Hi now I'm doing B.E Mechanical Engineering in India. I want to become space scientist. I donno what course to pursue after B.E. And I'm planning to do it in Germany. Can anyone suggests me courses that are available in astrophysics or cosmology and the colleges in Germany offering those courses??

Maybe contact the German Aerospace folks?

Or possibly the European Space Agency?

Google is your friend. Find companies that do work with and for such agencies. Find out what they want as far as employment. Also, Google for universities that do work in the area you are interested in. Maybe you can get work with an engineering or physics department at a university that helps out on the ISS or some such.

When you say "space scientist" what do you have in mind? That could mean anything from you want to be an astronomer to you want to build satellites to you want to study motion sickness in pilots.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
