LIVING CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
Germany is a highly sought-after country for Turkish citizens who want to study or work abroad. Although Germany is expensive compared with countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic, it is more affordable than countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland or Switzerland. However, it should be remembered that there can be considerable price differences between cities in Germany. For example, Munich, Berlin and Stuttgart are the cities with the highest cost of living. Looking in more detail, we can compare rent costs in three different cities. While the rent for a one-person apartment in Stuttgart and Berlin is around 700-800 Euro, in Bremen this price can be around 500 Euro. Bachelor’s and Master’s education in Germany can be considered free of charge, apart from the tuition contribution fee. The tuition contribution fee is a charge paid every semester that students continue their education, and it can vary between 100 and 300 Euro. Overall, when food, housing, bills, clothing and entertainment costs are taken into account, Germany holds an average position among European Union countries. Calculated on average, the cost of food and drink may be at least 200 €, extra expenses such as internet and TV 220 €, and the rent for a student apartment may vary between 300 and 700 € per month. Germany currently ranks fifth among EU countries with hourly wages of 9.35 Euro.
ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION
Accommodation – When planning to study abroad, organizing accommodation is very important. Taking into account our students’ requests, preferences and sensitivities in this regard, we provide solutions in coordination with our partner schools. The accommodation solutions offered to students who want to study abroad are generally as follows.
ACCOMMODATION AND STUDENT DORMITORIES
Dormitory accommodation is available on the university campus. Students can also rent an apartment or a room at affordable prices near the university.
For those who want to stay in a dormitory, the situation varies depending on whether it is a private or state dormitory, and also on whether it is in a large or small city. While state dormitories in Germany average around 250-350 Euro per month, private dormitories, being more comfortable and modern, can reach 400-500 Euro. In big cities, private dormitory rents, or room rents for those who prefer them, can start from 500 Euro and go up to 700 Euro.

Recognition (YÖK Equivalence) of German Universities
ALL universities and higher education institutions in Germany have YÖK equivalence.
For diplomas obtained from higher education institutions abroad to be valid in Turkey, they must be approved by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and an equivalence certificate must be issued.
Essentially, this means that the compulsory courses and their content that you took during your education are required to be consistent with the compulsory courses, content and workload of the same department in Turkey. If this consistency and suitability exist, equivalence is granted to the diploma you received. If this consistency is lacking, you may be asked to take the courses seen as missing at a university in Turkey or to sit an equivalence exam. If you score 50 out of 100 in the equivalence exam, equivalence is granted to your diploma.
