Access to the Studienkolleg

You cannot apply directly to the Studienkolleg Nordhausen, you must first apply to a college or university in Thuringia. Your certificates (University entrance qualification from the home country) and language certificates (at least level B1) has been tested.

The university/college will then decide whether you have to take a German language test (DSH) or the assessment test at a preparatory college.

Please send your application documents not to the Studienkolleg in Nordhausen!

You will receive conditional admission to the degree programme from the university/college.

An additional invitation from the Studienkolleg is not usually sent out. With conditional admission, you will then take part in the entrance test for the Studienkolleg Nordhausen; if you pass this and are offered a place, you can study at the Studienkolleg. However, you will need to register on our website in advance to take the entrance test.

With conditional admission, you can go to the embassy in your home country and apply for a student visa.
