About Studienkolleg

Students, who cannot apply directly to study at German Institutes of Higher Education because they don’t have an accepted school leaving certificate, have to take an exam (Feststellungsprüfung) before they study (equivalent to the German „ Abitur”).

In order to pass this entrance exam successfully, universities offer potential applicants 12-month preparation courses (Studienkollegs) . The course ends with the exam and the permission to study.

Entry to the  Studienkollegs is also restricted. As there are more applicants than free places, foreign applicants have to take an entrance exam for the Studienkolleg. You can take the entrance exam at various Studienkolleges ; individual Studienkollegs may have different entrance exams and demands.

The 4-week GLS Preparation course prepares you completely for the demands of this exam (whichever Studienkolleg you have applied for). It practises the areas focused on in the exam: German and mathematics.

With practice tests and relevant material, we prepare you for the following requirements:

ENTRANCE EXAM: GERMAN

• Introduction to analysing academic structures and texts
• Introduction to describing and interpreting graphic material
• Revision of core points of German syntax and morphology

ENTRANCE EXAM:  MATHEMATICS

Recommended material: Dudenverlag: Abiturwissen-Box
