r/studienkolleg

Can anyone plz help me regarding visa. I had recieved my courier from Mumbai consulate yesterday but in courier their was only passport and they also sent a letter stating that I was not able to convey my b1 language as I have mentioned. At consulate I was really nervous that made me fumble but now my visa is regected. Should I apply again on csp portal or can I apply in VFS delhi as i have rent agreement of 9 months. But I guess they will ask me that why I have changed the jurisdiction after rejection. It would be really helpful if someone can give me a solution for this problem 🙏

Could you guys recommend me any private Studentskollieg (As a safety, ofcourse, if in any case I don't pass the public STK exam) to maximize my chance of getting a good score in the Festellungprufung.

Hallo an alle!

Wer hat den Aufnahmetest in Konstanz oder Bad Mergentheim vor einer Woche geschrieben?

Habt ihr eine Antwort oder Einladung zum Gespräch bekommen? Würde mich freuen, mit euch zu verbinden

Upd: ich habe die Einladung heute bekommen, Gespräch wird am 7. Juli durchgeführt (ich habe BM gewählt)

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the German language certification process.

If someone studies German on their own or through a language institute and reaches a genuine B2 level, is it possible to directly register for and take the B2 exam without first taking the A1 and A2 exams?

Or is it mandatory to pass A1, then A2, then B1 before you’re allowed to sit for the B2 exam?

I’m mainly asking about official exams such as Goethe, telc, or other widely recognized German language certificates.

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has done this or knows the official rules. Thanks!

The results for the Phillips uni of marburg ( 2026/2027) winter semester arevout today. Has anyone received an admission offer? If yes, could you please share your marks and qualifications.

I’m planning on doing Studienkolleg next year and my family will be able to provide the 12k amount for the first year. However i’m more concerned as to how i will renew my visa and provide proof of funds for the year after it, because i’ve seen some people say that you’re not allowed to work during your Studienkolleg year or that it depends on the Ausländerbehörde of ur respective City/Town. So can i work Teilzeit during my Stk year and use that as alternative to the blocked account amount for the second year? What will my options be? I think my family will still be able to partially support me for the years after but they definitely won’t be able to provide the full 12k amount each year. That’s why i was considering on relying on part time work + Saving and living frugally + partial support from my family.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to check in with others who wrote the Konstanz exam this WS26. I heard that interview invitations have already started going out for applicants who chose Konstanz as their first priority, and I believe some of those interviews have already taken place.

However, I haven't been able to find anyone who chose Bad Mergentheim as their first priority who has received an interview invitation yet (at least not that I know of).

If you selected Bad Mergentheim as your first choice, have you received an interview invite via email, or are you still waiting?

I already asked on Discord as well, but I didn't hear back from anyone, so I thought I'd ask here.

I'd also love to hear and get in touch with anyone else who also chose Bad Mergentheim so we can keep each other updated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just got my results for TestAS Digital Medicine. Since I’m applying to uni Köln, where the score is super important, I was wondering if you’re comfortable sharing how did you all score? I know it’s competitive, so I just want to get a sense of where I stand. Thanks so much!

My results:
100% Kern

Ich sitze hier und schaue auf das Ablaufdatum von meinem Visum von der Ausländerbehörde und fühle mich einfach komplett leer. Letztes Jahr habe ich die öffentliche Aufnahmeprüfung nicht geschafft, bin total in Panik geraten und habe mich dann für ein privates stk beworben. Ich habe über 7000 Euro für dieses studeinkolleg bezahlt, weil die Online-Bewertungen so unglaublich gut aussahen. DO NOT glaubt diesen Bewertungen!

Die haben eine super Vorbereitung für das Wintersemester versprochen. Die Realität? Die „Lehrer“ sind literally einfach nur 20-jährige Bachelor-Studenten. Ich habe für diese komplett überteuerten Kurse bezahlt, aber wir haben absolut keine Materialien bekommen. Keine PDFs, keine Bücher, gar nichts. Am Ende saß ich jede einzelne Nacht in meinem Wohnheim und habe FSP-Themen in AI eingegeben und mir Mathe und Physik von null selbst beigebracht, nur um irgendwie durchzukommen.

Das Schlimmste ist diese interne Vorprüfung. Die fallen dort absichtlich 80% der Gruppe durch, damit du nicht mal zur echten FSP zugelassen wirst. Jetzt ist mein ganzes Geld weg, ich stehe vor der Abschiebung, und es war alles ein SCAM. NEVER trust these private places. Wartet einfach und besteht die öffentliche Aufnahmeprüfung. Als normaler Student im stk ist es schon stressig genug, lasst euch nicht auch noch eure Zukunft stehlen.

What do ppl do after they fail the aufnahmeprüfung? I'll be applying in summer intake for stk in tkurs but I have deep anxiety of failing the aufnahmeprüfung. So I wanna know what ppl do if they can't make it to stk? Instead of waiting for the next intake

What percentage of applicants pass the exam?

I have passed B2 german exam in February and now prepare for Maths exam. I plan to apply in München.

However I really worry that I'm not good enough and may not pass it. What do you guys think? Did many of you got rejected after Aufnahmeprüfung?

Thanks for your replies.

Hey people,
basically what the title says. I'm going to be appearing for the ANPs at Karlsruhe, Munich and Heidelberg for this winter semester and although I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, I'm really running out of practice material to stay fresh. So far, I've solved just the MZL-Books and have an average of about 45-ish points in book 2, along with solving like 10ish ANPs from various STKs that were released in the last twenty years.

I've started solving the Blaue for general grammar revision for C1 and B2 but, well, I'm kind of out of resources. It's been a while since I completed Grammar for all the levels and my general non-exam based resources are somewhat exhausted. I have some in mind for more preparation, but I'd rather go through things others have in mind as well and also expand my info base here. Figured I could just ask someone who'd be interested in doing the same, that way we can just stay connected and discuss preparation materials till we clear our exams.

I'll delete the post when I find someone. Going for T-Kurs.

Hi everyone,
I applied W-Kurs in Germany

- Mettingen- Marburg
Does anyone have experience with these Studienkollegs?

Which one would you recommend regarding:
quality of teaching difficulty of the FSP
reputation / university chances afterward

I would really appreciate any experiences

Hi,

I was invited to the online interview for the T-Kurs at HTWG Konstanz.

Has anyone done it before? What kind of questions did they ask?

Thanks!

I have deep anxiety about failing the Aufnahmeprüfung. I've read lots of stories online about how competitive the exams are, but I'm unsure whether that's is the case considering that admission to regular universities isn't as competitive. Maybe it's just private Studienkollegs trying to sell their services?

Welche ist besser?
Marburg stk und mettingen?

hi, i recently got my Visa, but the entry date is way later than i expected because of my insurance and Zulassung. Im thinking about reapplying for a new Visa with an earlier entry date so i dont miss out on other earlier entrance tests.

Have anyone been this situation before? I rly need advices🙏🏼

Hey guys! I completed the Konstanz Aufnahme on 26th June, 2026, and decided I'd make a short post about it for future students who might want to know more about what it's like
(please read with caution, because things might've changed since writing this post)

So first off, I recommend attending the exam orientation. They'll send an email about it, and there's about 3 separate days you can attend it (iirc). It'll show you how to start preparing on viaMINT, how to join the exam through Moodle, etc.

The subjects included in the exam are: German, Physics, and Mathematics
You'll be tested in B1 level in German, and 5 chapters in Physics and Mathematics. recommend starting preparation at least 3-4 weeks beforehand, because in each chapter there are SO many videos.
During the exam, you're allowed a formula sheet in Mathematics and Physics. The math formula sheet is given, you'll find it on Moodle. For physics, you can write your own.

On the exam day, you're expected to use a mobile phone/something similar to join the meeting, and your laptop for the exam. The camera should show your hands, book/sheet you're writing on, and the laptop. Please check beforehand whether you're able to join the meeting, since I couldn't join Webex from my phone or tablet, and ended up using another laptop.

We started with the math exam, and it was not very difficult. I'd say it was easier than some questions I did on viaMINT.
After that, we did the German exam. They made us write a short text on our current situation, followed by a dictation test. Then they told us about a conflict, and we had to describe it in writing, and how we'd solve it. Then we had to describe a picture, and at the end it was the C-test.
And lastly, we had the physics exam. I was really scared for this one, since I'm not very good at physics. But it was much much easier than expected, and I didn't use my formula sheet much other than looking for conversion values. The formulae are hinted in the question itself.

If you do well on the German writing test, you're invited for an interview. I got an invitation earlier today, so I'll update here about what happens.

Update about interview: It was a very simple interview. They asked me about my plans after Studienkolleg and what my goals are with my subject. They asked me some questions that were similar to ANP, and then asked me to show my ID.

Viel Erfolg!

Hey, I'm thinking about going the CBS prep4uni w-course with English route. I was wondering if it is even a legitimate way? I am planning to work on my German as well.

Also I've heard about there spftlauch of there campus in Delhi where they will let you attend 1 semester in Delhi and the next semester in Cologne, Germany. I looked into them they seem fine for a private one,the qualification is formally recognized primarily within North Rhine-Westphalia region.
