Hi everyone,

I applied for the M.Sc. in Computer Science for the upcoming winter semester, but I still haven’t received any updates or admission decision.

Is anyone else in the same situation? Have people already started receiving decisions, or is it still normal to be waiting?

I’d also appreciate hearing from anyone who applied in previous years—when did you receive your decision, and what should I realistically expect at this point?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have a question for current students or graduates of Saarland University.

I am planning to pursue a Master’s degree at Saarland University, but I would also like to keep my current remote job to support myself financially during my studies. My working hours are roughly 9:00–18:00 CEST, so I am trying to understand how realistic it would be to balance both commitments.

I have a few questions:

• Is attendance mandatory for most Master’s courses, or does it depend on the professor/course?
• Are there evening classes, recorded lectures, or other flexible learning options available?
• How many hours per week do students typically spend attending lectures, tutorials, and labs?
• For those who have worked alongside their studies, how manageable was the workload?
• Is it realistic to prepare for exams, complete assignments, and keep up with coursework while maintaining a full-time remote job?

My long-term goal is to complete the Master’s while gaining professional experience, but I want to be realistic about the workload and expectations before making a decision.

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you may have.

Thank you!
