German language course

 

The preparatory German course at the International Studien- und Sprachenkolleg prepares students for the DSH exam. Prerequisite: direct university entrance qualification (see certificate of recognition).

  • Please check the study profiles to find out which DSH level (1, 2 or 3) you will need in order to begin your future studies (usually DSH 2).

 

German course for refugees

For the winter semester 2022/23 we offer a German course for refugees - also for refugees with an "university admission after successfully passing the Feststellungsprüfung" on their certificate of recognition.

You can apply with international certificates if you either have been granted:

  • residence title according to section 24 of the Residence Act (§24 Aufenthaltsgewährung zum vorübergehenden Schutz) or
  • an officially recognised refugee status or subsidiary protection (§ 25 Para. 1 or 2 German Residence Act/AufenthG)

 

Aim of the German course for refugees
  • "University admission after successfully passing the Feststellungsprüfung": Please apply with one of the accepted B1 certificates. The German course prepares you for the German exam (B2 level). Afterwards, you can apply for the Studienkolleg with your B2 certificate.

  • "Direct university access": Please apply with one of the recognised B1 or B2 certificates. The German course prepares you for the DSH examination (C1 level).
