This entirely depends on your personal goals and career expectations. A Master's degree typically offers more theoretical and academic depth, while an Ausbildung (vocational training) provides a more practical and quicker entry into the professional world. In Germany, it's legally possible to work a certain number of hours while pursuing both a Master's or an Ausbildung. However, especially during a Master's, your German language level (usually C1) and course load will affect your capacity to work. If you need to work to support yourself, an Ausbildung might offer less academic pressure and a more consistent income potential, but you should consider your long-term career goals.

For university education in Germany, you typically apply for student visas under the 'National Visa' category. If you have full admission, visas like 16f or 17f (formerly 41f) might apply. If you have conditional admission and plan to attend a language course in Germany, you might need a language course visa (16d or formerly 36f) or a university applicant visa (16b or formerly 40f). Language proficiency is critically important for your visa application. Consulates generally require at least a B1 level of German, though in some cases, an A2 level might be accepted. However, for successful studies and daily life in Germany, reaching at least a B2 level is strongly recommended.

There are several options for opening a blocked account (Sperrkonto) in Germany. Online providers like Fintiba and Coracle are popular among international students because their application processes are generally faster and easier. Among traditional banks, Deutsche Bank also offers this service, but processing times can be longer. Before opening an account, it's important to compare current conditions, fees, and processing times. Remember that you can withdraw a specific portion of the money from your blocked account each month.

Public universities in Germany generally do not charge tuition fees (some states may charge fees for exceptional cases or specific master's programs). However, language courses usually come with a fee. Applying to university in Germany after attending a language course does not require an additional 'application fee' beyond any standard university application fees. If you have received conditional admission (bedingte Zulassung), you can continue attending a language course in Germany until you reach the language level specified by your university, and then enroll. Some universities might even offer their own language courses for students with conditional admission.

All companies operating in Germany, regardless of their nationality, are subject to German Labor Laws (Arbeitsrecht). These laws regulate working hours, overtime pay, holiday entitlements, and all other working conditions in detail. Therefore, Turkish companies in Germany must also comply with these laws. In case of any violation, employees have the right to seek their legal rights and apply to relevant institutions (labor court, trade union, etc.). It's important to read your employment contract carefully and know your rights.
