Ilmenau University of Technology Speciality : Electrical Engineering
programme: Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

There is no coordination between exam office and the EI department. In pen and paper any master program should not take more than 2 years to complete. But reality is quite different in case of TU Ilmenau. You have to almost beg to get a project or master thesis. You can’t go directly to meet the professor without appointment. You get a reply from professor after 2 months that he/she does not have any topic or all places are already filled up. I never understood why did someone need 2 months to reply. So 6 months project becomes 1 year and its same for thesis as well. And the funniest thing is you get a German certificate in your convocation which is actually useless for an international student like me if I want to go back to my country or move somewhere else. They should at least provide an official translation in English like they provided during our offer letter. I would suggest, don’t come to this university if you have other options.
