Studienkolleg in Germany

Congratulations on obtaining a C1 of German proficiency level certificate! You are one step away from living your dreams to be studying in Germany but did you just realise that your latest academic certificate is not recognised by German Abitur? Do not panic because there is always a way out.

​

#1 WHAT IS STUDIENKOLLEG?

​

Studienkollegs are public educational institutions in Germany which offer preparatory courses (foundation year courses) for international students hoping to study at a German university. If your secondary school certificate is not recognised as being equal to the German Abitur, you will need to complete a Studienkolleg before enrolling to a German university. German is the language of instruction in every Studienkolleg.

​

Studienkollegs often require applicants to take an entrance exam that invariably includes a B2/C1-level German language test and sporadically also includes a math test. The Feststellungsprüfung (FSP), a two-semester final test that comprises subjects linked to your future field of study, is offered by Studienkollegs. After passing the FSP, you can apply immediately to the study programme of your choice at any German institution.

​

#2 WHO IS IT FOR?

Is interested in pursuing degree’s, master’s and PhD degree in Germany

Obtains a pre-university certificate that IS NOT RECOGNISED by  German Abitur

Is interested in building language skills, adjust to living and studying abroad in Germany.

#3 PREPARATION FOR STUDIENKOLLEG

To ensure that students are as prepared as possible for the Studienkolleg admissions examination, two four-week modules of preparatory courses have been developed. These programmes emphasise German math while also practising for mock exams. At Berlin's public Studienkollegs, every teacher has previous teaching experience.
