Partner University

The partner of the Language Center of the Turkish-German University is Bielefeld University, a renowned research university in Germany. The academic planning and coordination of the cooperation are carried out under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Damaris Borowski, Professor of German as a Foreign and Second Language at Bielefeld University.

As part of this long-standing partnership, since 2015 the 100 most successful students have been funded each year through summer courses organized and coordinated by the International Office of Bielefeld University in cooperation with the DAAD. The aim of these programs is to specifically deepen German language proficiency as a foreign language in the target-language country and to optimally prepare students for German-language degree programs at the Turkish-German University. In addition, the summer course programs facilitate international encounters, intercultural exchange, and the development of sustainable academic networks.
