Preparatory Courses
What is a preparatory course?
Our preparatory courses (also called foundation course) prepare you for the external university qualification assessment test (the “Feststellungsprüfung” or FSP) of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. You can choose between T-Course, M-Course, W-Course and G-Course. The FSP-test is mandatory for foreign students who want to apply for a university place in Germany. The test is administered twice a year by the district government of Cologne, in May and in November. The grades obtained in the FSP are an admission criterion for university applications, together with the grades of your school-leaving qualification.
