M.B.A from RWTH Aachen University [RWTH-AACHEN], Aachen - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• The curriculum was challenging enough based on the depth of the concepts covered in few of the discipline courses. It was more theoretical than practical. Also, due to COVID the practical part was nearly zero during my study period.
• Some of the positive aspects for my course was that it was fairly distributed among the mechanical, controls and software part of robotics. On an average there were around 3-4 classes scheduled each day and the usual timings are 10am to 6 pm in the day. We had around 155 students in our class and among which 100 of them were indian

• You can use the university website to apply for student dorms, WG-Gesucht, and other relevant apps. Challenges would be that the process is highly time-consuming and fake ads. Make sure you pay the amount in person after coming here if you don't find the opportunity to be reliable.
• One suggestion would be to make friends in Aachen through LinkedIn who will be your senior so that he can assist you, guide you, recommend you, and possibly check the accommodation options if it's genuine.

• The course was very hard such that it might take 2 additional semesters to clear the exams. The course focuses on more mathematical derivations since it works more on research.
• The positive aspects is content in course, is upto date and negative aspects is the content is not much relevant to practical point of view.

• The tuition Fee was almost free for most common courses, but for some English taught programs the fee will be 24000 EUR for 2 years. And social contribution of 298 EUR per semester need to be paid. The living expenses are 700 to 850 EUR per month and insurance will be 139 EUR.
• The fee will be charged semester wise.

• I have mentioned my opinion about the learning front of my course earlier.
• But to talk specifically about the course difficulty, I would say it is balanced; I would call it more hectic than difficult. And yes, it is a mix of both theory and practice and sometimes more practice than theory, which is a great part of our course.
• Typically, there would be at most 2 lectures scheduled for a day.
• Usually one subject would have one lecture per week, which seems less at first but is not.
• At average, there are 30 students in a class and unfortunately, in terms of diversity, there are a majority of Indians in our class.

• As far as the fees is concerned, it can be broken down in two bits:
  • 1. The tuition fees, which are about 30.000 euros and are paid in equal installments per semester (3 semesters).
  • 2. The other thing is the semester contribution, which is around 350 euros, paid per semester and is basically a charge for your semester ticket- that allows you to travel through Germany without any ticket.
• Talking about the monthly expenses, one can live in Aachen comfortably with around 1000 euros per month, inclusive of rent, food, insurance, outings, etc. ( This could sometime be more or less depending if you're taking any external paid classes, for instance language classes.)

• The course curriculum is very difficult especially for my course robotics in growth it is one of the most difficult courses. The course is completely theoretical which is like most of the courses in RWTH as it is a research based university.
• A positive aspect is that the course is technical and upto date with modern technology and findings which is very good. Negative aspects are that there are a lot of subjects to be completed, about 10 technical compulsory courses and 5-6 elective courses that can be technical and non technical both.
• Classes are about 2-3 on avg per day, usual timings differ from course to course, subject to subject which can be sometimes from morning 8:30am to 4pm or from 10:30am to 12pm.
• Average number of students per class ranges from 40 to 100.
• Indian students are about 30-40% of the class population.

• The tuition fees for my course is 6000 euros per semester, so accounts to 24000 euros for the course duration. The fees is charged semester wise.
• Apart from this there is another semester contribution fees of about 300 euros per semester which is to be paid. If we extend the duration of the course, the fees for additional semesters is 750 + the 300 euros semester contribution fees.
• My monthly expense along with the rent, health insurance and everything goes upto 800-900 euros.

• Difficulty level - On a scale of 1-10, the course was 8 difficult.
• The course was 30% theoretical and 70% practical. Students were graded on their in class activities, presentations etc and not just the final examination.
• Hands-on experience instead of just a theoretical approach was positive.

My course has been discontinued and replaced by a renewed syllabus under the name 'MSc Networked Production Engineering'. This course has more flexibility and verticals to choose from. Industrial or hands-on experience was not included in the syllabus- you are expected to take up student jobs at the uni for that exposure.

13,500 EUR for three semesters (90 credits).

The course curriculum of my particular course is very much updated with the modern trends like big data and artificial intelligence and deep learning. I will also like to point out that our course is more like a hands on project which helps us to cultivate the basics of various subjects from the ground up and building a stronger base as we move forward.

22000€ without discount or scholarship.

The course is updated and relevant to the industry standard.

30000 Euros.

The course syllabus is regularly updated. The university added new subjects like Artificial Neural Networks in mechanical engineering! The industrial exposure is limited, unless a student is willing to take up a research work and connect to an external institution.

18000 euros
