I really like the Materials Engineering program at RWTH Aachen University because it is well-structured and combines strong theoretical knowledge with practical applications. I was especially impressed by the excellent research environment, including the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Metal Physics (IMM) and the Institute of Metallurgy (IME), where students can engage in advanced materials research. The university also provides very helpful support for international students, offering guidance with accommodation, visa procedures, and settling into life in Germany. In addition, the strong connections between RWTH Aachen and industry create excellent opportunities for internships, HiWi positions, and future careers. Overall, I highly recommend the Materials Engineering program at RWTH Aachen to students who are looking for outstanding research facilities, and a supportive international environment.

View moreOverall the experience has been good, level of materials and teaching depends on professors and institute, however the overall level is good. The theoretical things can be hard and stressful, but you can get through if you invest the time and energy.
The reputation of the University in the industry is also great and helpful for finding a job.
There are a lot of interesting course that can be elected, the exams are all doable, although some are easier than others. The food in the cafeteria is very good. There is a nice sports program, with again many courses.
View moreRWTH is one of the top universities in Germany without a doubt. When it comes to high-tech classes, it is undoubtedly one of the best universities. But, everything has its “dark side” or negative part, and so does RWTH. Living in Aachen was one of the hardest parts of my life, from never being able to find decent accommodation to the weirdest public transport, my life was so chaotic during that time. I literally had to travel around 30 minutes by bus, just to go from one class to another, this was one of the hardest parts of living and studying there. Moreover, one of the most irritating things that caused me a lot of trouble was finding a place to study, I always had to either go from one place to another just to find out that I could not find a place to study, so, I ended up wasting my whole day without studying, or I had to spend extra money to go to some cafes to find some quiet places to study (Espresso Perfetto was the best so far). Of course, I know that there should not be a lot of complaints, but unfortunately, I never had this intro from anyone, and I think that, new students have to know what are they going to deal with once they decide to study at RWTH, and most importantly live in Aachen.
