How Is FAU Erlangen’s M.Sc. Autonomy Technologies for International Students?
Hello everyone,
I’m Aayush from India. I recently received an admission offer for the M.Sc. in Autonomy Technologies at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg for Winter Semester 2026/27, and I’m trying to understand the ground reality before making a final decision.
I would really appreciate honest insights from current students, alumni, or professionals in Erlangen/Nuremberg regarding:
• Quality and difficulty level of the program
• Reputation of the Autonomy Technologies course in Germany
• Internship and job opportunities in robotics/autonomous systems/embedded AI/computer vision after graduation
• Current job market situation for international students
• Availability and cost of housing in Erlangen/Nuremberg
• Monthly living expenses realistically
• Part-time job availability for students
• German language expectations for internships/jobs
• Overall student life and challenges Indians commonly face there
My background:
• B.E. in Electronics & Communication Engineering
• Experience in Computer Vision and Industrial Automation projects
• Interested in robotics, autonomous systems, perception and AI
I would especially appreciate practical and realistic advice — both positives and negatives — so I can make an informed decision.
Thank you!
