Freie Universitat Berlin
An eleven-year certificate is not a German university entrance qualification. The route is a Studienkolleg year ending in the Feststellungsprüfung, or one to two completed years at a recognised university at home, checked against the anabin database. Nearly every bachelor's is taught in German and needs DSH-2 or TestDaF 4; English-taught bachelor's are the exception and English-taught master's the rule. Whether a non-EU tuition fee applies is set by the federal state and is confirmed on the programme page before you commit; every student pays a semester contribution.

Medium chanceStudienkolleg year + exam required
An 11-year certificate generally requires a Studienkolleg year plus the Feststellungsprüfung exam (or 1–2 completed years of university at home). Nearly all Bachelor's degrees are taught in German (C1 level needed); tuition is free or low at public universities.
Chance bands and pathway notes are indicative, based on published acceptance data and country rules as of July 2026, not a promise. Your grades, exams, English and timing decide the real outcome; we check your exact case with you.
Funding options
Scholarships and sponsorships that can fund your studies here, based on your citizenship.
Freie Universitat Berlin's own funding
Decided by the university, usually alongside your admission.
We have not yet recorded Freie Universitat Berlin’s own aid policy for international students at this level — so we are not going to guess at one. Ask us and we will read their financial-aid pages with you before you build a plan around it. Many universities at this rank do award their own merit money; that is a general truth, not a fact about Freie Universitat Berlin.

Funding from the destination
Government scholarships for studying in this country.
Not a scholarship but structurally better than most: public universities in 15 of Germany's 16 states charge no tuition to international students, leaving only a semester contribution of roughly EUR 150-400 which usually includes a public transport pass. Over 200 bachelor programmes are taught in English. Students may work up to 140 full days a year, and Germany's post-study job market is the strongest argument in Europe for anyone whose real goal is to study and then work.
Window Winter semester applications typically close in July; summer semester in January
Germany's national exchange service funds Master's and doctoral study, with development-related EPOS programmes particularly open to Central Asian applicants. Note that German public universities charge little or no tuition even without a scholarship.

Still a target — not an open door yet
We hold no agreement with Freie Universitat Berlin, so we cannot submit an application for you, and we will not pretend otherwise. That is a fact about us, not about your chances. Two things we can do today: prepare your own direct application with you, and put Freie Universitat Berlin on the list of universities we are working to open. Tell us it is your target and we will tell you the day it changes.
