Researching on internet I've found this initiative for refugees called Kiron university: https://kiron.university/. I've finished by bachelor degree back in Damascus. I'm waiting for the certificate. Once I've got it could I apply for a master in as part of this initiative? I would like to continue my studies while I can here in Germany. Does anyone know if they offer this possibility?

Thank you, I'd really appreciate any answer I could get

Hi Ahmed, I also did some research and unfortunately Kiron university does not offer master courses. You can check that on ther FAQ page: https://kiron.university/faq
There are other possibilities however:
Have you heard about this? The University Potsdam offers courses for refugees who already have studied economics. It´s worth contacting them! ****://***.uni-potsdam.de/international/incoming/refugees.html
****://***.uni-potsdam.de/international/incoming/refugees.html

Hello Ahmed, as soon as you got your certificate you can apply at any german university for a master degree. For example in Bayreuth: ****://***.vwl.uni-bayreuth.de/de/2_Studieninteressierte/Masterstudiengang_Studieninfos_englisch/index.html Studying in Germany is mostly free accept from a little administrative fee and private universities. ****://***.studying-in-germany.org/information-for-refugees/

Dear Ahmed,

Thanks for your message. We do not currently offer Masters degrees at Kiron. We are solely focusing on the Bachelor system at the moment, as we want it to work smoothly for as many people as possible.

If you have a Bachelors degree from another university, you can apply regularly to German universities once you have your defined status. Many universities have programs in place to support refugees in particular, so you could get in touch with a university close to you. Many Master courses are offered in English. I know this post is from a while ago put I still wanted to suggest these options:

There are also these programs you can **** at:

***.daad.de is the website of the German Academic Exchange Service. DAAD offers varied information to those who want to study or research in Germany.

***.inobis.de is a portal for international study applicants. INOBIS contains two databases: the Zeugnis-Datenbank provides information about the assessment of foreign university entrance qualifications in Germany, and the Bewerbungscheckliste (application check list) informs about courses of study, departments and degrees at uni-assist universities. You can also apply directly to uni-assist universities..

***.study-in-germany.de is a comprehensive information portal for international students, academics and researchers in Germany offered by Deutsche Welle. Study in Germany is published in German and English as well as six other languages.

***.uni-assist.de assists international study applicants with the application for admission to German universities. The online application service allows you to apply to more than 90 universities in Germany.
