University of Europe for Applied Sciences

Some universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen) like the University of Europe for Applied Sciences may require a B2 level, especially for English-taught programs, but in some cases, they might offer conditional admission with a B1 level (contingent on completing a language course). However, since each program and university has its specific language requirements, it's always best to check the official page of the program you're interested in.

Processing times for German visa applications (especially student visas) can vary depending on the workload of the consulate or iData office. Waiting a month or even longer can be considered normal. You can track your visa application online or try contacting the consulate/iData after a certain period to inquire about its status.

iData offices usually have security checks, and whether you can bring your phone inside depends on the office's specific rules. In most cases, there are lockers where you can store personal belongings (including your phone), or phones are not allowed in the interview area. It's recommended to check iData's website for security rules before your appointment.

The AT11 document is an agreement that allows you to benefit from healthcare services in Germany through your social security institution in Turkey. When asked for your health insurance company during a residence permit application, stating 'AT11' or 'covered by an agreement with the Turkish Social Security Institution (SGK)' is usually sufficient. However, for a long-term residence permit, you might need to get valid student health insurance (statutory or private) in Germany. It would be beneficial to consult with the foreigners' office (Ausländerbehörde) on this matter.

For the departure date on the visa application form, you should write the date you plan to first enter Germany. This date should align with your insurance start date, as your visa will generally be valid from your insurance start date. Your travel health insurance should start at least a few days before or on the day you plan to enter Germany.

Uni-Assist uses its own specific formulas and evaluation criteria when converting GPAs to the German grading system. These formulas can differ from grading systems in Turkey or other countries. Additionally, the weighting of certain courses, your university's grading system, or Uni-Assist's own rounding policies might also cause discrepancies. For the most accurate information, it's recommended to review Uni-Assist's official grade conversion guide or contact them directly.
