I fled to Germany, but am still studying online at my Ukrainian university. Where can I get funding for my studies?

Some Ukrainian students fled to Germany, but are still online students of their Ukrainian university. The question is, which possibilities there are to fund daily life?

Digital studies at a Ukrainian university is - following German law - neither to be funded as a "Fernstudium" (correspondance course), nor as "studies abroad". The latter would demand a cooperation with a German university (§ 5 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 BAföG). As a result, BAföG cannot be attributed (cf. here, in German).

But, Social Security Code is still a possibility for funding ("Leistungsanspruch nach SGB II) via the Jobcenter (Ukrainian version of the site). And this because the long perspective for integration in the labour market is taken into account. Because a near university degree means better chances in the labour market in Germany. And, people not having the German language level of B1, shall normally first take part in a course for integration (meaning the law: § 3 Abs. 2a Nr. 1 SGB II).
So, please contact with your personal constellation a contact person of Jobcenter. Then, a senseful planning for a long perspective integration can be developped. It's not probable that a educational or further vocational training measure - once begun - will be stopped. That would run counter public interest and the need of qualified employees.

I am a student or a future student who has fled Ukraine – can I study in Germany?

What are the requirements for studying if I DON’T get a long-term residence permit as per §24 Residence Act [Aufenthaltsgesetz]?

You can stay in Germany to study. It is however required that you were accepted by a university for a full-time course of study and that you can come up for your expenses yourself. To be able to finance yourself is one of the most important requirements for a residence permit for the purpose of studying as per §16b Residence Act.

https://www.daad.de/en/study-and-research-in-germany/plan-your-studies/costs-of-education-and-living/

What are the requirements for studying if I get a long-term residence permit as per §24 Residence Act?

Many Ukrainian students who come to Germany want to continue with their studies here. Since 2005, Ukraine has been a member of the Bologna Process. Thus, results that were achieved in Ukraine will also be recognized in Germany.

If you have a long-term residence permit as per §24 Residence Act due to the current situation, you can study or do a training.

At the moment, people who have a residence permit as per §24 Residence Act cannot apply for BAföG; there hasn’t yet been a decision on this.

If you were in Ukraine when the war broke out and fled the country, you can claim social benefits in Germany as a refugee. Furthermore, you can register as looking for a job and can apply for scholarships.

Please also have a look here for useful information: https://www.study-in-germany.de/de/studium-planen/besondere-lebensumstaende/studienangebote-fuer-gefluechtete/ .

Where can I get a Statement of Comparability for the diploma/degree (f.e. Bachelor's) of my homeland in Germany?

You have a leaving certificate or diploma of an Ukrainian university and want to have a Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications? So that you can apply for work, or begin research studies or Masters' studies?

The the "Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen" (Central Office for Foreign Education – ZAB) is responsible in Germany for those Statements of Comparability for foreign higher education qualifications. It's funded by the the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany.
A Statement of Comparability is an official document issued by the ZAB that describes a foreign higher education qualification, its professional and academic usage. The ZAB Statement of Comparability can facilitate access to the German labour market or university research studies for holders of foreign higher education qualifications. It is a comparative assessment but not a recognition certificate.

You can apply for a Statement of Comparability here.
The website is also available in Urkainian.

You have fled the Ukraine and cannot prove your university degree by diploma or leaving certificate? Then you can additionnally turn to the ZAB. It offers a procedure of plausabilty in case of lacking documents.
So persons who cannot show proof of their university degree or leaving certificate, can apply for a Statement of Comparability for Foreign Higher Education Qualifications after established plausability.

The Statement specifies the German qualification to which your foreign qualification is comparable and provides information on the options for continuing your studies, the legal basis of the use of academic degrees and the procedure of professional recognition. The Statement does not give rise to a legal claim.

Can I, as a refugee student from Ukraine, get financial support by the so-called "BAföG"?

Since the 1st of June, 2022, this is in principle possible to get BAföG as a student and refugee from Ukraine (link to Ukrainian version). But there are certain indispensable conditions:

  • You have or have applied for a residence permit in accordance with Section 24 Paragraph 1 of the Residence Act (in German: Aufenthaltstitel nach § 24 AufenthG oder entsprechende Fiktionsbescheinigung nach § 81 Abs. 5 in Verbindung mit Abs. 3 oder 4 AufenthG). A "Fiktionsbescheinigung" is a provisional residence permit for Germany.
  • You are enrolled in your degree program ( a so-called "ordentliche Immatrikulation"). This means that you are studying to get a degree.
  • You have the required language skills and level which is necessary to follow the lectures at the university.

If these conditions are met, you can apply for BAföG.
BAföG is a Federal scholarship: the German Federal Training Assistance Act (in short: BAföG). BAföG is normally half a grant, half a loan free of interest. The maximum amount to be paid back is 10 010 EUR.

Please apply for BAföG at your local Studierendenwerk responsible for the university you are enrolled at. If your university is on this list, the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern (Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern) is responsible. There, you can get first information and free counselling by the BAfög Advisory Services.
 

IMPORTANT:
If you still follow the online lectures and programme of your Ukrainian university, you can NOT get BAföG! Same applies for refugees enrolled at a university in an auditor programme, an exchange programme or study stays, without the concrete aim of a degree (cf. here).
In these cases, there is the possibility to get funded by the German Social Security Code under SGB [German Social Code] II. The Application then is handled by the so-called Jobcenter of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit [Federal Employment Agency], link to Ukrainian version.)
