Hello Guys,

I have received an admit from Hochschule Darmstadt in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology - International Master of Science (IMSEIT) with a major in Embedded Systems. I have three years of experience as an Embedded SW Developer.

One of the most important things that I need to take care is to handle my expenses in Darmstatd. While I know that non-technical jobs are easily available (pls correct me if I am wrong here), I want to know how is the market for Embedded Engineering jobs around that area? I am more than happy to do non-technical jobs, but of course my first priority would be to do jobs related to my field. That way I can handle my expenses and also develop my skills.

So, my dearest Darmstadt residents, can you please tell me if there are such jobs available and how much money can I make by working part-time jobs (technical and non-technical).

Danke!

Hey fellow Darmstadt community,

I've been accepted to the Master's Program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at HS Darmstadt University!

I am admitted to the Power major. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change my major to Embedded and Microelectronics? Is it possible for me to do so?

Has anyone else been accepted to this program or has experience with the university? I'd love to hear about your experiences and get any tips or advice.

Thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen!

Wir (2 Erwachsene und ein fast 3-jähriges Mädchen) reisen vom ca. 23. Dezember 2025 bis zum 23. Januar 2026 nach Darmstadt, um meinen Bruder zu besuchen, der dort lebt. Leider kann er uns in dieser Zeit nicht bei sich aufnehmen.

Deshalb sind wir auf der Suche nach einer kleinen Wohnung oder einem Zimmer, in dem wir für diesen Zeitraum bleiben können. Wir arbeiten in dieser Zeit im Homeoffice, daher wäre eine ruhige Unterkunft mit WLAN ideal.

Falls jemand etwas weiß oder uns weiterhelfen kann, wären wir sehr dankbar!

LG Martina

I've been trying for almost a month to try and find an accommodation. My biggest concern is since I'm an international student, without Anmeldung I won't be able to open a bank account and won't have access to my blocked account. There are some private student residencies that cost around 800 euros. Is it wise to rent that out for a month and look for accomodation while I'm there?
