What is a Studienkolleg?
If you’re an international student aiming to study in Germany but your school-leaving certificate isn’t equivalent to the German Abitur, then a Studienkolleg is your required path. It’s a foundation year that prepares you academically and linguistically for a bachelor’s degree at a German university.
