Embedded Systems - TU Chemnitz | Is the course very tough?

Image
By Admin
In the recent past, I have got a lot of messages from aspirants who have got admission in Masters in Embedded Systems at TU Chemnitz. Most of them have the same doubts, "Is the course very tough?", "Can we complete the course in 2 years?", "We heard that many students dropped out of the course, due to the difficulty!". 



I hope that I am eligible to write this article, as I am studying in this particular course and thus I have a better understanding of the subjects, difficulty, modules, etc., But still, I would like to mention this before-hand, that the content of this article is purely based on my personal experience and opinions.

Difficulty of the course:
When you are applying for a Masters course, you definitely cannot expect it to be a CAKE WALK. It is definitely going to be tough and definitely you will go through some harsh times, which will be a learning lesson to you. Keeping aside the Phylosophical thoughts, if someone asks me about the difficulty of the course I would say, it is EASY. The next question that may come to your mind is that, I must be one of the first-bench student who attends all the lectures and takes notes, etc., I would politely decline that, actually I am one of the students who doesn't even attend classes.

The course is not difficult, if you could UNDERSTAND the concepts. Because, the exams will not test your memory power rather it will test your understanding of the topics. Some subjects will have even practical labs, where some interesting but simple projects will be given and you can write the theory exam only if you pass that practicals.

Can you complete the course in 2 years?:
It certainly depends on the candidate, why because I have seen many students who have completed the course in 2 years and also some students who go for an Voluntary internship, HiWi so as to increase their experience in their domain and then complete their degree. So this will be more of an personal choice, where YOU have to decide when to complete the course.
Are the subjects difficult to study?:
As I had mentioned above, it is not difficult if you can grasp the concepts. Also there are some cases where you might have wanted to study Machine Learning, but would have chosen Embedded Systems because you couldn't get those course. When you do not have a proper knowledge about the basics of Embedded Systems, then it is going to be difficult.

Also, the Embedded systems course has a good choice of electives with subjects in Image processing, System Design, Networking, Automotive Software, etc., I kindly request you to go through the syllabus first, google the modules/subjects and then decide whether this course will be suitable for your career.

Everything you need to know about working part-time in Germany

By Admin
Students from the EU countries are treated as equivalent to the German students. But, the international students who intend to work on part-time to support their living and studies are allowed only for 120 full days or 240 half days per calendar year. There is an exception that, you can get an exemption to work more than 120 days, but that needs approval from the Federal employment agency and the foreigner's office. It is an un-told fact that, it will be very tough to get such an exemption to work more than 120 days per year. The good thing about the 120 days is that, if you are working as an research assistant then it is not included in those 120 days. In addition, the international students are not allowed to work as self-employed or as a freelancer. How to find a part-time job? There are plenty of ways to find the right part-time job (link) , which matches your needs and also goes well with your study period. There are more opportunities available during summer, chris...

By Admin
Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore. Trust me, even I was in the same dilemma when I wanted to pursue my Masters course. Let me throw some light on the analysis that I had done, based on my experience in Germany(Masters studies) and my observations from my friends who are studying in Singapore. Climate:   Are you a person who likes Winters to be cold(around 0 degree Celsius)? Are you a person who likes to just have 2 months of Summer? If you’re from a tropical country, then there is high possibility that you will not like Germany’s climate, but on the other hand Singapore has similar tropical conditions, which makes it easier to adapt.  Winner:  Singapore Course duration:  Most of the courses...
