- Good Environment in Town area. Located near Berlin capital of Germany.
- I liked the atmosphere, nearby silence and opportunities. You can take practical courses at HPI.
Dislikes
- Could be more practical oriented a bit.
Placement
No placement students need to find jobs themselves either as TA, part time as working student and finance their living and overtime that can be converted to full time opportunities. Or you complete masters and get a job based on your profile which you develop by internships and personal projects.
It was good.
Likes
- I didn't choose. I was applying blindly to every university in europe. I got selected here and took it.
- "University sports. nice offices Research equipments and wide variety of course options. You also get regular consultaion for future career, mental health, work life, visa issues, etc"
Dislikes
- It would be really hard to think of something that i dislike. May be the administration can be less diplomatic.
- There is lot of paper work and they take long to reimburse your business trip expenses
Placement
After PhD its easy to get a job through the collaborations. So I would say placement is 100 percent.
The working culture here is super relaxed. Saturday and sundays are completly work free. Proffessors and group leader are also very cooperative. I feel very much comfortable in implimenting my own ideas in to research which I find best part of me being here.
Likes
- They have the best computational modeling research group in area (Psycholinguistics) and I wanted to learn modeling in my PhD. I also got PhD offers from UC San Diego, University of Southern Carolina, and interview call for Max Planck. But I chose Potsdam over them because I knew what exactly I wanted to learn during my PhD and other factors did not matter to me.
- Fewer evaluations during PhD, research freedom, research facilities, work culture, peer group, location, German culture, access to travel in Europe, Berlin nightlife
Dislikes
- No cafeteria, too much bureaucracy
Placement
90% students from the group gets placed in academia or industry. I don't know much about their salaries.
The German universities have very different academic system compared to US and India. Their academic institutions are decentralized in decision making, research, and teaching. That means, only your advisor is responsible for your PhD with zero interference from the department and the institute. Teaching also goes like that. The department rarely decides on something regarding your research evaluation. It gives you a lot of research freedom and lesser stress. The work culture is also really cool. It is a norm that you don't work beyond work hours and on the weekends. The professors respect students in the same way as they respect their colleagues. Plus, German culture has a lot to teach Indian students, e.g., respecting other's time, discipline, work integrity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for me.
