Information on the Admission Exam (only applicable to group 3)

Applicants who have acquired occupational training qualifications that are not related to their desired degree program will need to pass an admission exam as part of their application.

Do you have to take the admission exam? Then please submit the application for a certificate examination for vocationally qualified persons. This can be submitted via the application portal from 01.12.2023 to 31.05.2024, stating your desired course of study.

Please note: 

You will only be able to apply for your desired degree program via the online portal after you have passed the admission exam. All application materials (including the exam results) must be submitted before the application deadline.

The admission exam only takes place once during the year for the winter semester. We are unable to offer an alternative date for this examination. This is why group 3 applicants cannot apply for a degree program starting in the summer semester. It may be possible to repeat or re-register for the admission exam the following year.

You have the opportunity to prepare for the admission exam before you take it. You can find information on the examination subjects that apply to your chosen degree program in the following table. You can refer to sample exams on the Studienkolleg website. The Studienkolleg regularly offers consultations for different examination subjects. We strongly recommend that you attend these consultations so that you can adequately prepare for the exam.
