Applying for the Studienkolleg
International and German applicants whose higher education entrance qualification is not equivalent to the German Abitur can take the “Examination for the Assessment of University Entrance Qualification” („Feststellungsprüfung“ [de]), if this is recommended by the ZAB. You will receive the opportunity to prepare for your course of study in a one-year preparatory course at the Studienkolleg in Heidelberg. It is not possible to register directly for admission to the Studienkolleg in Heidelberg. Please apply from 01 June to 15 July resp. from 01 December to 15 January via the online application portal of the University of Freiburg for the degree "Feststellungsprüfung". The subject "Studienkolleg" and the 1st semester are automatically selected. In a second step, you must then upload your language certificate, your university entrance qualification (high school diploma), your letter of motivation and your curriculum vitae at the appropriate places. You must then select the desired course at the Studienkolleg and name your future course of study at the University of Freiburg. The courses at the Studienkolleg as well as the individual degree programmes at the University of Freiburg are linked in the online application portal.
Please note: An application to the Studienkolleg via an application for a higher semester is not possible.

You have already attended the Studienkolleg and passed the Feststellungsprüfung?
- We accept the Feststellungsprüfung from all Studienkollegs that are part of the Consortium of German Studienkollegs.
- A Feststellungsprüfung completed at a Studienkolleg not on the above list will only be accepted in specific individual cases.
- A Feststellungsprüfung completed at a Studienkolleg connected to a University of Applied Sciences only leads to a university entrance qualification for Universities of Applied Sciences, and can therefore not be accepted by the University of Freiburg.
