- The overall good part about a German University is the education is for free, being an expat that makes me happy.
- I feel glad to be part of my research training group - TransEvo where I have the opportunity to discuss my ideas with equally enthusiastic PhD students and work interdisciplinary.
Dislikes
- The German official paper works are always in German language, I had to accept that because I am in Germany, and the translation for every single document is not available. Sometimes it takes a while to tackle official paperwork.
Placement
Job fairs are organized on a yearly basis, there is an opportunity to meet new people during the core seminars and the re-treatment. Another important module is the rotation project, where a student can also do part of his/her PhD dissertation with a partner institute or in some industry.
I chose this university as the topics that I have been working on was the suitable one that I had been looking into. I am highly satisfied with the offer from Kiel University, its a place where you can learn almost everything that is on your list.
