One of the semi-annual entry exams is being held today.
As always, there is a lot to do and everybody pitches in.
Each semester, more than a 1,000 people apply to Studienkolleg.
Unfortunately, we can’t admit them all as the number of places is very limited.
After passing the entry exam, students usually spend 2 semesters at Studienkolleg – about 10 months altogether.
Once they pass the final assessment test, they are free to study at any university or university of applied sciences in Germany.
Studienkolleg’s T-course trains us in computer science, physics, chemistry, math, and German.
I want to study here because my Indian graduation diploma doesn’t meet German university entry requirements.
It’s amazing, how many options Studienkolleg has to offer for students from all over the world.
Today, we want to conduct some biological experiments at the center.
We attend the M-course that prepares us for med school or related fields of study.
Since October 2018, I’ve been attending the G-course that teaches social and economic sciences.
In Mexico, it’s usually the lecturers who get to talk during class. Here, learning is more conversational.
In our literature classes, we study plays and can even write our own tragedies and comedies.
It’s great how we delve into German culture in workshops and visits to museums and opera.
Studienkolleg has made it much easier for me to take up my studies.
I’ve learnt a lot of technical terms and academic language to help me explain and describe complex matters.
I got my certificate today - I‘m so happy! And excited, because I’ve also been admitted to med school.
My biggest dream has finally come true.
Many students have been waiting a whole year for this day.
They all passed the final assessment test and now receive their certificate.
Today is a very important day, as they have completed an important step in their education.
Whatever they finally decide to do – stay in Germany, go back home, or move on to another country –
they will have built bridges and important connections that last.
