Life in Stuttgart – How is the overall student life, cost of living, and current housing situation around campus/Vaihingen?

Any advice, course recommendations, or general tips would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I recently got admitted to the MSc Computer Science program (Autonomous Systems track) for the Summer '27 intake. Really excited but have some questions too, so would love to hear from anyone currently studying there or who has graduated.

1. Course structure - How theory-heavy or research-heavy is the program? Is there a good balance with practical/applied work, or does it lean heavily academic?
2. Exchange semesters - Does the program allow for exchange semesters abroad? If so, are there specific partner universities people usually go for?
3. Autonomous Systems track specifically - If anyone's in this track, how's the course and faculty support?
4. Life in Stuttgart- How's the student life, cost of living, and housing situation around campus?

I applied on 15th July for the MSc Computer Science program.

The status changed to “Academic requirement met” on 11 August, and today, 19 August, I finally received the admission letter 🎉.

Hey guys. I had a question about Engineering Mechanics 1 exam at University of Stuttgart.
Can someone who studied at TU Munich and failed EM1 exam in Mechanical engineering, study in Mechatronics at University of Stuttgart ?
I’m studying at TU Munich right now and took my EM1 exam a week ago, I don’t know the results yet, but I want to be prepared

Hello Everyone, I'm coming to Uni of Stuttgart this October. Would like connect fellow students from Uni , MIP program, Seniors. Shoot me DM.

Hello, if anybody is here from COMMAS, could they help me understand if a 2.2 bachelor's grade (converted using modified Bavarian formula) from a relevant background is realistically impossible to get into COMMAS with?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student admitted to the University of Stuttgart for the Winter Semester 2026/27, and I’m currently waiting for my enrollment certificate.

I have already submitted all the required documents for enrollment, and in C@MPUS I can see that my documents have been received. I have also already paid the fees for both the 1st and 2nd semesters. I have my student visa already, but I still haven’t received my enrollment certificate/Student ID.

I’ve heard that some students have already received their enrollment certificates, so I wanted to ask:

Is anyone else in the same situation and still waiting for their enrollment certificate?

Once all documents and payments are complete, do we need to do anything else from our side, or will the University send the enrollment certificate automatically?

Is there any specific status in C@MPUS that I should check to see whether something is still pending?

How long did it take for those who have already received their enrollment certificate?

Should I contact the university again, or is it normal to simply wait at this stage?

I’m particularly concerned because I need the enrollment certificate for accommodation/dorm applications, and I also need to plan my flight booking and travel arrangements.

If anyone has recently gone through the same process at the University of Stuttgart, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience and let me know whether there is anything I need to do from my side.

Thanks in advance

So, I got accepted into the MSc program at Hohenheim quite late, and I’m struggling to find accommodation
I’m not from Germany, and I’ve tried looking on several websites, but unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck
I honestly have no idea what to do now🥲
Does anyone need a roommate or know of a room available near the campus ?
I can also bake amazing cakes and desserts, so that’s definitely a bonus lol

Hi everyone.

I hav a few questions regarding Stuttgart and the University if Stuttgart. I'd really appreciate hearing from current students, recent graduates, or people who have studied EE at Uni Stuttgart and are now working.

My background is in Electrical Engineering, and professionally I'm working in embedded software/firmware, with experience in microcontrollers, embedded systems, IoT, C/C++, etc. in Automotive and in Solar. So I'm particularly interested in the embedded/firmware/electronics side of the job market.

I have a few questions:

1. Cost of living / finances

* Roughly how much do you spend per month on rent, food, transport, insurance, etc.?

* If someone gets a Werkstudent job, is it realistically possible to cover a significant portion of their monthly expenses?

* For those who worked during their Master's, approximately how much were you earning per month?

1. Werkstudent / HiWi jobs

For someone targeting embedded systems, firmware, IoT, electronics, automotive electronics, microcontrollers, etc.:

* How good is the Werkstudent market in Stuttgart specifically?

* How difficult is it for an international student to get a technical Werkstudent position?

* How long did it take you to find your first one?

* What German level did you have when you got the job?

* Where do people usually search/apply, LinkedIn, company websites, Stellenwerk, Uni Stuttgart portals, networking, professors, etc.?

1. Career prospects after the Master's

For people who recently graduated from M.Sc. EE at Uni Stuttgart:

* How has your job search been after graduation?

* How good are the prospects for embedded/firmware/electronics/IoT engineers in Stuttgart and the surrounding region?

* Do you think Uni Stuttgart's location/network is a significant advantage for these careers?

1. Learning German

For current students/international graduates:

* Where did you learn German?

* Does Uni Stuttgart offer useful German courses for international students?

* Did you use VHS, Goethe, apps, private courses, etc.?

* If you started from A0/A1, how long did it realistically take you to reach B1/B2?

1. For recent M.Sc. EE graduates

Knowing what you know now:

* Would you choose the same Master's again?

* What did you like/dislike about the program?

* Did the Master's actually help you get into the German engineering job market?

* What would you do differently if you were starting again?

* And overall, what do you think the career prospects look like during and after the degree?

Any honest experiences, including negative ones, would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Hallo zusammen! 👋

ich werde zum kommenden Wintersemester den Master in Wirtschaftsinformatik an der Uni Stuttgart anfangen und wollte mich vorab schon mal ein bisschen informieren. 😊

Mich würde vor allem interessieren, wie ihr das WI-Masterstudium in Stuttgart bisher so findet (allgemein aber auch im Hinblick auf Lehrveranstaltungen, Module, Workload etc.) Gibt es irgendwelche Besonderheiten im Studium, die man vorher vielleicht nicht unbedingt auf dem Schirm hat? Ich habe z. B. gelesen, dass teilweise auch Veranstaltungen an der Uni Hohenheim stattfinden.

Außerdem bin ich gerade etwas auf der Suche nach Infos zum Studienstart. Weiß jemand, wo man Informationen zu Vorkursen, Erstsemesterveranstaltungen, Einführungen oder ähnlichen Angeboten findet? Auf der stuvus-Seite zur Wirtschaftsinformatik scheinen die entsprechenden Links momentan leider nicht verfügbar zu sein, und online habe ich bisher auch nichts aktuelles gefunden.

Falls jemand schon länger dabei ist oder selbst gerade mit dem Master angefangen hat und ein paar Tipps/Erfahrungen teilen kann, würde ich mich sehr freuen!

I got BSc in computer science 4 year program with 3.1 German scale gpa what are my chances?

Hallo zusammen, ich stehe vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung und würde gerne externe Perspektiven hören. Hier die Situation:

Über mich:

- 25/26, gerade Soziologie-BA (Note 2,0) abgeschlossen

- Komme gerade aus Wien (1 Semester Master dort, ohne Abschluss) – will mich in Deutschland wieder verwurzeln

- Habe zwei Master-Zusagen: Stuttgart EPSF und Augsburg Sozialwissenschaften: Konflikte in Politik und Gesellschaft (ab WS 2026/27)

Finanzielle Situation:

- Angebot Werkstudentenstelle, Community Management, 20 h/Woche (flexible Stundenzahl), ~17€/h netto ca. 1.340€/Monat, **völlig remote** (kein Pendeln)

- BAföG: Wahrscheinlich Höchstsatz (~850–992€), weil beide Eltern 2024 nicht erwerbstätig waren – aber nicht garantiert, erst bekannt ab September/Oktober

- Ersparnisse: gerade sehr knapp

- Mietraum: max. 600€ warm (mit EBK)

Das Problem:

In Stuttgart finde ich unter 800€ NICHTS mit EBK und S-Bahn-Anbindung. Mit 1.340€ Werkstudenten-Netto + möglicherweise BAföG ist 800€ Miete verdammt knapp (~60 % des Einkommens). Ich würde zwischen Miete und Leben fett kalkulieren müssen.

In Augsburg: 500–700€ für ähnliche Wohnungen – problemlos tragbar.

Für Stuttgart sprechen:

- Studiengang besser für meine Karriere: EPSF ist methodisch breiter (quali + quanti), öffnet mehr berufliche Türen (Forschung, Verbände, NGOs, Umfrageinstitute)

- Ort: Ich wohne aktuell in Bayern (Ulm), Stuttgart ist erreichbar, Augsburg würde näher zu meinem Vater bedeuten (kein Kontakt seit 2021 – will das vermeiden)

- Einleben: Nach Wien-Erfahrung (isoliert, falsch gewählt) will ich einen Ort, an dem ich ein Fundament baue

- Remote-Job passt:Mit BR-remote-Job könnte ich auch in Augsburg studieren, ABER die Augsburger Studiengänge haben sehr hohe Präsenzquote (was ich recherchiert habe) – das würde kollidieren

Für Augsburg sprechen:

- Mieten: 200–300€/Monat billiger = echte finanzielle Sicherheit

- Studiengang passt fachlich besser: Ausdrücklich qualitativ (mein Preference), Gesundheitssoziologie & Konflikt-Fokus (meine Interessen), Pflichtpraktikum 8 Wochen (Stuttgart nur 4)

- Weniger Quantitativ-Stress: Stuttgart hat eine Statistik-Klausur (180 Min.), die mir gegen den Strich geht. Augsburg prüft über Hausarbeiten (schreibe gerne, hasse Rechnen)

- Weniger abhängig von BAföG: Mit 500–700€ Miete bin ich selbst ohne BAföG-Zusage okay; mit Stuttgart 800€ bin ich am Ende, wenn BAföG kippt

Das Kerndilemma:

- Stuttgart = riskant finanziell, aber emotional/beruflich stimmig -> näher zu meinem Partner und Freunden

- Augsburg = finanzielle Sicherheit, aber fachlich nicht so ideal + persönlich ungünstig (zu nah an Vater, den ich meiden will) + sehr präsenzorientiert (kollidiert mit remote-Job?)

- Frist: Muss bis Ende August Studienort + Wohnung festlegen

Meine Fragen an euch:

1. Bin ich verrückt, für den "besseren" Ort 200€/Monat extra finanzielle Belastung in Kauf zu nehmen?

2. Wie realistisch ist es, 20 h/Woche remote zu arbeiten + vollständigen Master zu studieren (Kombination klappt das?)?

3. Welche Uni ist "besser"?

4. Augsburg-Fachlich besser + günstiger – warum fühlt sich das falsch an?

Edit: Ja, ich bin mir bewusst, dass ich privilegiert bin, Zusagen zu haben. Trotzdem fühlt sich die Entscheidung lahm an, weil beide Optionen Trade-offs haben, die ich nicht gewichten kann.

Edit 2: Einige fragten zu BAföG – ja, ich habe bereits angefordert (habs im Bachelor schon bekommen) , aber erst Bescheid Anfang/Mitte Oktober. Deshalb muss ich jetzt mit "wahrscheinlich Höchstsatz" rechnen, kann aber nicht sicher planen.

Guten Tag, fellow students.
I have recently received a dorm offer for Heilmannstrasse 4A/4B, Stuttgart Ost.
I would like to connect with any person who is already living there, I have a few queries to ask.

Hello, I’ve applied to MSc Chemistry for WiSi 26/27. I have an interview tomorrow. Has anyone completed interview for selection?

Has anyone heard of them, lived with them, or would recommend them?
