By Admin
Did you know that, you could rent a room in Frankfurt for just 250€/month? Yes, what you heard is true; a student pilot project "Cubity" is in place for revolutionising the housing by cutting down space, energy consumption and rent costs.  Cubity is a joint project at Frankfurt-Niederrad as a part of the "Home: Building and Living in Community" pilot project, which is jointly implemented by the Department of Integrated Urban Development and the German Architecture Museum and funded by the BMUB within the framework of the National Urban Development Policy.

*This is a Guest post - I am happy to collaborate with Ms. Anusha for this opportunity* I am a PhD student in the University of Hamburg since June 2016. I am working on the project titled "Coupling concepts based on Domain Decomposition methods".

By Admin
Job scenario in Germany Getting a job after Masters degree is an important aspect that many aspirants are worried about, some think it as a "return of investment" and some think it as a next-step in their career. If you are one of them and thinking about the job scenarios, then don't worry you are not alone. Even I was like you, when I started applying for Universities to pursue Masters in Germany. The main worry would be about, spending around 10-15k Euros, 2-3 years to get a Masters degree and then being jobless - YES, it would be a nightmare and completely understand it. But now for me, after staying in Germany I would say that, I was worrying too much about jobs while applying to Masters courses and allow me to walk you through why I feel this way.  The reason why I am writing about this topic is because, I am an active user in Quora  and I see lot of questions regarding "Job scenario for Masters students in Germany", "Job scenario for Mec...

Which country is better? Germany VS Singapore | Masters studies | MS course

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...

16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany | GermanyUnofficial

By Admin
16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany There are no ranking systems in place, to measure the universities The course you want to do is more important than the fame of the university No one will spoon feed you with respect to the subjects/labs that you should take to complete your course Most of the times, attendance are not taken in the class The Professors don’t care, if you attend the class or not The exams do not have a common pattern - meaning, XYZ subject can have the exam for 90 marks with a duration of 2 hours, whereas ABC subject can have the exam for 32 marks with a duration of 90 minutes. Other than the written exams, there can be oral exams, just projects where you need to give a presentation to get the marks You have the liberty to decide, which subject you want to study this semester and you can opt out of the examination even before 7 days of the exam date. Most of the times, you only have 2–3 attempts to clear/pass a subject - If...
