All companies in Germany, regardless of nationality, are subject to German labor laws. This applies to working hours, overtime pay, and all other employee rights. Turkish companies are also strictly required to adhere to these rules.

If your curriculum is considered outdated or some courses are found to be missing, you might receive partial recognition (Denklik). In this situation, you may need to complete the missing courses at a German university or contact the relevant institutions (e.g., ZAB) to learn about the appeal process. You can also try to prove that the supposedly missing areas are actually covered by carefully re-examining the details and course content in your transcript. Connecting with other students who have faced similar situations in forums or Telegram groups can also be helpful.

If you've received conditional admission for a Master's program in German, you typically need to apply for a visa for 'language course followed by university studies' (usually 16f or 17f, formerly 16/2). Visa types can vary by consulate, so it's important to check the latest information on the official website of the German Consulate. An A2 level is generally not sufficient for university studies; most universities require a B2 or C1 level. It's advisable to aim for a B1 level to reduce the risk of rejection. Your IELTS score is valid for English-taught programs, but for German-taught programs, German language proficiency is essential.

To open a blocked account (Sperrkonto) in Germany, online providers like Fintiba and Coracle, or traditional banks like Deutsche Bank, are commonly chosen. While online providers can make the process faster and easier, banks like Deutsche Bank have a more established history. It's recommended that you compare fees, processing times, and customer service when making your choice.

Yes, even if you have full admission, it's generally possible to contact your university, explain that your language level is insufficient, and get permission to attend an in-house or affiliated language course. Some universities allow students to participate in language courses until they reach a certain proficiency level. The best approach is to discuss this with your university's International Office.

In Germany, public universities generally do not charge tuition fees for Bachelor's and most Master's programs (though some states might charge a small tuition fee for international students, like Baden-Württemberg). However, you will need to pay a 'Semesterbeitrag' (semester contribution) each semester. This contribution covers items like student union services, public transport (Semesterticket), and administrative costs. Language courses, on the other hand, are usually subject to fees, and you'll need to pay for these courses before applying to the university.
