It is almost Mid-June now and that means I have to choose a couple of universities now to apply for the desired Computer Science (BA/M) program of study. I assured myself numerous times during the last month, that most universities require to send in your papers not before July 15. Today I did a closer evaluation of possible universities. Of course I’ll try to get a place in Hamburg, which is not so certain anyway. Other interesting universities are – according to ranking from Spiegel and Zeit – Saarbrücken and Karlsruhe. Both of them have a much better ranking (based on Informatik of course) than Hamburg. And – even better – both of them did not establish restriction of entry this year. I zealously cite from the Uni Karlsruhe website:
Alle Bewerber werden zugelassen.
Still, Hamburg has got the home bonus. Funding will not be a problem over here. However, I do now have almost fully proved fall-back scenarios, if so required.
