r/UniBonn

Hi there, I would like to introduce myself as a starter. I am an aerospace engineer ( I studied in the UK my age is around 23 ), along my journey I discovered my real passion which is abstract mathematics as first place and then some areas in theoretical physics.

It's hard to master mathematics alone there are plenty of topics, books, exams questions that I want to really understand deeply and that's why I decided to apply to either Bonn or LMU as 2nd bachelor.

I am still thinking which one should I apply for?

Bonn is the best in mathematics and that's Great but there are two problems, first thing, it has a mandatory program in algorithms which is fine but not something I want to look for as a mandatory. But 2nd, I have heard it is not the best for physics.

In terms of LMU it is really good in abstract mathematics but not as good as Bonn. However, on the other hand, it has a great theoretical physics program as a minor and also it has the TMP elite program for master.

I am really confused which one I should go for and I am posting my issue here hoping someone can help me exactly to know which one I should choose

Kind regards

Hi, I learnt that sometimes the status of the application does not change from "received" to "in progress". I was going crazy because they were not even checking my application, but yeah this is the case apparently. Anyways, I still haven't heard back but would appreciate if anybody hears back?

I received my rejection for my application yesterday saying that, it does not meet program specific entry requirements for this degree program, but I'm pretty sure I did and cover every requirement aspect

My profile

B.tech AIML(INDIA) - which perfectly covers the credits mentioned( 7.76)

IELTS - 7

idk what would have gone wrong, is there anything I could do for re-evaluating my application

1. Even I tried to send mail explaining the situation, but no response I got.

What should I do now?

Hi everyone,

I am an incoming Master's student (Mobile Robotics) at Uni Bonn this winter and I'm looking for active groups or servers to connect with other students.

I tried joining the Discord server linked in the sidebar of this subreddit, but the invite has expired. If anyone has updated links for Discord, WhatsApp, or Telegram, please let me know.

Thanks!

I applied for Mobile Robotics (MR) on 20th Apr for winter 2026 intake, did anyone got the Admit?

Hello! Just wanted to reach out to those who got admitted to the M.Sc. Physics programme at Uni of Bonn. Maybe connect with each other before we go there.

Hi, I recently got accepted into the msc geodetic engineering course, I was wondering, how and where am I supposed to apply for a student dorm? How easy are they to get into? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I applied to the Life Science Informatics MSc program and my application status is still showing as “received” in the portal.

I recently emailed Alexandra and was told that, the results are expected around mid-May.
However, since there has been no status update at all on my portal yet, I was wondering if other applicants are in the same situation.

Has anyone seen any changes in their application status so far (e.g. in progress, etc.), or is everyone still on “received”?

Thanks!

It's been almost six week since my application and my status is still on received. Has anyone heard of them?

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing good. I just got admitted to the University of Bonn for a MSc in Economics for the Winter'26 intake. The matter is that if I were to accept this offer and come to Germany, I would also like to seek relevant employment for a few years in Germany, before leaving back to my home country. So I just wanted to get your views on how the German job market is for someone with an Economics background, up until a MSc? Do y'all think there's a good chance I can find a job in Germany after my studies, if I have attained a merit or a distinction in my MSc? Or do y'all think its hard to find one in the field of Economics,even if I get good results?

Thanks in advance for your opinions, best regards!

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has received an official confirmation email from BCGS yet.

I had my interview on March 24 and received an acceptance email on March 27 saying that I had been selected (with scholarship) and that they would get back to me as soon as possible after Easter. However, I have not received any further update yet.

When I followed up, they mentioned that there was a delay due to an administrative change/process, and that they would get back to me as soon as possible.

Has anyone else received a similar email or is in the same situation? Also, has anyone already received the official full offer letter with the scholarship details mentioned?

To those who took the exam on April 30th, has anyone got any response yet?

Hello everyone!

I just got a DAAD scholarship, but now I’m afraid of not getting accepted into the program of Plant Sciences in Bonn University.
In your opinion, is it hard to get in?
I also applied to Molecular Plant Sciences in Hamburg University.

I’m worried mainly because my Bachelor’s is Agronomical Engineering with specialization in Plant Science. And my GPA is 89/100 (1.8-1.9 German scale). :(

Thank you very much for your help! 🙏🏼
