Things to Consider

• Private university status: SRH is a private institution (tuition-fee funded), which means costs are higher than most public German universities. Many students compare public engineering programmes (often tuition-free) before applying. This is purely informational and should be part of your research.
• Industry perception: Different employers have varying views on private degrees — strong technical skills, internships and German language ability can greatly improve employability.
