T-Course

Technical, mathematical and scientific courses such as mathematics, physics, computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, architecture and civil engineering are assigned to the T course.

After a successful application and successful participation in the entrance test, you can start your specialist course (G, M, T, W) depending on your desired course of study and will be enrolled as a student at a university in central Hesse.

The courses take place in the rooms of the Philipps University of Marburg and the Technical University of Central Hesse in Giessen. The M and T courses usually take place in the rooms of the Technical University of Central Hesse in Giessen, while the W and G courses are decided at short notice.

The training in the specialist courses at the preparatory college usually lasts one year (= 2 semesters). After successfully completing the 1st semester at the preparatory college, students are admitted to the 2nd semester. It is possible to repeat the 1st semester if the knowledge is not yet sufficient to attend the 2nd semester. The assessment test (FSP) takes place at the end of the second semester. Anyone who does not pass this exam can repeat the second semester. You can only repeat each semester once. Applicants with good prior knowledge can take the assessment test after just one semester.

The courses take place as follows:

• Winter semester: beginning of September to the end of January, holidays: December 24th to the beginning of January
• Summer semester: beginning of March to the end of July, holidays in August

As a student at the preparatory college, you are required to attend all classes and to take part in regular (written and oral) performance assessments.
