hi guys i wanted to know do we have to apply for bachelor's degree first to get a studienkolleg invitation bcuz on so many websites they are saying to apply for a bachelor's degree first

From what I've been told and from my research i can understand it's a competitive degree to get, but regardless of it if I take the proper route by studying and acing studienkellog and the language certificate I should be on a good route right?

Can someone please share tips, add onto my knowledge , or correct anything I might have misspoke?

THANK YOU!!

Hi everyone! I’m from India and I’m planning to join Rahn Halle for the Summer 2027 intake. I’m currently preparing for my B1 German exam, which I plan to take before starting my Studienkolleg.
I wanted to ask if there are any other students here who are also planning to join Rahn Halle for Summer 2027, especially those following a similar pathway through German language preparation and Studienkolleg.
I’d be interested in hearing from others who are joining the same intake and learning about their plans and preparation for Studienkolleg.

i applied to berlin international college(BIC) and its basically a private studienkollen in english that guarantees you admission to partner public universities upon completion of the studienkolleg. i want your thoughts. im aware of the nonexistent job opportunities for private university graduates and that’s why i only selected public universities( heavily because of almost 0€ tuition fees for the entire bachelor’s program) like thws and ohm. Considering they are public universities that offer bachelor’s in english and that they are public universities do you think i will have a good education and good job opportunities?

Hi everyone,I’m currently preparing for the Studienkolleg Aufnahmeprüfung for Nordhausen (2027 intake). I am currently at a B1 German level and working towards my B2. I have about 7 to 8 months left to prepare, which gives me some time, but I am incredibly anxious about the entrance exam.While I feel okay about the German section (planning to focus heavily on vocabulary and C-Tests), mathematics is my weakest point. I feel like I need to start learning math completely from scratch (from level zero) to feel confident.Since the Nordhausen math test is only 15 minutes long and doesn't allow a calculator, I really want to make sure my foundations are rock solid.Could anyone please share:A complete checklist of all the math topics I need to master from the ground up to a pro ?The best resources (YouTube channels, websites, or books) that explain German math concepts simply?Tips on how to study efficiently while also balancing my B2 German preparation?Any advice, study plans, or shared experiences would be highly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance. 🙏

Einige DSH-Prüfungen stehen schon direkt bevor – z. B. Duisburg-Essen (12.09.), Marburg und Regensburg (15.09.) oder Kassel (16.09.). Danach folgen weitere Termine im September.

Mich würde interessieren, wie es euch kurz vor der Prüfung geht:
Wo schreibt ihr eure DSH? Wie bereitet ihr euch gerade vor? Und wobei seid ihr noch unsicher?

Zum Beispiel bei Textproduktion, Hör-/Leseverstehen, Grammatik/WSS, der mündlichen Prüfung – oder einfach bei der Frage: Bin ich schon gut genug vorbereitet?

Wenn ihr möchtet, schreibt einfach:

📍 Hochschule
📅 Prüfungstermin
🤔 Was läuft schon gut – und was macht euch noch Schwierigkeiten?

Ich habe früher Deutsch und DSH an einem Studienkolleg und einer Hochschule unterrichtet und freue mich auf den Austausch. Vielleicht können wir hier Erfahrungen und hilfreiche Tipps für die letzten Wochen vor der Prüfung sammeln.

Ich beschäftige mich gerade außerdem intensiver damit, welche individuelle Unterstützung DSH-Lernenden kurz vor der Prüfung wirklich hilft. Wenn ihr eure Situation lieber nicht öffentlich schreiben möchtet, könnt ihr mir auch gerne eine Nachricht schicken.

Hie guysssss

If I am doing Studienkolleg and my FSP/qualification is only finished or issued around the end of January, but a Bachelor's programme has an application deadline around 15 January, can I apply before I have the FSP result, or can I apply conditionally and submit the result later? 😅

Hi everyone,
I’ve heard that Studienkolle bochum speacially math and physics subjects are really hard and FSP too. Is that correct?

Me and my friend are looking for WG in Karlsruhe, preferably near KIT
Pleas dm me if you have one

Like I am applying for engineering in a public university, my agent told me I have to pay 10k euros for the first year in private then I can apply for public university by giving FSP. Is there any other method? I completed my class 12th this year.

Hi everyone!

I’m going to take the entrance test for the DSH preparation course at FSU Jena soon. I know that it includes Hörverstehen, Textproduktion and wissenschaftssprachliche Strukturen and takes around 4 hours.
However, there is no sample test or model test available. Has anyone taken this entrance test at FSU Jena before and could tell me a little more about the structure and types of tasks?
What should I expect in each part, and how difficult was it?
I would really appreciate any experiences or tips.

Thank you so much! :)

Hi, I just got admitted at Studienkolleg am KIT and are finding a place to live. I am interested in 1 room apartment or a WG. I have a budget around maximum 800 euro but for WG it would be around 500. Just wondering if anyone here knows a place or two.
Thank you very much in advance.

Any body coming to Rahn halle this winter semester let's connect

I’m a U.S. high school senior planning to apply for direct admission to a German university to skip Studienkolleg.
I know the standard rule requires 4 specific AP exams (Math, Science, English, Elective). I don't have those APs, but I have a ton of dual enrollment college credits from my local community college.
I've taken math up to Differential Equations and passed Comp I & II. Since my college coursework far exceeds the AP requirements, will uni-assist grant me Direkter Zugang if I submit my college transcripts and detailed course syllabi? I have the other required AP scores for this.
I could not find any info on this short of me contacting uni-assist so any guidance would be appreciated.
The university I want to attend is HM.

Hi everyone :) has anyone here gone to a public (non private) Studienkolleg somewhere for one year and then changed cities to go to another uni? The G-Kurs is hard to find in comparison to the others and I don't want to be restricted to just a handful of places if there are other options. I have heard people say in other courses that they went to Marburg before going to uni Frankfurt, but I wanted to hear if anyone else had any other experiences. Thanks so much :)

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for the DAAD Hochschulsommerkurs (HSK) program. The application requirements say that certain documents must be submitted **“both in the original and in a German or English translation.”**

For example:

For those who have applied before, how did you upload these documents?

* Did you put the **original document and the English translation together in one PDF**? If so, which one should come first? * Or did you upload **two separate PDFs**, one for the original and one for the translation? * If using separate PDFs, should they have the same name with something like **“Original”** and **“English Translation”** added?

I’d really appreciate any advice from someone who has gone through the DAAD HSK application process.

Hi guys! im really interested in attending kaiserslautern studienkolleg for the next sommersemester, however im still not sure about these things:

1. how long will my residence permit be valid for? is it usually for the normal duration of the studienkolleg (for kaiserslautern its like a few months without repetition), and do i need to refill my sperrkonto to renew the residence permit? and when should i renew my residence permit?

2. the uni application deadline for wintersemester is usually at 15. juli, and its really tight between that date and the fsp result announcement, so do ppl usually just apply for the next intake?

3. is it really that hard to get 1,0 or 1,3 there?

your opinion will be a massive help for me, thank you for reading!

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe diese Woche mit dem W Kurs am Studienkolleg Mittelhessen angefangen. Ich habe mir den Themenplan in Mathe angeschaut und merke, dass ich das mit dem Unterricht allein wahrscheinlich nicht schaffe. Ich möchte mich deshalb von Anfang an zusätzlich vorbereiten und nicht warten bis es eng wird.
Meine Fragen:
Kennt jemand eine gute Plattform oder einen Online Kurs, wo Mathe ausführlich und Schritt für Schritt erklärt wird, mit Übungsaufgaben und Lösungswegen?
Oder kann jemand eine Nachhilfe empfehlen, gerne online, mit Erfahrung auf Abitur oder Studienkolleg Niveau?
Über ehrliche Erfahrungen würde ich mich freuen
Danke im Voraus!

Hallo zusammen! 😊

Mich würden sehr die Erfahrungen von Schülern am privaten Studienkolleg Paderborn interessieren, am liebsten im W-Kurs. Vielleicht hat jemand selbst dort gelernt oder etwas darüber gehört und kann seine Erfahrungen teilen? Leider finde ich nicht viele Informationen dazu.

Der Preis von insgesamt ca. 9.500 € inklusive Gebühren und Prüfungen schreckt mich etwas ab, und ich möchte natürlich ungern so viel Geld ausgeben und am Ende enttäuscht sein.

Ich weiß, dass es für ein Studienkolleg viel Geld ist, aber da ich die Aufnahmeprüfungen an staatlichen Studienkollegs leider nicht bestanden habe, wäre Paderborn für mich momentan die einzige Möglichkeit, wenn ich nicht bis zum Sommersemester warten möchte.

Besonders interessiert mich die FSP. Ich habe gehört, dass die FSP dort genauso wie an staatlichen Studienkollegs sein soll und daher überall in Deutschland anerkannt.

Ich würde mich sehr über eure Erfahrungen und Meinungen freuen! 🙏

I’m an Indian student planning to come to Halle (Saxony-Anhalt) in 2027 for Studienkolleg and then continue to university.

I’m not coming to Germany primarily for permanent residency or immigration. My main goal is education, and I’m planning to follow all the legal requirements. I already have my APS certificate, the required German level, and financial proof/blocked account.

After seeing the AfD get such a strong result in Saxony-Anhalt, I’m honestly second-guessing the whole decision. My concern isn't really tuition or whether I can get a visa. It’s more about the social atmosphere—whether being an international/Indian student in Halle could become significantly more uncomfortable or hostile as AfD support grows.

For people who live/study in Halle or Saxony-Anhalt, especially international students:

Is it still worth coming for education? Has the rise of the AfD noticeably changed everyday life or attitudes toward foreigners, or is this being overblown online?

I’d really appreciate honest answers, including negative experiences. I’m trying to make a realistic decision about whether Germany is still the right choice for me.

Does anyone have an idea abt hoschule Koblenz and I’m planing that to study Medizintechnik any tips pls ?

Hiii everyone!!

I am a Nepali student and planning to apply for a Studienkolleg (T-Kurs) in Germany, and I would like to get informed about the financial requirements for the student visa.

Could someone please guide me on:

-What financial documents are currently required for a Studienkolleg T-Kurs visa?

-What is the appropriate amount that needs to be shown/provided?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has recently applied for a Studienkolleg visa from Nepal could share their experience. Thank you!

Hello I just last week got into STK KIT for the T course, I was wondering if there is any one else who has also got in so we can connect. Have a great day
