                                       What Is "Studienkolleg" 

If your high school certificate is not sufficient to allow you to study in a German undergraduate programme, you have the possibility to take a one-year course at a Studienkolleg at the end of which you take an aptitude test [Feststellungsprüfung]. With this qualification you can apply for a place in an undergraduate degree programme. The Studienkolleg offers different courses and you should choose a course that prepares you for the degree programme you intend to study:

T-course: for the degree programmes Architecture, Construction, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Geology, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Mineralogy, Wood Science
W-course: for the degree programmes Economics and Business Administration, Law and Political Science, Sociology, Geography, Psychology
M-course: for the degree programmes Medicine, Pharmacy, Biology, Psychology, Sport, Forestry and Agricultural Sciences, Anthropology
G-course: for the degree programmes German, History, Art, Philosophy, Legal Studies, Education and Politics, Theology, Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology, Geography

In short a "Studienkolleg" is a 1 year preparatory course,it must be done to equal your High School leaving Certificate with German "Abitur".
