In summary, Sid is applying to the International Physics Study Program at the University of Leipzig and is concerned about the quality of the program and the university's rankings. He has spoken to a few people who have attended the program and found it to be difficult. He also read that there is a lot of maths in the first two years and that the responsibility for one's studies is entirely up to the student.

I believe, application process should be done within May 1 for the higher chances of acceptance. If you happen to be from the Subcontinent, then good luck with the visa application. I believe there is a long waiting list for visa appointments in IND, BGD, and PAK for prospective bachelor students.

Hi, guys. I want to apply to this program ( bachelor ) next year and I want to start early. But 10.000 euros ( when we get visa ) are a lot for my country. I'm from Azerbaijan and average earning here is 250 euros/month. Do you know some type of scholarships that I can apply for covering this exprenses?

Check daad.de/en for scholarship information.

There is a scholarship called "Deutsche stipendum". Do a quick google search on it. As far as I know, you have to be enrolled at a state or state-recognized university to be eligible for this stipend.

Don't mind me asking, are you going to apply for WiSe-2022?

I've already researched DAAD. It doesn't give scholarships for bachelor degree for my country. Only masters and above. I don't have enough research about Deutsche stipendum, so I'll check that. Thank you very much for information. And yes, I'll apply for WiSe-2022. At least I'm intending do, hopefully.

I think you will find funding opportunities at daad website , and there are many scholarship for all nations including bachelor , and i am hoping there is scholarship for your nations too.

If you apply and get accepted for starting with the 3rd semester in IPSP Bachelors program and then by the time you enroll, if you complete further studies back in your home university, will Leipzig consider you to enroll directly into the 5th semester instead? Or are the rules too hard and fast like you have to enroll in exactly the semester you applied for?

They are quite strict with acknowledging previous studies. If you have finished the 5th semester at a foreign uni, the 3rd semester could be an option, but definitely not the 5th, as you would only have one year left. But in most cases, the board of examiners do not expedite your studies if you have already completed even the same courses, as the topics in Leipzig are covered more in-depth than in other countries.

Sorry for replying late. Sure, we have a talk. In fact I've been looking for others who are interested in this program as well. Do you know any social group we can join where there are other international students planning on applying for the winter semester 2023?

Maybe some here, from some time back, obviously if they're still around, can help others by following up on how things went for them?
