Darshan Shah - 0 Km to Heidelberg
Yana Immis
Mr. Darshan Shah started his Master of Science (Applied Computer Science) program at SRH Hochschule in Heidelberg in March 2020.
His visa was approved, but the documents were returned back to him from the embassy due to COVID19. In August 2020, the embassy asked him to come back to get his visa stamped and since the 1st of September, he has been happily ever after studying in Germany! I met him in Heidelberg in September and I was happy to know he had met new friends, safely stayed in the dorm during quarantine with his roommate, and is studying hard!
I wish him the best of luck with his studies and ask him a few questions!

In November 2019 I had applied for summer intake 2020 in SRH Hochschule Heidelberg, course of Applied Computer Science with the guidance of Yana Immis. Due to this corona pandemic, I was studying online from India.
2. Why did you choose SRH Hochschule Heidelberg?
SRH Hochschule, Heidelberg would not only provide me with the best theoretical knowledge through the astute faculties but would also help me gain the practical aspects of the same. To enhance my interest and help me to gain a better knowledge of Computer Science. I conceive that SRH will be best for my career development. Keeping in view my background and career plans. I would prefer to work in the IT sector. This would provide me with a superior prospect to pursue my interest to the fullest.
3. Why did you choose Germany out of so many options to study abroad?
The main motive to choose Germany for my master's program is that German degrees are highly respected by employers worldwide and Germany has a first-rate education system with high standards and global recognition. German culture is diverse and vibrant. Apart from that, I think global exposure in today’s time is a pre-requisite for career development.
