Public vs Private Universities in Germany :Which one to Choose?

I would always go for the public universtity, they usually rank higher and they cost less. I do not know any private university in the engineering field in Germany that ranks high.

Are you a aerospace engineering? I need more infos in this field!

I am not an aerospace engineer. I am a mechanical engineer, but the aerospace engineering is usually a specialization within the mechanical engineering faculty. Usually, you study mechanical engineering and in your second year you choose a specialization, e.g. aerospace, manufacturing, energy, etc.

If you need more infos, I would suggest you to just write to / call the internationall office of the university you are interested in. They will be able to answer all of your questions.

It is hard to say wheteher they give priority to Germans, since there are many more Germans applying for places at these universities. From my experience, they are quite fair when selecting candidates. I know many foreigners who got a place at good German universities despite not having the best marks.

What you can also look at are international programmes at the public universities. These are programmes for students who do not speak German and are usually more expensive, e.g. there was one at the RWTH Aachen for Automotive students a couple of years ago, held in English, which cost around 3-4 thousand Euro pro year - still cheaper than in the UK. Since these are paid programmes, it seems to be easier to get in. That is just my assumtion since I did not do it.
