Preparatory Study at the Studienkolleg
Some international secondary school certificates do not directly qualify students to study at a German university. In these cases, you can qualify for a degree program at a German university via the Studienkolleg.
What is the Studienkolleg?
The Studienkolleg is an educational institution for students who are qualified to study in another country, but not in Germany. The final exam after the course at the Studienkolleg is the so-called Feststellungsprüfung, which enables subject-specific access to a degree program at a German university. The preparatory phase in the Studienkolleg takes 2 semesters.
The Studienkolleg München ist responsible for applicants to all bavarian universities, including TUM.
There are different courses at the Studienkolleg that provide access to different degree programs:
- The G course for Humanities and Arts degree programs
- The M course for Medicine and Biology degree programs
- The T course for Technical, Mathematical and Natural Science degree programs
- The W course for Business and Social Science degree programs
If you would like to apply to the Studienkolleg München via TUM, please submit an online application throughTUMonline. Select “Preparatory colleges” as type of studies and choose your desired course from the list. You will be assigned to a suitable course accordingly.
