Student review [#101794] for Chemistry
at University of Rostock

I am an international PhD student at the University of Rostock and joined LIKAT in September last year. My experience so far has been positive overall. The university offers a good research environment, especially for students interested in chemistry and catalysis research. At LIKAT, I had the opportunity to work with modern equipment and interact with researchers from different backgrounds, which helped me develop both scientifically and personally.
Rostock is also a calm and beautiful city, especially for students who prefer a quieter environment compared to larger German cities. The cost of living is relatively manageable, and the Baltic Sea atmosphere makes the city unique.
As a foreign student, adapting at the beginning was sometimes challenging, especially with bureaucracy and language barriers, but the university community and colleagues were generally supportive. I also appreciated the international environment in the research institutes .
Overall, I think the University of Rostock is a good place for motivated students who are interested in research and academic development in Germany.
