En İyi Alman Üniversiteleri

Almanya’da 400’den fazla üniversite var ve bunlardan 54’ü 2021 yılı listelerine göre dünya sıralamasında ilk 1000 üniversite sıralamasına giriyor. Ama okul seçerken okulların sıralamasından önce pek çok farklı kriteri dikkate almalısınız. Bana sorarsanız en önemli kriterlerin başında okuyacağınız ve dolayısı ile bu süre içerisinde yaşayacağınız şehir ve ulaşım olanakları gelmeli. Buna ek olarak seçeceğiniz okulun seçtiğiniz program konusundaki araştırma odakları eğitim kalitesi açısından fikir verecektir. Almanya’daki en tanınmış üniversitelerin bir haritasını aşağıda paylaşıyorum.

Uluslararası derecelendirme kuruluşlarının sıralamaları daha çok araştırma çıktılarının yoğunluğuna orantılıdır. Bununla birlikte Alman üniversiteleri araştırmalarını okuldan çok bağımsız araştırma enstitülerinde yürütürler. Bu nedenle Alman üniversitelerini sıralamalarda çok yukarılarda göremeyebilirsiniz. Bununla ilgili daha önce bir makale yazmıştım. Merak ederseniz onuda inceleyin. ( Alman üniversiteleri uluslararası sıralamalarda neden kötü performans gösteriyorlar )

Bu durumu açıkladıktan sonra hep savunduğum başka bir sıralama metoduna dikkat çekmek istiyorum. Reel Sektör HR yöneticilerinin Alman üniversite mezunlarına bakışları akademik çevreden farklı sıralamalar ortaya koyar. Bu sıralamalarla ilgili pek çok makale yazdım. Bu makalelere de aşağıdaki linklerden erişebilirsiniz.

Almanyada Üniversite Eğitimi

Almanya’da üniversite eğitimi oldukça ciddiye alınır ve sıkı standartlara bağlıdır. Üniversite girişlerinde herhangi bir giriş sınavı yoktur. Alman öğrencilerin diploma notları sıralamayı belirler ( abitur ). Türk öğrencilerin başvurularında ise YKS’de aldıkları puanlar sıralamayı belirleyen kriterdir. Bazı programlar sınırsız kontenjana sahiptir ( NC frei ) ve herkese kabul verir. Bu tür programlarda kabul almak kolay iken okuldan mezuniyet son derece zor olabilir. Pek çok öğrenci programların zorluğundan başvuruya bile yeltenmezler.

Üniversiteler dışında bir de Fachhochschule ya da Hochschule isminde Türkçeye “Uygulamalı bilimler Üniversitesi” olarak çevrilecek okullar vardır. Bu okulların uygulamalı dönemleri dolayısı ile farklı müfredatları vardır. Öğrenciler son yıllarını firmalarda, fabrikalarda vs. staj yaparak geçirir ve reel sektörün dinamiklerine daha aşina olurlar. Mezuniyet sonrası iş bulmaları da daha kolay olabilir. ( Bkz. Fachhochschule Nedir? )

Alman üniversitelerinde bazı programlar ise ulusal bazda kontenjanı kısıtlı programlardır ve bu programlardan kabul almak son derece zor olabilir. ( Tıp, Diş Hekimliği, Veterinerlik, Eczacılık .. )

Alman Üniversitelerinde Lisans Eğitimi Kaç Yıldır?

Almanyada lisans eğitimi 6 sömeste yani 3 yıl’dır. ( Tıp, Diş Hekimliği vb. hariç ) Fachhochschule’lerde ise uygulamalı dönemler nedeni ile 7 sömestre yani 3,5 yıl eğitim verilir. Ancak bir lisans programından kabul almanın en temel şartlarından birisi C1 düzeyinde Almanca bilgisidir. Almanca bilgisi yetersiz olan adaylar için “Şartlı Kabul” bazı üniversiteler için mevcuttur ve öğrenim süresine Almanca hazırlık süresi eklenmelidir.

Ücretsiz Alman Üniversiteleri

Almanya’da devlet üniversitelerinde eğitim için bir ücret istenmez. Sadece öğrenci birlikleri sömestre başına 60-70 Euro gibi bir üyelik ücreti ve şehrine göre değişen oranda sömestre bileti ücreti ( 70 -250 Euro ) tahsil ederler. Bu bilet ile okuduğunuz şehir ya da eyalette tüm toplu taşıma araçlarını sömestre boyunca ( 6 Ay ) ücretsiz ve sınırsız kullanım hakkınız olur.

İstisnai olarak, Baden Württemberg eyaleti yabancı öğrencilerden sömestre başına 1500 Euro ücret ister. Bu eyaletteki okullarda, öğrenci birliklerine vereceğiniz ücrete ek bu rakamı ödemek zorundasınız.

Alman Üniversiteleri YÖK Denkliği

Alman üniversitelerinin ister Üniversite, ister Fachhochschule olsun tamamına yakını YÖK akreditedir. Bu durum mezunların denklik alabilecekleri anlamına gelmektedir. Sadece bazı bölümlerde fark dersler olabilir ve sınava girmek gerekebilir. ( Bkz. Almanya üniversiteleri denklik )

YÖK yönetmeliklerinde dünya sıralamasında ilk 1000 okul içerisinde olan okul mezunlarına direkt olarak denklik verileceği yazmaktadır. Aşağıdaki harita size bu okullar hakkında kısa fikirler vermek amacı ile oluşturuldu. İşte Almanya’nın en tanınmış üniversiteleri:

Almanya Üniversite Haritası

Aşağıdaki haritada ilk 1000 içerisindeki okulların konumları, Türkiye’den ulaşım koşulları , öne çıkan program ve araştırma konuları gibi alanlarda kısa bir rehber hazırladım. Baden Württemberg eyaletinde uluslararası öğrencilerden sömestre başına 1500 Euro ücret alındığından bu eyaleti farklı bir renge boyadım. Haritadaki simgelerin üzerine tıkladığınızda kısa açıklamaları okuyabilirsiniz.

Daha önce de bahsetmiş olduğum Fachhochschule ( Uygulamalı Bilimler Üniversiteleri ) bu haritada yok ancak haritadaki konumların hemen hepsinde bu okullardan var. Fachhochschule’lerde direkt denklik olmasa da denklik konusunda sıkıntı çıkma olasılığının hemen hemen hiç olmayacağını hatırlatırım. Bu konudaki daha detaylı bilgilere ve bu okulların farklılıklarına buradan ulaşabilirsiniz.

Okullarla ilgili kendi gözlem ve deneyimlerimi paylaştığım yazılara “Okullar” menüsünden ulaşabilirsiniz.

Yukarıdaki listede sadece bir adet özel üniversite var ( Bremen Jacobs Üniversitesi ). Diğer okulların tamamı devlet üniversitesi ve Baden Württemberg eyaleti dışındakilerde yabancı öğrenci olarak ek ücret ödemiyorsunuz. Almanya’da okumak istediğiniz okulu seçerken, okulun denkliği yanında konumu ve bulunduğu şehir de bence önemli bir faktör. Özellikle büyük şehirde yaşamış biriyseniz Almanya’nın pek çok şehri size Anadolu kasabası havası verecektir.

Biz büyükşehirlerde yaşayanlar artık hemen her şeye kısa sürede ulaşmaya o kadar alışmışız ki Almanya ilk gittiğinizde okulunuzun bulunduğu şehir ya da konakladığınız semt itibari ile size köy gibi gelecektir. Bizde alıştığınız rahatlıkları orda bulamamanız, planlı yaşamak zorunda olmanız sizi ilk aşamada mutsuz edebilir. Alışmak zaman alacaktır. Ancak büyük şehirler oradaki hayata daha rahat adapte olmanız konusunda avantaj sunarlar. Daha çok seçenek ve zaman kazanabilirsiniz. İyi düşünüp karar verin lütfen. Okulun adı iyi diyerek yıllarca eziyet çekmek de var şimdiden söylemiş olayım. Almanya konusunda en az endişelenmeniz gereken şey okulunuz olmalı. Almanya’da lisans eğitimi kaliteleri tüm ülke genelinde hemen hemen aynıdır. Konu doktora olunca uzmanlıklar, olanaklar ve hocalar önem kazanır. Orada iyi araştırma yapmak gerekir. Şehirlerle ilgili gözlem ve yaşam şartlarına ilişkin yazılarıma “Şehir-Yaşam” bölümünden ulaşabilirsiniz.
