What is it?
A one-year preparatory programme, with courses grouped by subject area, German language classes and a final assessment that can lead to university eligibility.
Who may need it?
Students whose school-leaving qualification does not directly qualify them. For many Indian students after Class XII, this is a common route, but it depends on your profile.
Planning
- Check your eligibility for Studienkolleg.
- Prepare for the entrance requirements and German language.
- Plan funds, since you will study for an additional year.
Please note: requirements differ by university, programme and applicant, and rules change. Treat this as a planning guide and confirm details with the university and official sources, or connect with our counsellors.
