r/studienkolleg

Hi everyone,

I applied for several M-Kurs Studienkollegs because I want to study Medicine in Germany.

So far I received entrance exam invitations from:

- Mettingen
- Marburg
- Leipzig
- Mainz
- Halle
- Nordhausen

Does anyone have experience with these Studienkollegs?

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

And which entrance exams should I focus on the most?

I would really appreciate any experiences

Hello guys, i write this with tears in my eyes, but hear me out.

I had a blocked account with fintiba, and i came to germany on the 2nd of May.

Unblocked my account, put my iban and waited for Monday.

Come Monday, i didn’t receive my money,

Tuesday, still didn’t receive my money.
Ive been eating salami and bread sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

By Wednesday, i ran out of the money i came to germany with.
the app says that the money has been sent, i call again. They say it could take up-to 5 days.

Thursday, i file a ticket with them.
Friday, still haven’t received my money.

Today Monday, 11th May, i call them in the morning, a sweet woman picks up, apologizes for the inconvenience.
I call in the evening, a man named alex picks up.
Doesn’t even ask for my name or passport number.
He proceeds to yell at me for not being understanding enough, and says “calling everyday won’t accelerate this”.
I tell him, i put money in this account with the guarantee that i would receive it in the first working week.
He says “i cant do anything”. I tell him can i get my money back and put it with Expatrio? He gets even angrier. He says you can get a letter from the federal foreign office and do it. I say but im already here?? He says okay then you just need to wait.
I tell him okay can i consult a lawyer then? He says yes do whatever you want. I ask him why he’s yelling at me, he says “because you threatened us with laywers”.
What else am i supposed to do? Its my money and you say i need to have patience for a “technical issue”? A technical issue that lasts 3-4 working days??
I wonder how many other students are suffering in silence and dont have support systems to survive, i feel very lucky for my parents and brother in that way.

I urge anyone to not make an account with fintiba, pay the extra 80-100 euros and get it with expatrio PLEASE.

And a message to Alex, i will not take peace until you get ousted from the customer service industry
When you eat Salami and bread for days, and then get yelled at for asking for your OWN money, maybe then you’ll realize

I got my class 12 cbse board exam results today

Am I in the safe zone for APS?

Okay long story short i am trying for bachelors in germany but if i want to join public uni studienkolleg i need to have b2 level german right i dont think i can do it by this winter intake and i need to get in this intake so i ended up choosing the private uni path when i met consultant he strongly suggested that i should choose ue (university of europe) portsdam i like that it has a english taught course i have 81.6 percentage in my 12th should i go for it or are there any better universities on the same tution fee range as it does it have the reputation i got a conditional offer letter from them after my consultant applied for me

Hello everyone. Has anyone applied to the Köthen or Nordhausen Studienkollegs? If so, how did you apply? I can't figure out if I need to register at Nordhausen through uni-assist or through their own website. And do I need to send documents directly by Post to Köthen?

Hello,

I recently got accepted into the University of Hamburg for Studienkolleg. But I accidentally sent my confirmation of acceptance a little too late. I was supposed to respond if I accept or reject by 8th May and I only sent it today (11th May) am I fully rejected? And is it too late?

So basically the internet panics about FSP but is it actually that hard

Hello guys! I am an Indian whose pbly gonna be in germany in October or November this year. I just wanted to know where to buy my phone and my laptop. In India or in Germany cuz Ik there are a few differences in laptops with the keyboards and stuff but with the phone I have no idea what to do(warranty, cell service and all). My phone for now is fine and I can pbly use it till the end of this year(its already 6 years old). But I cannot bring the laptop to Germany whatsoever. So should I buy it over here or in Germany and if in Germany do I get benefits(discounts) as a student(gonna go to the private studienkolleg of Paderborn)

I guess an Indian student can help me share their knowledge about the same. I have physics , chem and maths from CBSE board. And I plan to take Biology alone through NIOS ODE. Will this be accepted by the studienkollegs.

1. I emailed uniassist and universities but the kind of response I got is that they can know only after I make an application.
2. APS might not accept dual marksheets, but I don’t plan to apply through APS as I am in Germany already.
3. What is a way I can take my bio exam to be accepted ? Is CBSE the best and safest way ?

I want to pass the Goethe Aufnahmeprüfung, and I am studying from the book Mut zur Lücke B1. I am wondering whether it is enough to pass the exam, because I heard there is another version for C1. Do I also need to study that one, or is the first one enough?

Hallo an alle! Hat sich jemand um STK Bad Mergentheim dieses Jahr beworben?

those who got accepted in Marburg:) Lets get to know each other!

Hi everyone!
I’m currently preparing for the entrance exams (Aufnahmetest) for several Studienkollegs this semester. Since many of them now offer online options, I have a few questions about the technical requirements and the proctoring process.
If you’ve taken an online Aufnahmetest recently, could you share your experience? Specifically:
Camera setup: Do I just need a standard webcam facing me, or do they require a second camera to show my hands/keyboard/desk?
Screen sharing: Do they usually ask you to share your screen during the whole exam?
Environment check: How strict is the "room tour"? Do I need to show the whole room or just the desk area?
Software: Are there any specific proctoring browsers or programs (like Safe Exam Browser) that are commonly used?
General tips: Is there anything "tricky" about the online format that I should be prepared for?
Thanks in advance for the help! Good luck to everyone applying this year

As the title. Am I secured for a study place at STK Kassel?

So my current situation,I need to do a year of uni in a college in my country to be able to attend studienkolleg and I need help to know if by any chance I can skip that first college year here even if it is through private studienkollegs

Hey guys, does anyone remember what topics were on the math entrance exam for the Studienkolleg M-course? Would really appreciate any info.
