Our college is an institute for international university applicants. In addition to conveying specialised knowledge, the classes promote the acquisition of general and specialist competences and language proficiency fundamental for successfully completing a degree programme. These competences are tailored to the requirements of university studies in Germany in order to guarantee sustainable studying ability.

• General competences for a degree programme
• Language proficiency for a degree programme
• Subject competences

We teach German, mathematics, computer science, English, physics and chemistry. Final exam subjects include German, physics and mathematics. The certificate examination is carried out at our location in Jena in June and December. It consists of written and some oral parts.

Once you have passed the final examination, the way to a degree in Germany is clear. Your advantage if you decide to take a course at the Thüringen Study Centre: The examination takes place locally as an internal exam. In other institutions, only an external examination is prepared, which must then be taken by the district government. This is not the case with the Thüringen Study Centre, where internal degrees are recognised, and we have a high rate of success.
