I’m a Computer Science Master’s student in Germany. I moved to Germany in the Summer Semester of 2024 and have experienced the process firsthand—from choosing universities and preparing applications to relocating and adapting to student life. Since then, I’ve also worked as a Werkstudent in software development at a startup and gained experience in AI/ML. I also had the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at TU Wien through Erasmus. I’m here to share practical, experience-based advice on university selection, CV/SOP/LORs, applications, moving to Germany, Erasmus, finding Werkstudent jobs, and starting a career in Germany.
