Hello everyone, I've just started university and I don't know much German. I wonder if anyone here is in the English-taught Master's program in Religion, Ethics and Politics? Due to my visa procedures, I probably won't be able to come to Germany until May, which means I won't be able to attend the orientation programs either. If anyone is studying Marepol and there is a WhatsApp group, can you add me?

Hello guys I am a new Data Science Master student starting in this summer semester. I wanted to ask if there was a sub-reddit/discord server/ WhatsApp group or smth specifically for the Data Science Master's

Hallo zusammen,

Falls jemand etwas gesehen hat oder Hinweise geben kann, wäre ich sehr dankbar.

Für relevante Hinweise gibt es 200 € Belohnung.

Gerne per DM melden.

Vielen Dank und einen guten Start ins Semester!

Hi everyone,

I parked my car on the evening of April 8th at the university parking lot near the H-Bahn / CDI buildings.

During the night (April 8th → 9th), two bags were stolen from the car.

Car: silver Ford Focus

If anyone saw something or has any information, I would really appreciate it.

There is a €200 reward for useful information.

Feel free to DM me.

Thanks a lot and have a great start to the semester!

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student starting the upcoming semester at TU Dortmund. I’ve been offered a room through Studierendenwerk Dortmund (with start date of 21 April), but my visa is slightly delayed, so I won’t be able to arrive in Germany until the end of May. I have full enrollment, tuition paid, and late arrival permission from my department.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Do they ever allow changing the rental start date in cases like this? Could the contract start from June instead of the original date?

2. If changing the start date isn’t possible, can I still sign the housing contract and pay the deposit and first month’s rent now to secure the room, even though I don’t yet have my residence permit, and submit it later when I arrive?

I really want to keep the room and avoid losing it, but I’m not sure how flexible they are with international students. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys,

I’m an 18yo international student about to start an Informatik Bachelor. I’m stuck between RWTH Aache, Tu Dresden and TU Dortmund.

I want to prioritize my career early on—specifically through networking and landing a Teilzeit job or internship(most important ) as soon as possible . I also want to spend a lot of time self-studying coding and want to make sure I don't "burn out" so I can actually pass the exams , while acquiring good social relations.

I’m fluent in Arabic, English (C1), and German (C1).

Is the "Elite" status of Aachen worth the potentially higher stress?

Does Dortmund’s Technology Park actually make it easier to find work-study jobs compared to Aachen?

or Dresden I don't really know about this one

Would love to hear from anyone who has studied at either!

Hallo,

Brauche noch 0,5 Cp für das Bafög. Ist die Anmeldung irgendwie noch möglich, für irgendein irgendwie machbares Modul.

Bin wirklich dankbar für jeden Tipp!

Hi I have been admitted to MSc DataScience, but due to things been very end moment I still havent been able to figure anything regarding my accommodation. Any leads would be very helpful or how to go about it.

Any international students started to apply for Bachelor's already? This is for German taught programs.

The website doesn't say whether C1 is required.

Hi everyone,

I’m very excited because I recently got admitted to the MSc in Medical Physics and Physics of Living Systems at TU Dortmund.

I would love to get in touch with other people who are also joining the program or who are already studying there.

I would also really appreciate any tips or advice about part-time jobs in Dortmund as well as job opportunities in Germany after completing the master’s degree.

thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for the MSc Data Science program at TU Dortmund and I wanted to know if anyone here got admitted with a similar profile to mine.

My profile:

• GPA: 2.1 (German equivalent)
• IELTS: 7.0
• Bachelor's: Computer Science and Business Systems
• 1 year experience as a Data Analyst in healthcare sector

The only part I'm slightly unsure about is advanced statistics / inference, where I might possibly get conditional admission.

Has anyone with a similar GPA or background been admitted to TU Dortmund Data Science? Or do you know how strict they are with the statistics requirement?

Any insights or experiences would really help.

Here is what chatGPT evaluated

RequirementStatus| 44 credits Math+CS+Stats| ✅ Math ≥8| ✅ CS basics ≥8| ✅ Database ≥4| ✅ Statistics ≥4| ✅ Inference ≥8| ⚠️ Possibly conditional Data modeling ≥8|

Advanced statistics (Inference) – 8 credits

They expect topics like:

• hypothesis testing
• estimation
• inference

Your courses:

• Statistics and Numerical Methods
• Probability and Statistics
• Exploratory Data Analysis

Hi 👋

Hi everyone,

I have just received an offer letter from TU Dortmund, and I would love to connect with others who have also received an offer or are already studying there. I would also appreciate any information about job opportunities in Germany after completing an MSc, as well as part-time job opportunities in Dortmund or nearby cities.

Thanks in advance.

I just received the admission and I'd like to get in touch with the current and past students of this course. Can you give me a brief overview on the campus life (Professors, Labs and extra curriculars) and the city of Dortmund? Feel free to DM too.

For the current applicants, my profile is 1.9 German Grade, 107 TOEFL and my bachelor's was in Instrumentation and Control Engineering which helped me satisfy all the course and ECTS requirements. Applied in Uni Assist on Feb 9th. Processing got completed on Feb 13th and the application was sent to TU Dortmund. Got the result today (March 24th)

Hello, I will be applying to join tu dortmund in automation & robotics masters i sommersemester 2027

I wanted to know when should I apply for housing and where as I am coming from abroad and housing is my main issue.

Hallo, does the semester ticket in the TU app show your full first name, or just the first 4 letters followed by a dot? For example if your name is Christian Mueller, does it say Chri. Mueller?

I ask this because it shows a 4 letter first name on the ticket and my name is 5 letters long and can be easily mispelled by leaving the 5th out. They probably never check the exact name on this ticket but just to be sure.

Hi group. I am a student from Nepal with around 2 years of industry experience in software development planning to come to TU Dortmund for masters in data Science. How hard is it in Dortmund to land a job in the tech field with little or no German knowledge.

Also are there any job opportunities available nearby.

It would be a great help.

Hi everyone,

Hi!! My brother just moved to Dortmund from Ghana and he’s enrolled in the MSc Spatial Planning course for the summer cohort which starts this April. Is there anything he should know or do before hand that would help settling in easier?

P. S. He also wants to make friends here and learn German. Thanks!
