The courses last two semesters and can be started twice per year in winter or summer.

ROAD MAP
The Road Map below outlines the two pathways to universities – one direct and one with pre-university Studienkolleg (1 year)
Direct Access to university
Direct application to the Studienkolleg is possible; if you doc-ument knowledge of German with TestDaF and if your High School Diploma is accepted as equivalent to the German Abitur.
Indirect Access via Studienkolleg
Whether you need to do Studienkolleg or not, we will tell you after having your documents checked by the university.
1. ADMISSIONS TEST
Before admission to the Studienkolleg you are required to pass an examination in German and, in the case of technical, mathematical and natural science courses, a mathematical examination. These tests can be sat either in the beginning of September or January. As a rule, the admission test takes place two weeks before the beginning of Studienkolleg.
Depending on the desired direction of study, you are re-quired to take one of the main courses on offer at Studien-kolleg:
• T-course: for technical, mathematical and natural science courses
• M-course: for medical and biological science courses
• W-course: for economic and social science courses
• G-course: for humanities, language and art course
2. STUDENT STATUS
The courses at Studienkolleg start in February and in Septem-ber. After being admitted to Studienkolleg, you are enrolled as a university student with the special student status for doing an ‘academic bridging course’ (Vorbereitungsstudium). After having successfully completed ‘Feststellungsprüfung’ (i.e. the final exam of Studienkolleg), you can apply to all German uni-versities to be accepted as a regular student in courses that relate to the relevant course type at Studienkolleg.
3. VISA REQUIREMENTS
Please bear in mind that the issuing of a student applicant visa (Studienbewerbervisum) can take up to three months. Stu-dents cannot take up Studienkolleg with a ‘tourist visa’ or a ‘Schengen visa’. For the visa you also need to open a locked bank account which we will help you with.
For the visa you need the following:
• Our course confirmation and invoice
• Our invitation letter
• A health insurance
• A conditional letter from a university
• A locked bank account
• Proof of health insurance
4. ATTENDANCE, EXAMS
Studienkolleg courses are full time courses and the academ-ic demands are rigorous. Classes are mainly scheduled in the mornings. Attendance and performance are monitored - in case of irregular attendance or unsatisfactory performance in the continuous assessment students can be removed which entails the loss of their student status.
5. FINAL EXAM
The final exam is either between June and July or between December and January depending on which semester you started the Studienkolleg course.

longua.org will check your documents. We will tell you if your High School Diploma grants you immediate access to a German university or if you will have to do the Studienkolleg (1 year). We will also tell you how many months of German course you will need, how much you would have to pay and how to go about your visa application.

Having received your payment and documents, Longua.org will send you:
a) a conditional acceptance letter issued by a German university cooperating with us and
b) an invitation letter for the language course at Longua.org.
You need both documents to apply for a student applicant visa. The student applicant visa grants status right away – with this visa you can stay up to 12 months in Germany to learn German and prepare yourself for university studies, and having done that you can switch to a student visa without having to leave Germany again.

Once you are in Berlin, Munich or Cologne and do your German course with us, we offer weekly consultations and assistance. If your visa permits it, you can but do not have to attend the university that issued the conditional acceptance for you. You can also apply for other universities and in case you would like to do so Longua.org will support you.
