To study at a German university you need:
- university entrance qualification
- good German language skills (90% of all courses are in German)
If you did not go to a German school, you probably do not have a direct university entrance qualification (a certificate that allows you to study in Germany) and have to take a
subject-specific assessment test.

exams. Check here if your school leaving certificate meets the requirements to study in Germany without a Studienkolleg:
