Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Highly recommend"
This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city — most coursework is in English even though day-to-day German is everywhere. Overall, if you're considering Computational Engineering (CompEng) at Universität Bochum, I'd say go for it.
"Would do it again"
Honestly, one of the best decisions I've made. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — beer gardens, public parks and cycling make for a great quality of life. Overall, if you're considering Computational Engineering (CompEng) at Universität Bochum, I'd say go for it.
"Mixed but mostly good"
Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city — cost of living is low and semester tickets cover regional transport. Overall, if you're considering Computational Engineering (CompEng) at Universität Bochum, I'd say go for it.
