r/TU_Darmstadt

I got a admit to msc ICE for WiSe, which have all the communication modules. But I also want to register for multidisciplinary courses from other dept like advanced qm from physics and similar courses on the field.

Is it allowed for us to register for course outside the dept, if i complete all the mandatory courses for the program?

Also what is the usual wait time for the dorm?

I’m starting my MSc in Computer Science at TU Darmstadt and keep hearing that most students take longer than 2 years to graduate, even though the program is designed for 2 years.

Some people told me it’s completely possible to finish on time, but many students choose to study longer**. I’m someone who wants to graduate quickly and enter the job market ASAP**, so I’m curious:

• Is finishing in 2 years actually realistic?
• Why do so many students take longer — difficult courses, thesis delays, part-time jobs, internships, or just personal preference?
• If someone is disciplined and plans well, can they comfortably finish on time?

Would love to hear real experiences from students/graduates.
