About Studienkolleg
A Studienkolleg is a preparatory college that prepares international students for university studies in Germany. German universities typically require 13 years of education rather than 12. If an international student does not qualify for direct admission to German universities, they may qualify for a Studienkolleg and join a German university once they pass the Studienkolleg examinations.
