Türkisch-Deutsche Universität

The Turkish-German University (TDU) in Istanbul is a unique project of German-Turkish academic cooperation, combining the educational standards of both countries. It offers an excellent opportunity for a semester abroad; providing both academic depth and intercultural diversity.

At TDU, undergraduate programs are taught in German, while master’s programs are available in either German or English, depending on the field of study. The university is located in Istanbul (though somewhat outside the city center). Istanbul is a metropolis that connects Europe and Asia, vibrant, historically rich, and full of cultural diversity.

You will gain insight into a multilingual and multicultural environment and benefit from the close cooperation between German and Turkish universities. These are valuable international competencies for both your studies and future career. A semester in Istanbul means more than just studying: it’s a chance to experience new cultures, build networks, and grow personally.
