- Likes:
- Ideal location, Good support for students, Decent opportunities to work in and around
- Dislikes:
- Lots of theory, Long examination period, Short mid-term breaks
Placement:
As with other international universities, there are no campus placements. But there are a lot of job fairs where companies visit and you can get to know what all companies are hiring. There are also opportunities for student jobs here. The average salary would be around 55K euros.
The major factor was the location of the university and the opportunities to work during and after studies. The university has a decent amount of courses to select from and offers a variety of them. The best part is that there are a lot of student positions within the university to help fund yourself. So, the experience has been good, and they offer various other networking events.
- Likes:
- The University of Stuttgart comes under the TU9 cluster and hence is well recognized.,
- Stuttgart is a major industrial hub in Germany and companies like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Bosch have headquarters here. The university's close ties with these companies offer students great work, internship, and job placement opportunities.,
- As it is a research university, it has a strong emphasis on research, with numerous research institutes within the university and collaborations with industry leaders.
- Dislikes:
- The cost of living, including accommodation and daily expenses is relatively high here in Stuttgart.,
- Sometimes language is a barrier at the University, as some courses are only in German.
Placement:
There is no such placement process in Europe but the University arranges job fairs where companies visit the campus and students can interact with them. There are frequent visits from top companies like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch, Siemens, etc. These companies offer a range of profiles, particularly in engineering, research, and development roles. The salary varies depending on the role and your skills, but the average salary is between 55k - 60k euros yearly.
The university is highly regarded in Computer Science and comes under the prestigious TU9 cluster i.e. one the of nine leading technical universities in Germany. They have different specializations and flexible course curriculum with a wide range of options to choose from.
- Likes:
- At the university you have frequent job fairs which is quite helpful.,
- Also the university allows doing masters thesis from companies like Mercedes and Bosch due to close tie relations.,
- It has good lab facilities and during summers you have various sports activities, dance classes, yoga, etc which you can register and participate in.,
- And for international students there is a mentoring program which helps in getting familiar with the university and the culture. The university tries to make sure internationals feel comfortable.,
- There are ample job opportunities in Stuttgart for doing internships, working student jobs, and also master thesis.
- Dislikes:
- Stuttgart is a bit costly. So for more money, the room that you get will be smaller than the rest of the cities.,
- Dorm rooms at the university are small. It's clean but really small so I find it a bit inconvenient. But there are better dorms but it's a bit costly.,
- Subjects are difficult. Becomes a bit stressful to manage studies and working student jobs. It's not something I don't like but yes it's stressful to study. But I believe it would be the same for any TU because it's focused on research.
Placement:
University doesn't offer placements but recruiters give preference if passed out from the university. And there are a lot of research opportunities.
I chose this University because companies give preference if passed out from this university as it is quite reputed and also Stuttgart is known for its industries hence getting a work is easier.
- Likes:
- My main aim was change from Electrical to CS and wanted a bridging course with focus in ML.,
- This place is like a hub of creativity and innovation! From cutting-edge research to cool student projects, there's always something exciting happening on campus. You'll meet people from all over the globe here. It's like a mini United Nations on campus, which makes for some really interesting conversations and friendships.
- Dislikes:
- Dealing with the admin can feel like navigating a labyrinth. From registering for classes to sorting out financial aid, be prepared to jump through hoops. The campus lacks that vibrant, buzzing atmosphere you might expect from a university. It's not exactly the place where you'll find spontaneous gatherings or exciting events around every corner.
Placement:
You need to apply to multiple places and be ready to face a lot of rejections. Only after that you get like a few interviews and then turn that into a career.
Internship:
Yes. I did a few co-op in Nokia and then at Fraunhofer.
- Likes:
- The Intelligently crafted curriculum with tracks in my areas of interest, not limited to RF technology, microwave front end design, microwave engineering, and microwave CAD lab. I’m certain that the program has been designed to create the best learning outcomes and augment my skills to the next level.,
- The graduate program in electrical engineering opens doors for unprecedented success, by endeavoring to not only push this field forward with its research projects but to do the same for the students there, which I find to be promising for the achievement of my plans.,
- Many opportunities surrounding the University , sports, HiWi, work, Part-time etc. the Intelligently crafted curriculum with tracks in my areas of interest, not limited to RF technology, microwave front end design, microwave engineering, and microwave CAD lab. I’m certain that the program has been designed to create the best learning outcomes and augment my skills to the next level.
- Dislikes:
- Labs are inadequate and less intake even though the intake for masters in very high. Doesn't allow for external thesis or research projects. This is very stupid in-fact, doesn't provide a topic in University and doesn't allow external ones.
Placement:
2 companies visited, Designer: profile offered, ALL: number of students placed, self: how is the placement process, 60K euro: median salary
Internship:
Interned in Bosch, Antenna designer and 1400 Euro, interview and then place offered.
- Likes:
- The course matched with what I was looking for and I already had some first experience in the field.,
- I liked the subsidized accommodations and the location of the university. Everything was available next to the university including transportation, outdoor stroll place and Internet.
- Dislikes:
- Infrastructure for the course, the class itself is okay but the lab exercises are not explained enough and most of us were clueless on what to do. The opportunity to work by yourself after classes in the lab was also limited.
Placement:
There is no placement, we need to search for jobs ourselves. Having work experience more than 3 years with German level B2 is highly beneficial and recommended. Salary depends on the city you get the job in. Around 48000-56000 brutto would be good starting salary.
Internship:
I interned in Robert Bosch during my study after my master thesis. I did voluntary internship which is quite had to get. After application and screening you will have 1 or 2 rounds of interview depending on the number of applicants. Cover letter and resume are required for the application. Around 800-900 euros will be provided as stipend.
- Likes:
- The course is very flexible, with both Electrical and Computer Science courses available. There is a good job market in the area. It is also a TU9 and is renowned for its innovative outlook on research.,
- The University has an exceptionally beautiful campus. There are beautiful hills and trails available. There is good on campus accommodation available (although you need to be quick to apply). The faculty is experienced and there's a lot of scope for research.,
- There are lots of opportunities for Werkstudent and HiWi. There's a good job market available in the nearby regions and cities as well. The city is also very international and is very happening. Transportation is cheap. It's easy to go in and around the city, and even state.
- Dislikes:
- "The only few downsides are that the courses may be a little too theoretical, and might not suit people looking for practical experience. Difficult to complete the course on time (although it's the case for any TU, especially a TU9) Getting on campus accommodation may also be very difficult. Apart from this it's a good place to study "
Placement:
It's pretty common to get into MNCs like Bosch, Mercedes, Daimler, Porsche. Continental after completion of studies.
Internship:
I'll be doing a werkstudent.
- Likes:
- The university that I choose is listed among one of the top 9 Technical Universities of Germany. The course was really good. The university is located in Stuttgart which is the automotive hub of Germany. There are lot of startups and companies like Diamler, Bosch, Mercedes Benz AG and etc. which makes it easier to get a working student job while studying. This covers living and food expenses. Students can work upto 80 hours per month. Since Stuttgart is a major city, the public transport is great and you don’t need a car to move around. Major part this course was taught in English, it was an international course. The University took care of our accommodation so I was very relaxed and my moving from India to Germany was very smooth. They also assigned a study buddy (a German senior student) to pick me up from airport and bring me to my dorm room.,
- The university campus is great, it’s located right above the metro station which makes it very easier to reach the university. The student dorms are located in the vicinity of a Kilometer. For international students there are lot of inclusion programs and orientation programs to help them navigate through the university departments and to feel at home. The university also offers interactive German language courses. There is also an international centre that comes up with various events and excursions to familiarise the international students with German culture. The university has a copy centre to get Print-outs at subsidised prizes. There is a student canteen that provides food at subsidised price for the students. Every student enrolled gets a travel pass that be used from 6:00pm onwards till 6:00 am next day in the week days and can used 24 hours on weekends. Other than that university campus has got a small forest adjacent to it. Where students can go cycling, trekking walking etc. there are also some lakes also near by. Overall the campus life is very nice.
- Dislikes:
- There is nothing major to dislike about. Only thing is that Masters in Technical Universities can take more than 2 years. It’s almost impossible to finish the course in two years. Also information technology course can get complex sometimes. The number of courses in the specialisation are overwhelming, sometimes it becomes hard to choose courses as all are great courses and it’s not possible to do everything. So one really need to be careful while choosing courses as it makes a difference when one is looking for jobs.
Placement:
Campus placements doesn’t happen like in India. There are job fairs though, where the students get information about companies that are available and their projects. Students can develop their network through these job fairs and later apply for jobs in these companies through their network.
Internship:
I didn’t get an internship for two reasons - I have 3 years of work ex and internship was not part of my curriculum. If students still want to get an internship, it falls under voluntary internships and many companies don’t prefer such internships because then the companies have to pay the students full time employee salary.
- Likes:
- - It is a TU9 University - It lies in the state of Baden Wüttemberg which has lots of headquarters for major companies, and thus more job opportunities,
- - The course curriculum is designed to shape the individual according to the current trends of industry - Campus is well spreaded across the region of Stuttgart and surrounded with people from different cultures - Immense job opportunities - Many Indian communities organise events such as Diwali, holi etc.
- Dislikes:
- - The state of Baden Wüttemberg has a semester fee of 1700 Euros - The University has strict policies with respect to its course and might be at times difficult for students to deal with it - You might miss the final convocation ceremony the way you must have imagined
Placement:
Here you need to attend job fairs and find a job that suits best for you. The best way to find or apply for a job is via LinkedIn, Stepstone.de or direct application via the company website. With regards to Research opportunities the best way is to find a list of Professors who are currently doing research in the field you are interested in and then directly emailing them asking for any open research topics or suggesting them your topic, if you have any. In both the cases, be it job or research the average salary is 60k Euros annually.
The University is more than what I expected. Be it with respect to course, accommodation, city etc, everything was just super. Also coming a new country with its own culture and language helps the student to come out of his/her comfort zone and also develops the soft skills.
- Likes:
- Curriculum of the course was only important parameter for me.,
- My masters degree and it's content was the best thing about University. I got what I expected - In depth knowledge and diverse range of modules. Plus, German universities don't have much tuition fees as well, so the overall expenditures were quite less.
- Dislikes:
- My University is in the State known as Baden-württemberg, Germany where tuition fees is NOT waived off for Non-EU students, whereas in all other states of Germany, tuition fees for STEM courses is zero for Non-EU students as well.
Placement:
Companies don't visit the campus here in Germany. It's the responsibility of student to apply for jobs by themselves.
Internship:
1. AVL, Graz - Intern (1100 euros NET). I contacted people in the management of this Company. 2. ZVRBB, Böblingen - Intern (900 euros NET). Mail to the Plant head.
