What is a Studienkolleg?

If your foreign university entrance qualifications are not sufficient to allow you to study immediately, you have the possibility to take an aptitude test [Feststellungsprüfung]. With this qualification you can apply for a place in a degree programme.

 

Generally, you can apply for a one-year course at a Studienkolleg to prepare for the aptitude test. At the Studienkolleg you should choose a course that prepares you for the degree programme you intend to study:

 

T-course: for the degree programmes Architecture, Construction, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Geology, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Mineralogy, Wood Science

W-course: for the degree programmes Economics and Business Administration, Law and Political Science, Sociology, Geography, Psychology

M-course: for the degree programmes Medicine, Pharmacy, Biology, Psychology, Sport, Forestry and Agricultural Sciences, Anthropology

G-course: for the degree programmes German, History, Art, Philosophy, Legal Studies, Education and Politics, Theology, Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology, Geography
