Can someone elaborate more on this?

Hello, I want to apply for masters at rwth, my desired course is unrestricted, I am an international coming from a non-EU country. I was looking at the requirements and there is this section I don't think I fully understand.

"Because of these admission requirements, besides the application at RWTH Aachen, an examination of the professional suitability tested by Examination Board of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is necessary."

I think this means there is further assessment aside from the requirements, if I'm right can anyone elaborate please on what this assessment entails and how I can prepare for it?

How hard It is to get into ETH Zurich for pursuing Phd?

I am currently doing my Master Thesis in Faculty 8 in RWTH. It would be safe to say I have decent note below 2.0 and a recommendation letter from my supervisor. I am very intrigued by a department in ETH which aligns with research question that I am trying to address in my thesis. I had applied to the positions in that particular department but got a rejection. I had a german level of B1.

I would really appreciate if any alumni from Rwth shed their insights of how they had got into ETH?

How difficult is EE or ME at this uni?

Hi, i'm currently a student in the Netherlands in EE but the study here is extremely difficult only 30% get their bachelors in 4 years and almost of the people who make it are internationals (sadly i'm dutch)(The study is officially 3 years). Also, my univeristy has a rule if you fail 3 out of 12 subjects in the 1st year you're out of the study and are not allowed to retry this study for 3 years.

My 2 questions are:

1 What is the graduation rate for EE at RWTH (I could not find it online)?

2 Does the university have the same rule if you fail subjects in the 1st year?

Accommodation?

Hello, I want to apply in studierendenwerk aachen for student dorms. I saw different dorms in there, but is there any difference between those options? if yes, what should I consider before choosing? I am preferring to cook for myself, so should I prioritize single apartment?

PS : I did hear it would take up to a year to get accommodation or am I wrong?

Looking for Accommodation (A room in a WG)

I’m 23(M) years old and currently living in Pakistan. I’ll be moving to Aachen this December for my Master’s in Data Science at RWTH Aachen, and I’m very excited about the new chapter ahead! My visa process was delayed, so I expect to arrive on December 15th. I’d love to find a place where I can feel at home with some great company (preferably closer to RWTH Aachen).

A bit about me:

I’m easygoing and considerate and truly enjoy living in a friendly and respectful environment. During my Bachelor’s studies, I lived in a WG for four years, and had a great experience—I’m hoping for something similar this time around!

I’m always up for shared activities, whether it’s a movie night, a football game, or a board game session. I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and having engaging and thoughtful conversations about anything. I love coffee and listening to music. I am quite nerdy at times and like to drill down on certain topics. While I enjoy socializing, I respect others’ space and privacy, so I won’t be one to intrude. And if anyone ever needs help with something, I’m always happy to lend a hand! In terms of language, I’m fluent in English and am learning German. I intend to reach B1 soon to connect better with everyone around me.

To fund my stay, I’ll be arriving with a Blocked Account, guaranteeing 992 euros per month. I’ve also saved up from a job I had after my Bachelor’s, which I believe will comfortably support me for the next couple of years. Once I’m settled, I plan to look for a HiWi or part-time job, which will hopefully help me manage my finances even better.

If any of you guys have a place or know someone who might be helpful for me, please let me know via DM. I'll be very grateful :)

Gute Lernräume für Lerngruppen

Hey Leute, hat einer von euch eine Idee, wie man gute Lernräume für etwas größere Lerngruppen bekommt? Besteht die Möglichkeit, dass wir einige der Lernräume irgendwie buchen können? Weil ich und meine Lerngruppe suchen gerade nach einer guten Möglichkeit in etwas größerer Zahl zusammen lernen zu können, wo die Nutzung eines Beamers sehr praktisch wäre.

Review of MSc Robotic Systems Engineering (RoboSys) and the International Academy

Is there anyone who has studied in this program or is currently a student? How is your experience? Is the program comparable to TUM or TU Delft’s? Does it equip you with necessary skills?

Also, are the “international academy” courses good? Or is there any catch to them?

Is social sciences at RWTH worth it?

So long story short - i finish school this year and would like to study something politically related after. To date i have found a few universities' programs, which satisfy my wishes more or less: Uni Maastricht, Uni Koeln, Uni Wien and RWTH.
At first, I was sure that Vienna would be the perfect choice for me but lately I have also been seriously considering Aachen and its closer cities (for personal reasons). Yet the program in Aachen includes Theology, which i am not sure if i would be really interested in. I have seen though that there is a pure Political science Master's after.
Anyone who has had an experience with these universities or the program in Aachen specifically would be of great help to me.

Belated exam registration

Back in October, I registered for the Grundlagen der Analysis and Grundlagen der Algebra exams.   But when I just now checked the Prüfungen section on RWTH Online, I realized Grundlagen der Algebra wasn’t listed. I also didn’t get a confirmation email for that registration.    The Grundlagen der Algebra exam has two dates: 1) November 7, 2024, and 2) December 5, 2024. 

The registration deadline for the first date was October 31, so I just submitted a belated registration request through Paperless.

I’m wondering if there’s a chance I can still take the exam on the first date.

Also, how long does it usually take to get a response from Paperless?

And given how close the exam is, would it be smart to reach out directly to my professor or a tutor as well?

I'd much prefer taking the exam on the first date because I prepared a lot and want the possibility of a retake it in this semester, in case of a fail.

Is Computer Engineering B.Sc. worth it?

I'm a first semester CE student. I know that the course is a combination of computer science and electrical engineering and that it's extremely new and has certain organizational problems.

I've also noticed that the RWTH is one of the only universities in Germany that offers this course and it's not that popular.

When looking for jobs on LinkedIn (because I plan to work after a few semesters) I also noticed that most jobs specify that they want a computer science student, and don't even mention computer engineering.

I'm also planning to do a Master's degree and that's another issue. I am having a hard time finding one master's program for computer engineering (other than M.Sc. CE itself). Every Master's program I'm interested in has a bachelor's degree in computer science as a prerequisite.

I'm interested in hardware and physics, but I tend much more towards software. My question: is it worth continuing with this course or should I just switch to computer science?

Finding people having MS

Hello all,

Hope all are doing well. I got diagnosed a year back with MS and i am doing ok as of now but its a struggle with it on emotional and mental level. I live in aachen and am an alumni of RWTH and looking for people to connect with who have MS. So that we can make a group and meet sometimes so as to talk about it on emotional level, cherish small victories with it and help each other out.
