Study in Germany

If your high school diploma does not meet the requirements for direct admission to a German university, you may need to complete a Studienkolleg — a one-year preparatory course designed to bridge the academic and linguistic gap before beginning a university degree in Germany.

Who Needs to Attend a Studienkolleg?

You may be required to attend a Studienkolleg if:

• - You completed 12 years of schooling (such as most national or Arab high school diplomas).

• - Your secondary school certificate is not equivalent to the German Abitur.

• - You are not directly eligible for admission to a German university according to official recognition criteria.

Types of Preparatory Courses

Each preparatory course is designed to suit a specific academic track:

• - M Course: for medicine, pharmacy, and biology-related fields.

• - T Course: for engineering, mathematics, and natural sciences.

• - W Course: for business, economics, and social sciences.

• - G Course: for humanities and German studies.

• - S Course: for languages and translation studies.

Program Structure

• - Duration: One academic year (two semesters).

• - Language of instruction: German.

• - Content: Intensive German language training along with core subjects based on your academic focus.

• Final Exam: Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) — the university qualification exam, which you must pass in order to apply to a German university.

Admission Requirements

• - A recognized high school diploma.

• - Proof of German language proficiency (commonly B1 or B2 level).

• - Admission test (Aufnahmeprüfung) — required by most Studienkollegs.

• Additional documents such as a motivation letter or CV may strengthen your application.

Application Process

1. Verify your eligibility using the anabin database or uni-assist.

2. Choose the appropriate Studienkolleg based on your intended university major.

3. Reach the required German language level (B1 or B2).

4. Apply for and pass the entrance examination.

5. Enroll in the Studienkolleg after passing the exam.

6. Complete the academic year and pass the FSP exam.

7. Apply to German universities using your FSP results.
