The Studienkolleg of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1991. It prepares international students specifically for studying in Germany.
Our aim is to offer all participants the best possible support, regardless of their background, previous education and experience. We teach language and subject-specific basics as well as methods of academic work to ensure a successful start to your studies.
We attach particular importance to personal support, transparent processes and fair opportunities.
The task of the Studienkolleg: We teach you the language and subject-specific skills for your studies, familiarize you with academic methods and take the Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) and the German language test for university entrance.
Uniform standards for your success: Teaching follows a uniform nationwide framework based on the acquisition of specific skills.
Here you can find out which course prepares you for which field of study and which subjects you will learn.
The DSH course is a course to prepare for the German language examination for university admission for foreign applicants (DSH).
Prerequisites for admission to this course are a direct university entrance qualification for a German university, pre-admission to a degree program at a Saxon university and a pass in the entrance test.
The DSH course lasts one semester. The DSH course is taught exclusively in German as a foreign language.
