    Studies at UniFreiburg

    UniFreiburg is an old university, which consists of various departments. I’m pursuing my masters in embedded systems engineering. It’s a good research based university with a lot of opportunities. They have a great teaching staff. The modules could be overwhelming and on the tougher side.
