RWTH Aachen University

University has a lot of international exposure, encourages students to tackle the challenges with proper study guidance. offers a wide variety of research-oriented programs. A lot of opportunities for Scholarships as most of the researches is funded by OEM's, some by the government, and sometimes even by professors. A lot of fun activities involved apart from studies. Opportunities to develop one's extracurricular activities apart from studies. Work culture exposure through student internship opportunities. University provides excellent guidance to career growth even after studies.

I took the condensed matter physics class, but the professor was not on top of the materials. She could not explain the concepts clearly, and when asked questions, she missed the key points. Luckily we got help from other senior students, otherwise, the whole class would have been wasted.

I think that RWTH is for your professional future as an engineer a perfect choice. In Germany RWTH is one of the best university for technical studies and also Germany companies know that, what give you advantages in the future career. Further Aachen is a city with a lot of students and so student life in Aachen is great. The food and drinks are pretty cheap and there are a lot of student activities going on. On the other hand, at RWTH there is a very long exam period, so there is not really a semester break in-between and a high failure rate. But the effort worse it.

The research facilities for Electrical Engineers are really modern and advanced. I am pursuing my Masters in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Micro and Nano Electronics. I got here last year and I got the opportunity to directly hit the labs and start doing some experimental work based on the theory that I had learned during the lectures here. I would like to specially mention the clean room facilities called the Central Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology. We can perform advanced research on seminconductor and nanoelectronic devices here. From the basic processes to fabrication of a transistor, everything is possible here with the help of the modern equipment availiable in the labs. In addition to this, I would also like to point out to the fact that this university receives generally a lot of research grants from the Industry and therefore, there are always numerous small projects underway. You, as Bachelor or Master students, can easily join them and act in your capacity to get some first hand research experience and also get paid sometimes for the work you do! ? I might have only mentioned the facilities for microelectronics, but there are also facilities for power engineering students, biomedical engineering students, communication engineering students and so on. RWTH is a place to be if you want to get some first hand research experience and expand your skillset related to electrical engineering! ?

I am a first-year student and I really enjoy studies and life in Aachen. There are many students in the Uni and hence many people to get known to. The Campus is spread all around the city. It is very easy to get a room in the dormitory, the city is not that big, but there are many other famous German cities around, you can get there for free by train.

I was an exchange student in Uniklinik Aachen hospital, I’m a medicine student and they treat me very bad, making jokes of me, until arrive a point that I could not be there anymore. The coordinator of exchange students also treat students in a very rude and disrespectful way.

Great facilities, diverse resources and knowledge base. The various subjects offers can be taken advantage of to hone your skills. Good tie ups with the industry and amazing student life. The city is affordable to live in and student life is quite vibrant with lots of opportunities for fun as well as learning.

RWTH Aachen is known for its very good education in engineering related studies, such as Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The university has a lot of good professors that have experience from work in the industry. Exams are quite challenging, so that the degree is seen as a very good qualification in Germany, and also abroad in Europe. A negative point are the very large classes, especially during the Bachelor degree. In my class, there were 200-300 students, while in other classes it went up to 1000 students in one lecture which makes it tough to actually listen. As most classes are not obligatory, many students do not attend classes in the Bachelor study anymore. Besides the study, Aachen is a very beautiful city and very enjoyable. The university brings a lot of life to the city, as the number of students is quite large (ca. 50,000). You will definitely not get bored.

I am a foreign student and I did not know German. But luckily, that was not a big problem for me, since the language center offers very good language courses. The courses are spread throughout the week at very comfortable times, such that we do not have to miss our regular lectures to attend these lectures. In addition to this, the teachers are very proficient and often provide us with extra material (other than the coursebook) for more practice. They are also available after the lecture hours for doubt clearing. Sometimes, the courses are also offered for free to the students who have German requirements for their degree programs. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend taking language courses from the language center. It's definitely better and a lot cheaper than other private language offering centers in Aachen.
