Hi all.

I have just completed my bachelors degree from an Indian University. I am an Indian citizen. I want to do a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering(Control Systems most probably) from abroad in a year or two. I searched on Internet to find the top universities in the world and found out that most of those are US Universities. I have some doubts in my mind about my future and i need help from you guys.

As I am from a middle class Indian family I cannot afford to study in US University as they charge extremely high fees. There were some German Universities in list as well that caught my attention. I found out that the cost of studying in Germany is very less(less one tenth of that of US as there is no tuition fees there).

As i know that doing Masters from is US is considered very good and it is much hyped here in Indian colleges. Most of my classmates are preparing for US universities.

But what about Masters is Germany?
How good it is compared to US?
What is the admission procedure?
Do i need to learn German to study there?
What the good colleges for Electrical Engineering in Germany?
What is the approximate cost of doing masters degree including living expenses?

PS: If anyone from Germany could answer these it would be great.
Thank You in advance.

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
