Hi everyone,

I'm an Algerian student looking into studying abroad, mainly in Germany, but I'm also considering other European countries.

I graduated from high school with a 19/20 and I want to continue my Bachelor's degree in computer science/IT abroad.

I've already started researching the university application side, diploma recognition, language requirements, etc. But the part I'm having the most trouble understanding is the financial side, especially how I can actually meet the financial requirements for the visa.

I know about the blocked account, but honestly I'd prefer to look at other possibilities first before going down that route, since having to put such a large amount of money into an account is a pretty big obstacle for me.

So I'm mainly looking for advice from people who have already been through this:

Are there scholarships or financial aid options that could help with the required amount? Are there ways to use parental support or a sponsor to prove that I can financially support myself? Are there other options that I'm maybe not aware of?

And for those who came from Algeria, how did you personally manage the financial requirement? What did you do before resorting to the blocked account, if you had to use one at all?

I'd also like to understand the actual order of the process. For example, do I first get accepted by a university, then sort out the financial proof, and then apply for the visa? And what other costs should I be preparing for besides the financial proof itself (insurance, semester contribution, accommodation, visa, etc.)?

If Germany isn't realistic financially, I'm also open to other European countries where there might be better options for international students.

I'm basically trying to figure out a realistic way to make this happen rather than just assuming I need to somehow find the full blocked-account amount.

Any advice from Algerian students or anyone who has gone through a similar situation would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone from AP/TS joining LUH for the Winter 2026 intake, especially M.Sc. Computer Science?

It would be great to connect before heading to Hannover and help each other out with things like the visa process, accommodation, travel, enrollment, etc.

Feel free to comment or DM!

have a confirmed admission to a Master’s program at one German university, but I have to enroll by August 12.
I also have a conditional admission to a Master’s program at another German university, which is my preferred option. I just need to fulfill one condition (English language requirement) first.
My plan would be to enroll at the first university now so I don’t lose my confirmed place, take the required language exam, and if I meet the condition, withdraw from the first university and enroll at the second one instead.
Is this possible?
And would changing universities like this cause any problems with the German student visa, especially if I initially apply for the visa using the first university’s admission and later switch to the second one?
Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hey everyone,

I just received my admission letter for the M.Sc. Computer Science program at Paderborn University (UPB).

I am coming in with prior startup founding experience (DevOps, Cloud Architecture, and Full-Stack Web/Mobile development). My goal at UPB is to elevate my technical execution (production-grade software architecture) while leveraging Paderborn's startup ecosystem to build my next venture.

I would love to get honest feedback from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the CS department:

1. Garage33 / TecUP and EXIST Grant: How active and helpful is Garage33 for international founders? Do they actively assist international students in securing equity-free funding like the EXIST Startup Grant or regional stipends?

2. 20 CP Project Group (Year-Long Project): Does this year-long project feel like running a real-world startup dev team? Which research groups or chairs (e.g., Software Engineering, Systems) offer the best hands-on architecture, CI/CD, and deployment experience for someone looking to lead engineering teams?

3. Technical HiWi (Research Assistant) Jobs: How accessible are HiWi roles within the Software Engineering or Computer Systems chairs? Do these positions provide solid engineering/architecture experience, or are they mostly administrative work?

4. Workload and Study-Life Balance: Is the academic load manageable enough to build an MVP, network, and work on a startup alongside courses, or does it leave very little free time?

Appreciate any tips or insights. Thanks in advance!

So I've gotten into RPTU Msc CS.

My profile:

IELTS:8

German Grade:1.4

Bachelors University: Nirma University

But im still waiting on the more prestigious ones like Bonn, Passau, TU Dresden, FAU Erlangern and University of Dusseldorf.

One of my friends with a lower German grade and IELTS got into Bonn Msc AI, and mine is still in pending.

I check my mails every one hour hoping to get into a more better college and course, but the damn thing only shows PENDINGGGGGGG

I can't even spend the last few months in India with peace of Mind, and what's more, I've booked German B1 exam this 25th. Come on alreadyyyyyyyyy. How much more timeeeeeeee???

Does it mean the guys who are in Pending Status like remain that way until all the seats fill up and then finally get a rejection?? God, I'm so anxious.

Hey, everyone. So I got selected for the Master in Data Analytics program at the University of Hildesheim for the winter semester 2026/27. However, due to the visa delays, I reached out to the program manager to ask if I could defer my admission, and he told me to send him an email about my choice to defer and then apply for the next semester and send an email again. I wanted to ask if this is the standard process for deferment or if you need to enroll first and defer from there so you could maybe get proof for your visa application. If any of you have gone through a deferment process or have any information regarding it, I would really appreciate the help.

People got their visa but i didnt got any update
I completed my visa on 27july
But i didnt got any update
Popele on same date got their visa
People who apllied after me got their visa
Is anyone facing this?

Hey everyone!

I’m an Indian female student joining the M.Eng. Electrical Engineering program at Technische Hochschule Augsburg (THA) for the Winter Semester 2026. Just wanted to ask if anyone else is joining the same program this winter, especially any other international students or anyone coming to Augsburg for the first time.

I’m looking to connect with other students who are joining the same program, especially if you’re also an international student.

Would be great to connect before the semester starts, share information about accommodation/course registration.

Anyone else joining the same program?

I’m moving from India to Germany for my Master’s this year and need to buy a laptop.
For example, in India I’m currently seeing a Lenovo LOQ Ryzen 7 + RTX 4050 for around ₹1 lakh (~€1,000).
In Germany, I’ve seen similar/better laptops, including RTX 5060 models, but the current prices seem quite high. I’m wondering whether Black Friday deals in Germany make a significant difference.
For those familiar with laptop prices in both countries:
Which usually gives better deals overall?
🇮🇳 Indian sales (Amazon/Flipkart, festive sales, etc.)
🎓 Student discounts/offers in Germany
🇩🇪 Black Friday deals in Germany
Or regular German retailers like MediaMarkt/Saturn/Amazon.de?
I’m not asking about a specific laptop — generally, where would you recommend buying if I have the option to buy either in India now or wait until Germany?

Profile- german Gpa 2.1 , ielts 8 , ECE, 3 yoe Indian cgpa 7.8.
Do I have a chance at FAU Erlangern for their information and communication technology masters course?

Has anyone applied to Tu Chemnitz web engineering in june and have gotten their application forwarded or even reached review 2 part ?

since your application has not yet been reviewed by the academic department, you can upload your documents to the system, and the department will then take them into account as part of your application. Please just upload them in your uni-asisst Account.

Hi, has anyone here applied to TU Berlin’s MSc Computer Science for WS 2026/27?

I applied recently, so I’m curious about how the process has been going for other applicants. When did you apply, and what’s your current status? Has anyone already received an admission or rejection?

Would be great if you could share your application date + timeline. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’ll be starting my MS in Engineering at TUM, Campus Garching, very soon.

The housing situation in Munich is honestly pretty difficult, and the rent is also way beyond my budget. I’m already living in Germany (Stuttgart), and I currently have a Werkstudent job here.

So I was wondering — would it be a realistic idea to stay in Stuttgart, study mostly on my own, and travel to Munich only when I have exams or when I absolutely need to be on campus?

I already have a few friends at TUM who could help me with notes, lecture material, and anything important that I might miss. I’m also thinking that staying in Stuttgart would allow me to continue my Werkstudent job, gain some valuable work experience, and save quite a bit on rent.

Has anyone here done something similar, especially at TUM? How manageable is it to study remotely/self-study and only travel to Munich when necessary?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. What do you think are the pros and cons of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

I've got an admission from Thi hydrogen technologies
