Expert Answers
Which scholarships can help me fund an engineering degree in Germany, and how much do they cover?
→Engineering students in Germany can look at the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD scholarships and TUM merit waivers. Coverage ranges from EUR 300 a month to a stipend of EUR 992 to 1,400, or a waiver of part of TUM's fee. Confirm current terms on official pages.
Do German universities give scholarships to me as an Indian computer science student?
→Yes, but most funding comes from national schemes rather than universities. The Deutschlandstipendium pays EUR 300 monthly (approx INR 31,900) once you are enrolled at a participating university, while DAAD's STEM master's scholarship (EUR 992 monthly) does not list India among its countries, so check DAAD first.
Which German universities should I shortlist for my automobile engineering degree?
→For automobile engineering in Germany, the University of Stuttgart, RWTH Aachen and TU Darmstadt are commonly shortlisted for their automotive focus. For mechanical engineering, TUM and TU Berlin also come up. Compare each programme's curriculum and industry links on its official page.
Do German universities build a company internship into computer science that I can do?
→Yes. OTH Regensburg's English-taught BSc includes an 18-week internship in semester 5, Kassel requires 9 weeks and C1 German, and Konstanz's MSc requires at least 8 weeks in semester 2. A placement is not guaranteed, so you usually apply to companies yourself.
Can I get a scholarship for a business analytics master's in Germany?
→Yes, depending on the programme. Mannheim Business School advertises merit scholarships of up to 35% of tuition, Cologne Business School awards scholarships through regular admission, and DAAD funding is programme-specific. Public German universities often charge little or no tuition, so compare them before paying private fees.
Which specializations in MSc Forensic Science in Germany are popular, and what would I study in each?

Where can I study mechanical engineering in Germany with a compulsory industry internship?
→Yes. Coburg, OTH Regensburg and Technische Hochschule Nuremberg list a 20-week internship or practical semester, Aalen has a compulsory practical semester in semester 5, and Heilbronn requires at least 20 weeks. DAAD lists non-EU tuition from EUR 500 to EUR 1,500 per semester across these.
Should I apply to DAAD or to German university scholarships for my mechanical engineering master's?
→Yes. The Deutschlandstipendium pays €300 a month at universities such as Hannover, Stuttgart and TU Dortmund, TUM pays €500 to €1,800 per semester to enrolled students, and RWTH offers up to 35% off tuition for eligible master's programmes. Most are partial, and the DAAD STEM scholarship does not list India.
