Private Studienkolleg at Alpha Aktiv
Private Foundation Courses
We make you fit for your studies
If you aspire to study at a university in Germany, you need a degree equivalent to the German Abitur. If you do not possess a degree (and you can check this yourself directly via the anabin online service), you must successfully pass the Feststellungsprüfung (assessment test).
Our Studienkolleg
Our private Studienkolleg offers you the opportunity to prepare yourself linguistically, intellectually, and systematically for the Feststellungsprüfung and your studies. You will expand your knowledge of German and get acquainted with different forms of learning. For 36 weeks, 30 hours per week, our competent and dedicated lecturers will work with you to bring you up to the university level and give you the best possible start to your studies.
We are happy to offer you accommodation for your personal needs.

Feststellungsprüfung
The Feststellungsprüfung is a state examination that shows whether you can start studying at a German university. Individuals who pass the FSP are entitled to look at all universities throughout Germany. The exam consists of a written and an oral part. Your testing depends on the focus of your chosen course of study.
M: for medical, biological, and pharmaceutical courses of study such as: Medicine, pharmacy, biology, agricultural science, forestry, sports science
T: for mathematical, scientific, or technical majors such as: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Geology, Geoecology, Computer Science, Information Management, Food Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Mineralogy, Physics, Technical Biology, Technomathematics, Surveying, Economics and Business Administration (technically oriented), Business Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, Business Informatics (alternatively W-course)
W: for business and social science courses such as: Business Administration, Economics, Business Education, Administrative Science
G: for humanities courses such as: German studies, history, cultural studies, philosophy, communication studies, languages, and arts courses (e.g. art or musicology)
S: for language studies: Studies in linguistics (except German Studies), history (alternatively G-course), law, social sciences (both alternatively W-course), and related studies
It is best to attend a Studienkolleg to successfully pass the Feststellungsprüfung, ideally preparing you for the exam and the studies that follow. As a rule, attendance at a Studienkolleg lasts up to one year. You will be taught various subjects during this time, depending on the focus course you have chosen. Your attendance at the Studienkolleg ends with the Feststellungsprüfung (assessment test), which you take internally at state Studienkollegs or as an external participant after attending a private school Studienkolleg.
Apart from the semester fees, state Studienkollegs do not charge further costs, but applicants must pass an entrance examination in advance due to the limited number of places. Private Studienkollegs, on the other hand, charge fees, but future students do not have to take an entrance exam.
