After successfully completing our programme, Studienbrücke graduates can immediately embark on a degree in STEM subjects or economics at our renowned partner universities, which make a certain number of places available for them each year.
With the introduction of the alternative university entrance qualification, prospective students can now start studying as soon as they have passed a scholastic aptitude test (TestAS). To qualify for this, they must attend the preparatory Studienbrücke course in their home country. This means:
- completing the preparatory modules in the Studienbrücke programme
- passing TestDaF with 4 x 4 points in the test levels, or a total of 16 points (depending on the university)
- passing TestAS with a minimum of 100 points
Subjects
Our partner universities (in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and Thuringia) offer successful graduates of the Studienbrücke programme a wide range of undergraduate courses in the STEM subjects and economics, making a certain number of places available for them every year.
