FHDW Fachhochschule für die Wirtschaft Hannover

Application requirements for Master's programs at FHDW Hannover can vary by program. Generally, you'll need a relevant Bachelor's degree, a specific GPA, and German language proficiency (such as TestDaF or DSH). It's important to check the specific program pages on the university's official website for detailed information.

For scholarship applications in Germany, the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) is the most important resource. Additionally, foundations (e.g., those affiliated with political parties, church foundations) and universities' own scholarship programs are available. You can get help during the application process from platforms like AlmanyaUni or from university international offices.

Yes, like many universities in Germany, FHDW Hannover can offer conditional admission (bedingte Zulassung) in certain situations. This usually applies if your language proficiency isn't yet fully sufficient. If you receive conditional admission, you'll be expected to come to Germany and complete a language course to reach the required level within a specific timeframe. The conditions are determined by the university's admissions office.

The content of your Bachelor's degree in Turkey and the requirements of the 'Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen' program in Germany are very important. Generally, a high degree of overlap in course content is expected. The university you apply to will review course equivalencies and make a decision. While such transfers are possible, each case is assessed individually, and you might be asked to take additional courses. For the most accurate information, you should contact FHDW Hannover's student administration or the relevant faculty.

In Germany, international students have the right to work up to 140 working days a year (Arbeitstagekonto; a day of up to 4 hours counts as half a day). Exceeding this limit could jeopardize your residence permit. You can work as a Minijobber (tax-free jobs up to 603 Euros per month (2026)) or a Werkstudent (student assistant). Working conditions and wages are subject to German labor law, and all employers (including Turkish companies) must adhere to these rules. Overtime wages must also be paid according to the law.

After entering Germany, it is mandatory to complete your 'Anmeldung' (registration of residence) at the Bürgeramt (Citizen's Office) or Rathaus (City Hall) of your city of residence within 14 days. For this process, you'll need your passport, visa, rental agreement, and a completed 'Anmeldeformular' form. Booking an appointment is usually required, and in larger cities like Hannover, appointments can fill up quickly. This registration is fundamental for other bureaucratic processes like opening a bank account or getting health insurance.
