Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Would do it again"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — cost of living is low and semester tickets cover regional transport. Overall, if you're considering Ecosystem Sciences (BSc) at University of Göttingen, I'd say go for it.
"Good but not perfect"
Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city — cost of living is low and semester tickets cover regional transport. Overall, if you're considering Ecosystem Sciences (BSc) at University of Göttingen, I'd say go for it.
"Good but not perfect"
There's a lot to love, but it's not without its flaws. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city — beer gardens, public parks and cycling make for a great quality of life. Overall, if you're considering Ecosystem Sciences (BSc) at University of Göttingen, I'd say go for it.
"Solid, with caveats"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — most coursework is in English even though day-to-day German is everywhere. Overall, if you're considering Ecosystem Sciences (BSc) at University of Göttingen, I'd say go for it.
