Do you need to attend a Studienkolleg?

Your foreign school certificate or your previous qualification will determine whether you are eligible for direct entrance to for Bachelors in German University or you will need to attend a one-year preparatory course (Studienkolleg) and pass a university entrance exam (Feststellungsprüfung).

“anabin” database can be used to find out how your foreign school certificate or your previous qualification will be evaluated in Germany. The database is managed by German government’s Kultusministerkonferenz – Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen.

Note that the anabin database is not exhaustive. Therefore, it can be that your certificate/qualification is not yet listed by anabin. This doesn’t mean that your certificate will not be honored. It just means that no decision has been made yet.
