I'm deciding between TU Chemnitz – M.Sc. Embedded Systems and TH Augsburg – M.Sc. Electrical Engineering.

Chemnitz feels straightforward because it's a specialized Embedded Systems program, so I can clearly see the career path.

Augsburg, on the other hand, seems very broad with modules ranging from VLSI and automation to control systems, power, and communications. I'm struggling to understand what kind of engineer I'd actually become and whether the broadness is an advantage or a disadvantage when looking for jobs.

Hey everyone,

​I’m applying for the Winter '26 intake and just got accepted into Uni Siegen for Electrical Engineering.

However, I’ve also caught rejections from 4 other universities, which is making me second-guess if I have enough solid options to choose from.

I’m debating sending out late applications to DIT, FAU, and THM. Is it worth the effort (and application fees), or should I just stick with Siegen?

​1.6 German GPA, 8.0 IELTS, A1 German. Undergrad in ECE. ​

Would DIT (Electrical Engineering) or THM Mittelhessen (Control Engineering) be a better fit over Siegen ?

​FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg: I'm looking at their ICT program, but they charge a 100 Euro application fee for non-EU students. With my 1.6 GPA and profile, do I realistically stand a strong chance, or is it basically a lottery?

Please share your thoughts and experience.
