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, or you are not directly eligible for admission to a German university according to official recognition criteria.
Types of Preparatory Courses
Program Structure
Duration: One academic year (two semesters).
Language of Instruction: German.

Final Exam: Feststellungspruefung (FSP) — the university qualification exam you must pass to apply to a German university.
