Studienkolleg (Preparatory College)

Who must attend a Studienkolleg?

Applicants whose foreign educational certificates are not comparable with a German higher education entrance qualification (HZB) must attend the Studienkolleg before taking up their studies. It ends with passing the final exam (Feststellungsprüfung / FSP). Applicants whose foreign certificates correspond to the standard of the German higher education entrance qualification (Abitur) cannot attend the Studienkolleg.

For the application, please refer to the information on the website: "Applying with a foreign certificate". In addition, proof of the required knowledge of the German language must be provided. 
Further information can be found on the website of the Studienkolleg Darmstadt.
