In some cases, applicants may additionally be required to pass an admission test or to complete an internship.'>university entrance qualifications<i class="js-icon" data-name="info-circle" data-hidden="true"></i></button> (in German: Hochschulzugangsberechtigung, HZB) for studies in Germany, as the education systems are too different for this. Without the HZB, it is not possible to enter directly into the German university system. Information regarding the country-specific evaluation of foreign school-leaving certificates and degrees can be found on the <a class="js-link" href="https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/nach-deutschland/voraussetzungen/en/57293-database-on-admission-requirements/" data-has-icon="true" data-type="internal">DAAD admission database</a> (based on the "anabin" database of the Central Office for Foreign Education [Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen, ZAB]).</p> <p>If your school-leaving certificate does not entitle you to directly start studying in Germany, you can apply for a place at a <button class="glossary js-tooltip" type="button" title="A Studienkolleg offers preparatory courses for prospective international students who wish to study at a higher education institution in Germany.

This is to check whether applicants meet the requirements for studying at a German higher education institution.'>Feststellungsprüfung (FSP)<i class="js-icon" data-name="info-circle" data-hidden="true"></i></button>.</p> <h3>What should I pay attention to when choosing a Studienkolleg?</h3> <p>Studienkollegs vary in the subject focus of the courses that are offered and the type of higher education institution for which they prepare students – so it is important to carefully choose the right Studienkolleg.</p> <p>When choosing a Studienkolleg, it is advisable to enquire about the options available after graduating, even before applying at the relevant Studienkolleg. This is because some Studienkollegs only prepare students for a degree programme at a university or at a university of applied sciences, while some Studienkollegs offer both options. Usually, it is possible to study anywhere in Germany after successfully completing the Studienkolleg, but in some cases the Studienkolleg is tied to certain geographical regions or specific higher education institutions.</p> <p>In addition, the subject that will be studied is a deciding factor. Although all Studienkollegs teach general competencies and language skills that are necessary for successful studies in Germany, they have different foci:</p> <p><strong>For studies at universities</strong></p> <ul> <li>M courses – for medical, biological or pharmaceutical courses of study</li> <li>W courses – for business and economics programmes and social science courses of study</li> <li>G courses – for the humanities or German studies programmes</li> <li>T courses – for mathematical-scientific or technical courses of study</li> <li>S courses – for language programmes</li> </ul> <p><strong>For studies at a university of applied sciences</strong></p> <ul> <li>TI courses – for technical and engineering courses of study</li> <li>WW courses – for economics programmes</li> <li>GD courses – for creative and artistic programmes</li> <li>SW courses – for social science courses of study</li> </ul> <p>At the end of a Studienkolleg programme, there is an assessment test, the so-called “Feststellungsprüfung”. Successfully passing the assessment test allows access to studies throughout Germany at all universities or universities of applied sciences.</p> <h4>Public or private Studienkollegs</h4> <aside class="info-box info-box--right"><h4>Further Information</h4> <div> <p>Learn about possible Studienkollegs and the criteria for your application from the respective higher education institutions. You can find an incomplete list of public Studienkollegs <a class="js-link" href="https://studienkollegs.de/Kontaktdaten.html" target="_blank" data-has-icon="true" data-type="external">here</a>.</p> </div> </aside><p>It is also important to differentiate between public and private Studienkollegs. </p> <p>Public Studienkollegs guarantee a state-recognised assessment test. However, there are only a few private Studienkollegs that can offer a state-recognised qualification. Therefore, applicants should inform themselves in advance. It is also possible to prepare for the assessment test at a private Studienkolleg and then take the assessment test externally.</p> <p>The external assessment test will be recognised at all German higher education institutions, and it will qualify the applicant to apply for a study place according to his or her focus and type of university.</p> <aside class="info-box"><h4>Further Information</h4> <div> <p>Prospective students can also prepare for the assessment test on their own without a Studienkolleg and then take the test externally. The number of examination spaces for students who take the test externally is often limited for capacity reasons.</p> </div> </aside><h3>How can you apply for a place at a Studienkolleg?</h3> <p>It is sometimes not possible for applicants to directly apply for a place at many public Studienkollegs. Depending on the degree programme or higher education institution of your choice, you can apply directly to the institution or via <a class="js-link" href="https://www.uni-assist.de/" target="_blank" data-has-icon="true" data-type="external">uni-assis</a>t. On the other hand, direct application is often possible at private Studienkollegs.</p> <p>It is worthwhile to carefully check which Studienkolleg is best for you, because if the higher education institution of your choice has its own Studienkolleg or cooperates closely with a private Studienkolleg, the processes and schedules will be coordinated. In some cases, Studienkollegs also guarantee a place in individual degree programmes at certain universities after a successfully completed FSP.</p> <p>Because of this, it is important to check with the higher education institution of your choice to find out if the FSP of the Studienkolleg you want to attend will be accepted in order to avoid any potential problems.</p> <h3>How much does preparation at a Studienkolleg cost?</h3> <p>In general, public Studienkollegs offer programmes that are free of charge (except for the <button class="glossary js-tooltip" type="button" title="Students must pay semester fees to the higher education institution for each semester of study. These are not tuition fees! The fees vary greatly depending on the higher education institution and federal state. Semester fees are used to pay for higher education institution administration work (for registration and re-registration), for the student services (Studierendenwerk) and the activities of the General Students' Committee (AStA). At some higher education institutions, the fee also covers a semester ticket, which enables students to use public transport in and around town at no extra cost.">semester fee<i class="js-icon" data-name="info-circle" data-hidden="true"></i></button>), whereas private Studienkollegs frequently charge fees. As enrolled students, participants at the Studienkollegs can benefit from student perks such as inexpensive meals in the cafeterias, the opportunity to participate in sports programmes or free use of the university library as well as public transportation in some cities.</p> <h3>How long does preparation at a Studienkolleg take?</h3> <p>Usually, preparation at a Studienkolleg takes two <button class="glossary js-tooltip" type="button" title="The academic year in Germany is generally divided into two semesters. German higher education institutions generally have a winter semester (from October to March) and a summer semester (from April to September). A semester includes both the period when courses and lectures are held and the time without lectures (lecture-free period).">semesters<i class="js-icon" data-name="info-circle" data-hidden="true"></i></button>. Students who perform very well may be able to shorten this time to one semester. Prospective students are taught all the linguistic, technical and methodological requirements that are needed for a course of study. In addition to the focus on course content, cultural and social skills are taught in order to make it easier for students to start their studies in Germany. Most Studienkollegs offer courses in the German language. Studienkollegs teach language skills up to level C1 of the <button class="glossary js-tooltip" type="button" title="The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) describes in detail what learners have to be able to express and understand both verbally and in writing in a foreign language in six different levels. These guidelines are intended to facilitate the mutual recognition of language certificates and promote cooperation between educational institutions in different countries. The levels range from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native proficiency).">Common European Framework of Reference for Languages<i class="js-icon" data-name="info-circle" data-hidden="true"></i></button>.</p> <p>Normally, courses take place during the week (Monday through Friday). However, many Studienkollegs started to offer virtual courses at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and these courses can be taken anywhere at any time. It can also be expected that in the future, more preparatory programmes will be offered that will enable prospective students to prepare for their studies in Germany while they are still in their home
