Hey mates

I have applied to FH Schmalkalden for Master applied computer science course back in march via their own portal.

As the deadline of this application is 15/4/26 for winter intake 2026/27. I would like to know if anyone got any updates regarding the same any admit or rejection for this course.

PS: I'm from India, and need correct information if available.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask specifically to current students/alumni of the MSc User Experience Design program at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt.

I’ve been hearing from a lot of applicants that even if someone has a 210 ECTS (4-year) bachelor’s degree, they still usually need around 20 weeks / 5–6 months of relevant work experience after graduation to get admitted. Some people also said applicants without post-grad experience often get rejected even if they satisfy the other requirements.

Is this actually true? Or is work experience mainly required only for 180 ECTS applicants to compensate for missing credits?

Hi everyone,

I recently received an admission offer from Technische Universität Ilmenau for a Master’s program. I’m happy to have an admit, but I’m a bit concerned because Ilmenau is a small town with fewer part-time job and internship opportunities compared to bigger German cities.

I’m still waiting for decisions from other universities, and visa processing from Nepal can take a long time, so I’m unsure what to do.

Would it be a good idea to:

• start the visa process,
• and later switch to another university if I receive a better offer?

How difficult is it to change universities later before visa interview.

Has anyone here done something similar? Any risks or things I should be careful about?

Thanks!

Hello mates,

I was filling out the form for the University of Trier for the Ms. Data Science course. While coming to the APS upload section, when I uploaded APS, it threw me a warning saying, "The signature is not verified."

I got my APS in February 2026, and it is valid with a proper file name and format

so anyone have any clue why it's happening

For security concerns, I can upload the snapshot, but those who have filled or are going to fill know what I am talking about.

Accepted Hoschschule Esslingen M.Eng ASM. Anybody with the same ??

Hello everyone, I'm an Indian mechanical engineer with 2+ years of total experience. 1+ year is in the design and development of a thermal simulation platform for PCBs and electronic components.

I have received an admission letter for the MME-CAME program which is a course offered by IntAc. The tuition fee is 18000 euro for two years of course + living expenses. Unfortunately, I did not apply for any other course for this winter semester intake.

I want to know if this is worth it (teaching + projects + industrial exposure wise), and will I upskill enough from this course to be able move into a project manager/lead role. If not this, is there any other course with summer intake that I can take.

Thanks in advance.
