COVID-19: Do NOT come for your masters (right now)

[@varunjs6418]

Hi VIkrant, How would you see the current situation now in Germany?

[@AdmissionJobandLifeinGermany]

Hi! The situation has improved a lot, and is essentially back to normal. Whatever economic impacts still remain of COVID should be covered by the time a student’s course is finished. So I suggest that this is the time to apply and come for studies 🙂

Recovery rate in Germany (68k) is greater than the people who are getting affected(58k). So there will be no problem for people who will be starting their masters now. In 2 years after their masters situation will improve. Students should do masters to study not to always care about part time jobs. So stop worrying about part time jobs and focus on studies. Later that will be useful in getting a job even tough there is a competition. This suggestion is for all.

[@AdmissionJobandLifeinGermany]

I agree to the suggestion, but I have known many students who simply could not afford to live in Germany without a part time job. And even though the recovery rate is better than the infection rate, it’s a matter of how long the economy is closed. Till the numbers go back to negligible, the economy won’t be back at its 100%. That’s just my perspective

Hey even i am planning to cancel the offer if deferring by an year is not possible but i am just afraid if i cancel it now will i be able to again get admission to the same University. Or will they reject as i have cancelled the previous offer.?

[@AdmissionJobandLifeinGermany]

That is really a question directly for the university/course administration. They’ll be able to give you accurate information. But if you work hard in this year, you’ll even have a chance at a better university next year.

Hey vikrant I have heard that germany allows 3 year bachelor degrees too for its MS programs...is that true?As 3 year bachelors is equal to 180 ECTS there?

Analysis is harder than you might currently think. I think it’ll be one of the last jobs to be automated.

Hello, What are your thoughts regarding the Robotics Systems Engineering course at RWTH INTAC? Also is there any procedure at RWTH to defer the admission and transfer it to Summer Semester 2021? I would like to do the same if its possible considering the situation in Europe and other countries.

That depends on the course coordinators, and I think even they aren't sure about the situation currently. Email them, and actually let me know their response too.

Hi Vikrant, Good sound advice but winter 2020 should be ok for MSc given it'll take 2-3 years atleast to graduate. By that time things will definitely be good in Germany and EU. But then again I guess u were referring to part time jobs from Indian students perspective. Given how numbers r decreasing if situation normalizes by June is it ok to proceed with my MSc. I've already delayed it quite a lot. Please let me know.

[@rishabhpuri3536]

Hey Vikrant, Thank you for the information. When you talk about financial issues like part-time jobs during studies at RWTH Aachen, do you believe this to be difficult or impossible? The semester will start in OCT 2020, and it takes some to to adjust before you start hunting for jobs. You are living there, what do you think will the situation will be in Jan 2021 with COVID19 as part of daily life?

Hallo sir Right now I am going to complete my 2 year in mechanical engineering & I am planning for Oct 2022 intake. My question is do job opportunities are better for students who do german taught courses compare to English taught? As I have enough time to improve my language, I already started learning German language and I am going to finish my a1 level soon. So,what do u suggest me ? & What are the courses with good opportunities in mechanical stream in coming future? Hope u answer my questions?

The course language doesn’t matter for jobs. It matters how good the person speaks the language in interview. And also, there are many more courses in German than in English.
