Studienkolleg

Do you need a Studienkolleg from Türkiye?

Whether you need a Studienkolleg depends on the exact certificate you hold, not just on your country. In Türkiye, the answer changes with the type of certificate, your marks, your stream and whether you have already studied at a university.

Below is every case the DAAD admission database lists for your country, grouped by certificate. Find yours, then read what the result means for you.

Direct access, some subjects: You can apply to German universities directly, but only for certain subjects. For any other subject you would need a Studienkolleg first.
Studienkolleg, any course: You first attend a Studienkolleg (or sit the Feststellungsprüfung) and can choose any course: T, M, W or G. Passing it gives you access to university.
