LIVING CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
Germany is a highly sought-after country for Turkish citizens who want to study or work abroad. Although it is expensive compared to countries such as Poland and Czechia, it is more affordable next to countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland or Switzerland. However, it should be remembered that considerable price differences can be seen between cities in Germany. For example, Munich, Berlin and Stuttgart are the cities with the highest cost of living. To examine in more detail, we can compare rental costs in three different cities. While the rent for a one-person flat in Stuttgart and Berlin is approximately 700-800 Euro, in Bremen this price can be approximately 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 the fee can vary between 100 and 300 Euro. In general, when food, housing, bills, clothing and entertainment costs are taken into account, Germany holds an average position among European Union countries. Calculated on average, food and drink costs are at least 200 €, extra expenses such as internet and TV are 220 €, and student housing rent can 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 within the university campus. In addition, students can rent an apartment or a room at affordable prices near the university.
For individuals who want to stay in a dormitory, the situation varies depending on whether it is a private dormitory or a state dormitory, and also on whether it is a big city or a small city. In Germany, state dormitories average around 250-350 Euro per month, while private dormitories, being more comfortable and modern, can reach 400-500 Euro. In big cities, private dormitory rents or, for those who prefer, room rents can start from 500 Euro and go up to 700 Euro.

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 Türkiye, they must be approved by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and an equivalence certificate must be issued.
Basically, what is meant is that the compulsory courses you have taken during your education and their contents are required to be compatible with the compulsory courses, content and intensity of the same department in Türkiye. If there is this compatibility and conformity, equivalence is granted to your diploma. If there is no such compatibility, you may be asked to take the courses deemed missing at a university in Türkiye or to take an equivalence exam. If you get 50 out of 100 points in the equivalence exam, equivalence is granted to your diploma.
