The stepping stone to succeed at university Niedersächsisches

The stepping stone to succeed at university Experience shows that -Alumni are well prepared for their university degree courses. On average students partaking in the preparatory courses are twice as successful and they are faster when completing their respective university subjects. The concept at the is not to only teach German language lessons, but students take part in 3 to 5 subjects with high relevance to their chosen degree course, taught in German. Feststellungsprüfung (i. e. university entrance exam) without preparatory courses? Applicants who cannot directly access a German university can, of course, sit the Feststellungsprüfung without having attended Studienkollgs preparatory courses. However, the pass rate is lower than 10 percent since most applicants tend to underestimate the challenge of taking a complex written and oral test in a foreign language in the respective 5 subjects. But more than 90 percent of the participants pass the Feststellungsprüfung exam, and most of them with good results. Feststellungsprüfung without General Questions of Admission Germany authorities divide foreign school leaving certificates in categories: with and without direct admission to a German university.
