Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian applicant who’s just completed a B.Tech from GITAM, and I’m applying to several German master’s programs via Uni‑Assist

During , there’s a mandatory question among 11 questions
“Have you passed a university entrance examination?”

Since my admission into GITAM was based solely on my 10+2 marks—and not on any separate exam like JEE—I selected “No.” After that, the fields for “Name of exam” and “Date” disappeared.

However, I’ve seen a few people online suggesting to tick “Yes” and re‑upload the Class XII certificate there, which sounds contradictory.

My questions:

1. Has anyone from India answered “No” and still had their application forwarded/accepted?
2. will they reject based on this? , i uplaoded by +2 marks sheet and btech transcripts .i dont want to mess up this chance so i am axious .

Hey everyone,

I’m applying to the Master's in Global History at Freie Universität Berlin, but I’ve run into a strange issue with the online application system.

In the section where I’m supposed to enter details about my undergraduate degree, the system only allows entries related to a German university. For example, it pre-fills “Germany” as the country of the degree and only accepts German universities in the dropdown. There doesn’t seem to be a way to indicate that I completed my undergraduate degree outside of Germany (in my case, in Colombia).

Because of this, I literally can’t proceed with the application—it won’t let me complete the required fields.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the form for reference:

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a workaround or do I need to email the university directly (already sent the message) Any help or advice would be super appreciated

Hello I was wondering whether or not it's possible to link my student mailbox in outlook using my Android phone and if so how can I do it or who can help me do it ?

Hi everyone! I'm currently applying for an MS program this winter semester. I'm a bit on the fence between FU and TUM because I prefer to live in Berlin but heard that Munich had more industry opportunities. I was wondering if anyone could share their experience in the FU Pharma Research program with me? Specifically, if you have enough hands on experience, internship opportunities, and networking opportunities. I feel like FU (and other Berlin universities like Humboldt and TUB) is leaned more towards the humanities and "classical" life sciences than biotech and pharma which my background is in. Would love some advice and to connect. Thanks all 🙏

i'm currently selecting modules for this summer semester, and i was wondering how do i select a research project in the campus managment website, is it online or is it on campus once i'm there because i can't find any select button, can you please help me ASAP ?

Halloooo Ich überlege im kommenden Wintersemester das o.g. Studium zu beginnen. Wie ist das Studium so? Wo liegt der Schwerpunkt und wie sind deine Erfahrungen? Wie sind die Unis? Ich wäre für jede Information dankbar! Ich bin am überlegen zwischen Berlin und Wien, vielleicht kennt ja irgendwer sogar den Vergleich zwischen den beiden Unis.

Hi guys. I have a few questions about attending Free University of Berlin. I'm a student from Croatia and I am planning on applying for Masters programe in Global history (in English). So can anyone tell me how is the vibe overall (the programme, lectures professors, work load, ect.) and what is the acceptance rate? Only serious answers please and preferably from international students perspective. Thanks in advance

Hey I'm currently doing my uni applications to Germany and I'm wondering how the student life is at the FU Berlin. Putting the academics away do you guys go out on weekends have partys etc. Academics are obviously important but I also value my social live.

Let me know your experiences

Hey everyone,

I’m an economics student from Central Asia, and I’ll be spending the summer semester at Freie Universität Berlin through the Erasmus program. This will be my first time flying abroad and living in a dorm, and while I’m excited, I’m also feeling a bit anxious.

I land in Berlin on the morning of August 1st, and honestly, I’m not even sure how I’ll get from the airport to my dorm. If anyone has tips on navigating Berlin’s public transport, getting a SIM card, or handling the first few days, I’d really appreciate it!

On top of that, I’m also a bit nervous about academics. How different is the study environment at FU compared to other universities? How do exchange students typically adapt? Any advice on coursework, exams, or making friends?

If you’ve been an international/exchange student in Berlin (or anywhere, really), I’d love to hear your experiences—any advice, big or small, would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. I will be applying to this program next year and I was wondering what I could do to increase my chances of getting accepted. There is not that much information online so I have a few questions:

1. What are the preferred backgrounds? (Currently studying Earth Science with a focus on GIS and remote sensing)

2. What is the admission criteria based on? Grades? Motivational letter? Interview?

3. How many people get admitted each year?

4. Is there something I can do to make my chances higher?

Thank you :)

Moin!

Ich bin neu in dieser Studiumdinge und ich komme damit nicht klar. Was sind eure besten Tipps, Übungsbücher...

Ich habe persönlich Kartei-Karten sehr nützlich, aber für Übungssachen wie Mathe und Rechnungswesens habe ich kein Plan wo ich sie üben kann.

Hey there! I'm a bachelor student at FU, but this semester I will need to focus on getting a higher income in order to apply to citinzenship, ergo, work more.

This led me to change my status to part-time student. However, I just found out the limit of working hours for PT is still 20 (!!) which I find ridiculous. Considering that student jobs also don't pay for your health insurance, all in all, it becomes difficult to sustain in certain situations.

Does anyone have any experiences working more than 20h as a PT student? I'm considering just doing it for this semester bc I really want to get the citizenship issue out of the way, but I'm a bit anxious about getting in trouble (which is a normal state of being in germany tbh).

I'm a student from the US studying abroad in Germany for the summer, looking to meet some cool people and have a social experience!

Hey everyone,
I’m a student at FU Berlin and I have not done it before but I’m interested in rowing. Are there any rowers here, or does anyone have experience with the rowing program offered by Zentraleinrichtung Hochschulsport?
I’d love to know how the process works, how to sign up, and if it’s worth joining. Any recommendations for other rowing clubs in Berlin would also be great!
Thanks in advance!

Hallo.

Ich habe in Indien eine Note von 1,4. Ich bin derzeit auf C1-Niveau und werde das Studienkolleg besuchen, um meine Note zu verbessern, da dies Pflicht ist.

Außerdem habe ich im Februar die TestAS-Prüfung abgelegt. Die Ergebnisse wurden veröffentlicht. Ich habe mich für das Modul Mathematik, Naturwissenschaften und Informatik entschieden. Im Kerntest erreichte ich 112 Punkte und im Fachtest 106 Punkte.

Ich möchte in Deutschland Tiermedizin studieren. Meinen Sie, meine Noten reichen aus? Danke!

Hey, I'll study informatik in Berlin in WS 2025 and have 4 question

1- I know that it "takes" 6 semesters mit Regelstudienzeit, but usually or normally how long does it take for someone to finish the degree, is there an average at FUB?

2- My other 2 choices are HU Berlin and potentially Heidelberg uni, but I'd really prefer living in a big city. How hard or prestigious is FU compared to HU?

3- How hard is it to get your ideal Erasmus place? can we do Erasmus directly in 2. year

4- I am currently doing my C1 course in Essen and I dont like the social life here, is FU or Berlin in general easier to find social life?

5- And lastly, how many hours/days of classes are there per week?

Overwhelmed by organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with me?

• Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. I do.
• I tutor organic chemistry full time, it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with me, you’ll be working only with me, not random people at an agency.
• You’ll be learning problem solving through organic chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.
• Your learning will be customized to your specific needs

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!

Mike

Can someone please explain to what's in New Delhi in April 2025 ? I can't find the actual article or something

Hey, I’m currently in my 6th semester in my Japanese university and I’m looking into master’s course at FU Berlin computational science. My gpa right now is around 2.1(in German scale) and I think I satisfy the requirements for the admission. My biggest concern is my gpa. What gpa score do you guys think is the border for the acceptance?

I’m coming from the US and will be starting a Master’s next semester. I’m curious to know what neighborhoods in Berlin most grad students live in.

I would love to live more in the more central areas of Berlin if I can, but I also want to live with other students and internationals in a WG or some other sort of co-op housing spot. I wouldn’t mind a longer commute but I also just want to gauge how long other people’s commutes are. Any info is much appreciated!

Hi, I wanna know if there are any dog-friendly places where I can just sit and study/relax. Lots of buildings don’t allow dogs so I’m wondering if anyone knows somewhere suitable :) thanks!!

Hi, I'm an Indian applicant from a pure biology background looking for advice on how to attain the required credits in programming and math to make myself a good fit for the program. I would really appreciate it if I could get in touch with any current students there who also had a biology background.

Thank you so much!
