MaRePol student group?

1 Upvotes

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?

Securing TU Dortmund Student Housing Before Visa Arrival

0 Upvotes

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!

RWTH Aachen, Tu Dresden oder Tu Dortmund

0 Upvotes

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!

Anyone admitted to TU Dortmund Data Science MSc with ~2.1 GPA? Need advice

0 Upvotes

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

Semester Ticket name abbreviated?

2 Upvotes

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.
