The preparatory college, part of the International Study Center at the University of Kassel, prepares applicants with foreign qualifications for studying at German universities.

The preparation takes place in special courses and depends on the subject that the applicants would like to study at the university.
At the end of a course, an examination must be taken to determine whether the students at the preparatory college are suitable for university studies in Germany (Feststellungsprüfung).

During the time at the Studienkolleg, the students are enrolled at the University of Kassel.

What does the preparatory college offer?

• linguistic and subject-related preparation for technical, scientific and mathematical courses in the T-course, for economics and social science courses in the W-course

• Conducting the assessment test, in individual cases also externally, i. H. without attending the Studienkolleg
