University of Bamberg (reviews)

I am studying International Software Systems Science at the University of Bamberg. The programme has many interesting courses, but some courses are quite difficult and require a lot of self-study. I like the international environment because I can meet students from different countries. Most professors and university staff are friendly and helpful. Bamberg is also a beautiful, peaceful and student-friendly city. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand the course materials, especially for students without a strong computer science background. Overall, I have had a good experience, and I would recommend this programme to motivated students who are ready to study independently.

I am enrolled in the Software System Sciences master’s degree program. What I like most about my university is its open culture, which means you have full control over which courses you want to enroll in. Moreover, the helpdesk is very efficient in helping students.

The University of Bamberg is spread all over the City but you can still go everywhere within not more than 20 minutes by bike. Even though there are quite many students in Bamberg, it feels like the university is small and familiar because you will always see someone you know. Additionally, there is a high number of student organizations with different interests and focus areas. As a result, there are always events and the cultural life in Bamberg is quite diverse. The university itself also is a university of short ways. Depending on the degree of studies, teachers know their students and are supporting them with their studies. The administration is also helpful and answers within a short time. As a result, especially for teaching degrees i would recomment the university of Bamberg.

I loved my time at the University of Bamberg because of several factors. The Bachelor I chose to study there was unique in the way it was offered in Bamberg, there are many optional courses and every student can put together his or her individual schedule with times and topics that he or she liked best. Apart from that, the University of Bamberg is very international, there are hundreds of international students incoming as well as hundreds of students from Bamberg outgoing.
Regarding the professors and tutors, of course, there were some really good ones and other ones that presented their slides with less enthusiasm. You will figure out how you study best during your 3 years at University anyway. Sometimes it’s honestly better to stay at home and study for yourself…
Next, to that, our buildings are not on one campus, but we do have several smaller campuses where there is always a nice atmosphere and where you always meet someone you know.
There is also a big offer in student organisations. I was part of the student association AEGEE-Bamberg/European Students’ Forum, which enriched my student life in a way that I found amazing friends, I travelled a lot of thanks to AEGEE, I took part in different soft skill training and developed myself by working in AEGEE both on a local level, organizing projects and events and being part of the managing board and on the European level, participating in events and taking leading roles in our trans-national groups.
I would totally recommend the University of Bamberg to anyone who wants to study in a cozy, familiar atmosphere, who likes to engage himself in extracurricular activities and who likes UNESCO world heritage city centres. You will love Bamberg!
