Course Curriculum

The total number of credits required to graduate is 120 credits. However, I must say that education and especially exams in Germany are a bit different and a bit tough as compared to India. Students in the informatics department atleast take 1~2 extra semesters to complete their master's since getting 120 credits in 4 semesters is quite tough. The professors are of course world-class. Education is top-notch. Lots of assignments that enable practical learning. The course curriculum is designed in such a way that students get theoretical as well as practical (research-based or industrial based) experience. As for the Faculty Student Ratio, I am not entirely aware of it, but as far as the classes are concerned, the teachers and PhD students will answer any question you have. They organize special exercise classes where you can discuss assignments or your doubts. But getting hold of professors outside the lectures is something of a feat in itself since the Profs are very busy.

Fees

The program has tuition fees of around 150 euros per semester or 300 euros per year approx which is quite nominal. These are some perks of studying at a German Public University. The real challenge is the living expenses. Munich or Germany for that matter is expensive to live and if you do not get any scholarship then you would have to open a blocked account with 10,000 euros per year. This account is also required for student visa applications and Residence Permit applications in Germany. Most students take loans from banks in India but apart from that take part-time jobs from software developers to delivery boys (there is a minimum wage per hour concept in Germany) so the pay is quite good and lots of students manage their expenses (and leisure activities ;)) using that money.
