Hi guys,
I recently got acceptance letters from Technical University Berlin and Humboldt University of Berlin. But I can't seem to decide on which one to choose. Both has pros and cons for me but I would really appreciate more feedbacks and point of views about this topic.
#Master Universities in Germany

Hi guys,
I recently got acceptance letters from Technical University Berlin and ...
Program?
final pivot
management information systems for TUB and information systems for HUB. both the same programs but the clases differ ofc. I looked up for the classes and TUB looked more interesting but I might be mistaken on how it looks just from the websites
velvet geode
what was your bsc
final pivot
business informatics same program as masters
final pivot
yes thats true
velvet geode
Focus on your studies and learn german on the side
If you fail it, it doesn't matter how good or bad your german is, since you won't get a job here as a drop out
final pivot
that is what I am aiming for, but which uni should I choose?
is there like a comparison there
like uni matters?
velvet geode
Uni doesn't matter as long as it's a public one
final pivot
what is your advice or what would you do if you were in between?
velvet geode
Information Systems Management (Wirtschaftsinformatik), M.Sc.
Completly in english
If it's german it's simply unnecessary harder and your grades will drop because of it
final pivot
both of them are english
HUB also said the aussprache is english
do you have an idea what the schools are like?
velvet geode
Technical University Berlin should be easier
final pivot
but when it comes to ranking HUB is better. don't you think this is also a plus?
velvet geode
No
Whatever ranking you read, it's bullshit
There is not a single german who gives a damn about university rankings
final pivot
TUB looked like it can guide me through my studies for a better career. HUB on the other hand looked harder, even as like reaching to the professors

German universitys are different from UK or USA universitys. In general the latters are easier and the roadblock is the tuition fee. In germany the tuition fee isn't the issue, it's the grade requirements like in medicine, psychology etc. Once you are enrolled it's simply a survival of the fittest and many, many drop out. Most people simply choose the closest univeristy for convenience and once they graduate their grades and the experience they might have acquired and skills (language) are what matters
Not the university
final pivot
hmm
since I don't know what to do as a career yet, do you think TUB would guide me better?
final pivot
so you say I should go for the easier one?
velvet geode
At the end only your degree and your german will matter to get a foothold into the german jobmarket
Nothing else

Specialised universitys are oftentimes easier than universites with much broader offerings of subjects
But of course many will disagree with that
University rankings are only for people who want to go into research or whatever academic career
final pivot
you are right
so I should choose based on what kind of lectures they are offering?
or what I want to do as a career, not academically
velvet geode
If you simply want to get a degree and want to work it barely matters
The truth is, you don't go to university to get some special skills for some job you don't even know you will be doing
You go to univeristy to show that you can understand more complex topics and learn them. Most people in STEM will not need 95%+o of the stuff they learned in universtity
And even outside it's true. Linguistic people are probably some of the few who might need what they learn ... but even there it's uncertain

so whadya think ? HUB or TUB ? didn't get it frankly
