A Studienkolleg is a preparatory course for international students who are interested in studying at a German university. It helps students meet the requirements for admission by improving their academic skills & knowledge of the German language. The program is designed to bridge the gap between the student's previous education & the academic standards in Germany. During the Studienkolleg, students study subjects related to their future field of study, such as science & humanities, depending on their chosen program. After completing the Studienkolleg, students can take the FSP exam, which, if passed, allows them to apply to a German university.
