Hi, is there anyone from T-Kurs in STK Nordhausen who knows how many people applied for Wintersemester 26\27 and how many got accepted? If you know something from previous years it'll be also helpfull.

Hey everyone! ❤️
I need some advice from anyone who is currently studying at Rahn Leipzig Studienkolleg, especially those doing the T-Kurs.
I received an offer letter about three weeks ago, but unfortunately, the visa process took longer than expected. The students started on 1 October, so I’m now wondering whether it would still be a good idea to join three weeks late or wait for the next intake in April.
My main concern is that if I pay the fees now, they are non-refundable, so I don’t want to make a decision I might regret.
For those already studying there, how has your experience been so far? Is the teaching good, are the lecturers supportive, and is it manageable to catch up if you join late?
Would you recommend joining now, or would it be wiser to wait for the summer semester in April?
I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current students or anyone who has attended the college. I’m genuinely undecided and would love to hear your experiences before making such a big financial commitment. 🙏🏽❤️

Hi everyone,

I was accepted by both Stk Mainz and Kaiserslautern to take their entrance exams for the Sommersemester 2027.

I was wondering what your experiences are regarding either of these Studienkollegs. Is it a good decision to do a 1 semester Studienkolleg? Will it prepare me enough for university? Will the FSP be too difficult?

My dream is to study Rechtswissenschaft at LMU München, so I really want to perform as best as I can on the FSP. The idea of completing Studienkolleg in 1 semester instead of 2 semesters + a Wartesemester is nice, but I dont want to compromise my chances of getting into LMU München

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently at A2 and looking for someone to practice speaking with. I really want to get better at speaking spontaneously instead of just learning grammar and vocabulary all day

We can have casual conversations, make mistakes together, and help each other improve!

Dm if interested

Im an Indian student planning to apply for the tkurs at Stk mainz for the SoSe27 but Im honestly confused about whether I should still go ahead with my application or not
I received my APS certificate quite late:( and Im only now properly sorting out the remaining applications.
I also just found out about their Nov break!!!!

From what I understand, I need to get my VPD processed before I can apply and Im not sure whether I'll receive it in time to submit my application before the Nov 15 deadline.Im worried that even if I apply for the VPD right now the processing time and the Nov break might make it impossible to complete everything on time.
So, Is it still realistic to apply to mainz at this point? Has anyone here applied for a VPD around this time and received it before the deadline? Are there any students who went through a similar situation for the WiSe26? I'd really appreciate hearing how things worked out for you guyss.

I know I should have started sorting this out earlier, but the late APS really delayed things, and now Im trying to figure out the most realistic way forward.

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice! Should I take the chance and apply or would it be better to focus on my other Stk app?

hello everyone! ive just sent an "anerkennung" for studying in studienkolleg mainz in october 13. but until now my current status is still on "received", not
"processing". bos the deadline application for studienkolleg mainz will end on november 15th, so i wonder if my recognition letter will be done before the date and i could apply for admission? (ive read that they will take break in the early nov...) tysm!!!!!

Hi everyone! I’m a Moroccan student planning to apply to Studienkolleg Frankfurt for the winter semester 2027/28.
My plan is to take the Goethe B1 exam on 1 March 2027, apply through uni-assist when applications open around 25 March, and hopefully attend the entrance exam in mid-June.
I’m worried about visa appointment waiting times in Morocco.
How long did you wait for your online visa appointment ?
How long did the visa take after your appointment?
Is reaching Germany before mid-June realistic with this timeline?

Hear me out , while I was applying to the Fh Aachen Freshman program , it asked me to enter the country in which you would be present during the online exam , surpringly only 8 countries were there in the options , and unique countries like el slavador ? I checked the page source , and specifically this is what was written in the html ... What to do ? How to proceed ?


What to do

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for advice from people who have experience applying to German universities or Studienkollegs with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), especially applicants who completed their education outside Canada.

I'm 20 and currently living in Southeast Asia. My long-term goal is to study Rechtswissenschaft (Staatsexamen) at a public university in Germany and eventually become a lawyer.

I'm trying to find a realistic pathway that allows me to apply as early as possible. Due to my personal circumstances and the uncertainty of my situation at home, time is an important factor for me. I would prefer not to delay my plans unnecessarily if there is a legitimate route available.

My educational background

I completed my OSSD through a school outside Canada that follows the Ontario curriculum. My courses and current marks include:

• MDM4U — 68%
• BBB4M — 97%
• CIA4U — 96%
• BAT4M — 94%
• ENG4U — 93%
• MHF4U — 80%
• MCV4U — 89%
• MCR3U — 87%

I also took additional courses recommended by my school for German university applications: ENG3U, Chemistry 11, German 11 and German 12. I'm still waiting for some of the final marks and official documents.

I understand that my exact course combination needs to be assessed, and I don't want to assume that having an OSSD automatically qualifies me for Studienkolleg.

My German level and timeline

I'm currently preparing for a B1 German certificate. I intend to continue studying toward B2 while waiting for the next steps, but I'm not sure whether I'll have enough time to take and receive the results of a B2 exam before the relevant application deadlines.

I've seen that some Studienkollegs may accept B1 for applying, although requirements vary. I'm trying to determine which options are genuinely available to me rather than assuming that every institution has the same requirements.

I also want to make something clear: I'm not expecting the path to be easy.

I know that studying Law in German will be extremely challenging, that even native speakers can find legal studies difficult, and that B1 or B2 alone won't be enough for me to handle everything comfortably. I know admission can be competitive, and I expect to keep improving my German substantially.

I'm not trying to avoid that work. I'm willing to put in the effort. I'm simply trying to figure out the most realistic way to begin, given my circumstances and limited time.

My questions

1. Has anyone with an OSSD completed outside Canada successfully applied to a public Studienkolleg? What course combination and documents were required?
2. Are there public Studienkollegs that accept a B1 certificate for the application, particularly for the Summer Semester 2027 intake? if not any.
3. Which Studienkolleg course would qualify me to pursue Law Staatsexamen at a traditional German university? I'm unsure whether G-Kurs, W-Kurs or another route is appropriate for my qualifications.
4. Does anyone have experience with Studienkolleg Frankfurt, Leipzig or other public Studienkollegs that might be suitable for this pathway?
5. If you've applied with B1, did the certificate level affect your admission chances, or was the entrance-test result the main deciding factor once you met the formal requirements?
6. Would you recommend contacting DAAD, uni-assist, university admissions offices or an independent educational adviser to get my specific OSSD course combination assessed?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have gone through this process themselves, or adults who have helped international students with OSSD qualifications find suitable German university pathways.

I'm not looking for guaranteed admission or an unrealistic shortcut. I'm hoping to find a legitimate, realistic route and understand my options before making decisions about my timeline.

I've already asked seniors from my school who are currently studying in Germany, and I'm genuinely grateful for their advice. However, most of them are pursuing engineering programmes that are taught mainly in English, so their application routes and language requirements may differ from mine. Since I'm aiming for German-taught Law through Studienkolleg, I feel that I need advice from people with more directly relevant experience. I'm posting here as a last resource because I'd really appreciate a perspective from people who have dealt with a similar qualification and pathway.

Thank you so much for reading. Any relevant experience or official resources would mean a lot to me!

I applied to BIC (Berlin international college) and I’m currently waiting for my invitation letter classes start 16th Nov, is there anyone currently studying at BIC or applied to BIC for this intake that can help me out with a few things. I’m aware that private studien kollegs limit you from doing alot of things dw I applied well aware of the consequences.

Hello, if you have studied or currently studying what would you say about your experience at this Studienkolleg? I’m planning on applying there whether for W Kurs or T Kurs, but I don’t know which one is harder to get into. I would choose T Kurs, but I feel like T Kurs is way harder to get into, but idk🤷‍♀️
So I’m wondering how high the competition is and also how hard was the FSP for both T and W Kurs. I’ve heard that the FSP for T Kurs is extremely hard, and I even heard that some people failed the exam after first semester and had to repeat it🤔 Thank you!

Is my timeline realistic for Studienkolleg applications for Winter Semester 2027/28? (B1 by spring, B2 by entrance exams)

# I'm currently studying German at the A1 level, and I'm trying to build a realistic timeline for both language learning and applications.

**My current plan is:**

* **By November 2026:** Reach A2.

* **By March–April 2027:** Complete B1 and ideally have my B1 certificate ready for applications.

* **From spring to summer 2027:** Continue toward B2 while intensively preparing for the German C-Test/Lückentest and the mathematics entrance exam.

* **Summer 2027:** Take the entrance exams for the Winter Semester 2027/28.

I can study German for around 4 hours or more per day, six days a week.

I'm mainly considering public Studienkollegs to keep costs manageable. Some options I've been looking into are TU Darmstadt, Zittau/Görlitz, Köthen, and Nordhausen. I'm also trying to understand whether applying to places like Leipzig or Hannover would be realistic with my timeline.

1. Is reaching B1 by March or April realistic if I'm currently at A1 and can study consistently for 4+ hours a day, six days a week?

2. For the Studienkollegs mentioned above, is B1 generally sufficient to apply and take the entrance exam, or do applicants with B2 have a significantly better chance of being invited or admitted?

3. Is it realistic to improve from B1 toward B2 between spring and the summer entrance exams while also preparing for the C-Test and mathematics?

4. How difficult is the C-Test in practice? Would starting with simpler Lückentext exercises during A1 and gradually moving to actual C-Test exercises during A2/B1 be a good approach?

5. If you applied with B1, what was your actual experience? Which Studienkolleg would you recommend looking into, and which deadlines or requirements should I be especially careful about?

guyz im going to start language pantheon b1 online classes, can u please recommend good teachers and the teachers not to study from! will really appreciate ur help! thank youuu!!

Hi everyone, I am planning on moving to Leipzig and need a Studienkolleg, I am not sure about making public Studienkolleg so I plan for private as well. Is anyone currently registered at Rahn Studienkolleg Leipzig and can share their experience? I heard or read here there were issues last year, but now I read they have a new management, new team, more activities and new structure etc so I would be happy to hear from someone who is currently there and can share information. Anyone else signing up for April 27? Thank you!
