If you are looking to study in Germany as a non-EU international student, you must first check if your previous qualification is recognized at German universities. All the school leaving certificate attained in your country must be compared and translated into German qualification terms otherwise it won’t be recognized. There is a limited list of foreign qualifications assessed to be equivalent to German qualifications.

Maximum international students who have no prior information on the German education system, run out of excitement fearing this marks the end of their dream to study in Germany. However, German universities have a solution for you called Studienkolleg.

Even though many students think the Studienkolleg course is a waste of time, It is said that those international students who undergo Studienkolleg course before their regular studies are more successful than those students who don’t.

What is Studienkolleg ?

Studienkolleg is a University Preparation course in Germany designed to prepare incoming international students who are willing to study in Germany but whose qualifications don’t meet the German education system criteria. Generally a Studienkolleg course lasts for a full academic year. The intention is to prepare you with the required skills and knowledge on particular subjects related to your university course.

Depending on your University course you want to study in Germany you’ll be required to attend one of the following Studienkolleg courses:

·T-Kurs: German, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Informatics

·M-Kurs: German, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology

·W-Kurs: German, Mathematics, Economics, Business and Sociology

·G-Kurs: German, History, German Literature, Sociology and Statistics

GERMAN LANGUAGE

For the best German education, it is necessary to have a good command of the German Language. The undergraduate programs are mostly offered at the best universities in Germany only in German such as Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, IT, Medical, Law, etc

German Language A1 to C1 + DSH (University Entrance Exam is required)

German Intensive course takes 6 months to 9 months with university preparation for Studienkolleg + FSP

Basic German Language preparation is required in Home Country from A1 to B2 level German Language.

DSH - German language exam for university entrance

What does the abbreviation mean?

"DSH" stands for "German language exam for university entrance". Language School prepares foreign students for this exam in cooperation with the University. All language students who have been admitted by the University will receive a student ID card that will allow them to use all public transport and get a room in the student dorm. Upon passing the DSH exam, students have the opportunity to study at any university or college.

The rule on passing the language test for university entrance also applies to Germans who have not graduated from high school in Germany, but abroad. Therefore, many universities and colleges throughout Germany offer exams for internal and external students several times a year. In addition, since 2014 there is a framework under which the audit must be conducted.

Structure of the DSH exam

Written part

The exam consists of two parts, an oral and a written exam, the written part lasts about four hours and can be divided into three parts: listening, reading and writing.

The written part consists of the tasks:

1. Understanding and processing a listening
text (60 min.) 2. Producing a text (60 min.)
3. Understanding and editing a reading text and scientific structures (90 min.

Oral part

The oral exam takes about 40 minutes, including 20 minutes to prepare. At the beginning of the exam you will get a chart, a diagram or a short text and can prepare yourself in peace. During the first few minutes of the exam, you should briefly describe this task and summarize the content. This is followed by a discussion or further questions from the respective examiner. Linguistic correctness, vocabulary, speech and pronunciation, as well as conversational behavior, ie communication with examiners and strategies for problems play a major role in the oral exam. The result of the exam will be given to participants 2-4 weeks after the exam. If the written or oral examination with the result DSH 1 has been taken, the receipt of a DSH 2 certificate is no longer possible. In this case the test should be repeated. This is possible as often as desired.

Overall result of the exam

The overall result of the exam is divided into three levels, aiming to reach the DSH 2 levels.

• DSH-1 if at least 57% of the requirements were met in both the written and oral tests.

• DSH-2 when 67% has been met.

• DSH-3 when 82% of the requirements have been met.

At the DSH 1 level, enrolment may be linked to attending further language courses and retesting, usually without additional requirements, only for enrolment in bilingual (eg English-German) degree programs. However, for most degree programs at German universities, the DSH 2 level is necessary; DSH 3 is only required for studies in human or dental medicine and for some other degree programs with increased linguistic requirements.

In admission procedures, the levels are evaluated analogously to the levels TDN-3 to TDN-5 of the TestDaF, which determine a language level between B2 and C2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

Other equivalent degrees

• The German Language Diploma

• The certificate telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule

• The certificate of passing the upper level examination of the Goethe-Institut

• The "Small German Language Diploma" and the "Great German Language Diploma" of the Goethe-Institut

Miscellaneous

How each university organizes and performs the exam can be read on the pages of the universities. The exam dates vary as well. As a rule, the universities offer the DSH exams four times a year.

The exam is payable in any case, the fees vary from university to university. Universities recommend a preparatory course to learn strategies for solving the tasks.

Language Schools offer various German language courses to prepare for the DSH examination of foreign students, with courses divided into five different levels: A1-A2-B1-B2-C1.

Note:

1. Select the Studienkolleg according to your study area

2. In any case of doubt, ask the International Office of the university offering the selected undergraduate course, which Studienkolleg you have to attend.

3. Mind the abbreviations:

Uni = Research University

FH = University of Applied Sciences (does not prepare for degree courses at research universities)

staatlich = public = mostly free of tuition fees

staatlich anerkannt = private

Apart from the fact that most courses at public universities are free of tution fees, neither DAAD nor German universities provide any scholarships for foreign students attending Studienkolleg or undergraduate courses.

G = Humanities, German literature and language S = Languages

Universities of Applied Sciences (Hochschulen/Fachhochschulen)

TI = Technical and Engineering Sciences

WW = Business Studies

GD = Art, Design and related fields

How long do the courses take and what kind of end exam will I take at the end?

Courses usually run for two semesters followed by the final exam (Feststellungsprüfung). Courses mostly start in spring and fall.

What are the prerequisites to join a Studienkolleg?

Before joining a Studienkolleg, you will have to pass an admission test (mostly German, Maths). Prerequisites are: - University entrance qualification ( 10 + 2 , or Higher Secondary Exam) - Sufficient pre knowledge of German (B1 level – contact Goethe Institute for language courses )
