We count by the nearest intake that can still be started. We settle it in the first steps; if needed, we move to a later semester — the contract price does not change. Not ready for a programme? Start with «Start» (from €647).
Some programmes already close on 30.04 — the earlier we start, the more programmes we can apply to.
Why by dates and not by result: applications start early, and the documents must be ready by spring. A payment before each stage means the work is done on time, not in the last week before the deadline. Less than 6 months before the last deadline of the intake — the late price, paid at once only; less than 3 months — we no longer start the programme for this intake.
What you need to apply
- A portfolio or an audition programme — we collect the requirements of each university in the document registry.
- A school-leaving certificate — we check whether your field needs a Studienkolleg.
- German: creative programmes often require less than others; for a Studienkolleg — for its exam.
- Proof of funds for the visa — a blocked account.
