Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)

If you've received master's admission in Germany but plan to start with a language school, you typically need to apply for a 'language course followed by university studies' visa. You should apply to the German Consulate with your admission letter (Zulassungsbescheid), language school enrollment certificate, proof of financial means like a blocked account (Sperrkonto), and other standard visa documents. It's important to clearly state your visa type during the application and prove that your language school is affiliated with the university.

Yes, there are several student accommodation options available in Bielefeld. The most popular choices are student dormitories (Studentenwohnheime) and shared apartments (Wohngemeinschaften - WG). For student dorms, you can check the Studierendenwerk Bielefeld website and apply early. You can find WG listings on platforms like WG-Gesucht.de. Private rented apartments are also an option but are generally more expensive.

There are various scholarship opportunities for Turkish students in Germany. The most well-known are the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) scholarships. Additionally, scholarships from political foundations (e.g., Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung), university-specific scholarships, and private organization scholarships are available. Since private universities like FHM usually have tuition fees, scholarships play a significant role in covering these costs. Applications are generally evaluated based on academic achievement, social engagement, and sometimes financial need. Each scholarship program has its own application requirements and deadlines, so thorough research is essential.

In Germany, there isn't a direct state-supported student loan system for Turkish students similar to what you might find in Turkey. However, state support like BAföG, intended for German students, is generally not applicable or very limited for international students. The most common sources of financial support for international students are scholarships and part-time jobs. You'll need to prove your financial solvency during your visa application using a blocked account (Sperrkonto).

Generally, it's difficult to receive direct government scholarships or financial support from the German state solely while attending a language course. Most scholarship programs are aimed at full-time students enrolled in a university. However, there might be some specific language course scholarships or support offered by DAAD for certain language programs. To explore such opportunities, it would be beneficial to check the DAAD website and the scholarship options provided by the language schools themselves.

If a university or program doesn't show up as 'H+' or 'H-' in the Anabin database, it doesn't necessarily mean no one from that university has ever applied for recognition. Anabin is a database managed by the KMK (Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs), Germany's central office for foreign education recognition. Information is updated, but immediate detailed information might not be available for every university or program. What's important is that the university is officially recognized in its home country and meets Germany's recognition criteria. To avoid issues during the recognition process, the safest approach is to contact the relevant German authorities (e.g., ZAB - Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen) for information before you submit your application.
