Apply for your studies in two steps

Step 1: Get diplomas/ certificates recognized

Step 2: Apply to your target universities

Before you can apply to study at a university of applied sciences in Baden- Württemberg, you first need to have your certificates recognized. This recognition is done by us, the Center for international Studients (Studienkolleg) and is free of charge. You can apply to have your documents recognized at any time. However, please note, that the process often takes a few weeks. Keep this in mind in terms of the universities’ application deadlines.

The Studienkolleg makes its decisions based on the guidelines from the Central Office for Foreign Education ("ZaB").

If your previous diplomas / certificates do not entitle you to study at an institute of higher education, you have the option of gaining these prerequisites by attending the Studienkolleg’s two-semester preparatory programs.

After completing this program, you must then pass a kind of final exam called the “Feststellungsprüfung” before you can apply to a university.
