Cottbus (German) or Chosebuz (Sorbian) is a the second largest city in the state of Brandenburg and located to the south-east of Berlin or Brandenburg state and is a hometown to a technical university i.e. Brandenburg University of technology which makes it a very happening place as there are lots of young international students one can see roaming around the campus and the city. I’m one of the students studying at the University and I really enjoy studying at this campus. The University has two campuses, i.e. one is in Cottbus and the other one is in Seftenberg which is 30-40 minutes far away from Cottbus via Train. The Campus is very modern, spacious, and everything is in very close proximity considering transportation, markets, and other leisure activities.
The above photograph is our main campus administration building (Hauptgebäude) where the new students can be easily seen hanging around or asking questions. The space in front of the building is used by the concerts or fest or parties during the semester. This is the place where the Job Messe or Job fair happens as well. The BTU library is very famous and modern architecture in the city and is built by the famous architect Herzog & de Meuron (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzog_%26_de_Meuron) who also created the famous NEST Stadium in Beijing.
Hello! I’m Daniela from Colombia. I was granted the Erasmus mundus scholarship and I’m going to Cottbus in September. The thing is I don’t know the German language. Do you think is possible just with English ?
Hey Daniela, Thank you for the message. I would say the day to day errands would be a little difficult to run. Since most people in Cottbus speak german for instance at the grocery stores, Banks, etc. Try to learn a few words and sentences before you come as it will certainly help you in running tasks. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Regards Abhishek

Hi Mesfin, Thank you for your enquiry. If you have already studied for several years in your home country (at least one or two years depending on the country of origin), it may often be possible for you to be admitted directly to higher education in Germany. The same is true after completing a degree abroad. However, not every foreign degree automatically qualifies you for an admission to continue your studies. Bachelor's degrees obtained abroad are sometimes only recognised as an intermediate examination. Before you apply for a postgraduate programme, you may need to take part in a placement process in the respective degree course. You can find more information and the DAAD database on admission requirements at: <a href="http://www.daad.de/admission-requirements" rel="nofollow ugc">www.daad.de/admission-requirements </a> Ensure you contact the International Office at the German university you wish to apply to in good time. Please clarify the issue of admission to higher education with the International Office and establish how the examination results obtained at your home university will be credited. The postal, e-mail and Internet addresses of the International Offices at all German universities can be found here: www.daad.de/io Best regards, your Study in Germany Team
