Studienkolleg

If you don’t quite have all the requirements that you need to be accepted to a German university, it is possible to attend preparatory college. Notes specific to each country for acceptance to higher learning can be found in the evaluation guidelines of the Ministry of Culture Conference databank and in the acceptance databank of the DAAD.

The 2 semester preparatory college ends with a final test to evaluate if the foreign applicant has suitably met requirements to be accepted to study in Germany. Application to the preparatory college can be carried out at the institute where the student ultimately aims to study.
