Take advantage of the excellent but inexpensive educational opportunities available in Germany. If your grades or degree do not allow you as a prospective international student to register at a German university, you can obtain the necessary prerequisites by passing the so-called “Feststellungsprüfung” in Germany. We – the “studienkolleg nrw” – cooperate with Hochschule Fresenius – University of Applied Sciences in Cologne to offer an effective preparation for this examination. After you have successfully passed the Feststellungsprüfung as well as the regular enrollment procedures of Hochschule Fresenius, we guarantee you a place in one of their German or English Bachelor programs.
German education is becoming increasingly popular among international students. Germany has an outstanding education system. Private and public universities are much less expensive than the international competition. With our program “german education gate”, we lay the academic foundation for individuals, who do not have direct access to the German university system.
