How does the Studienkolleg Feststellungsprüfung process work?

✓ Answered · 2 min read · How-to · 154 views

The Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) is the final exam at the end of the two-semester Studienkolleg, covering German plus two subjects of your course. For applicants on the Studienkolleg route, it is the last step before applying for a bachelor's programme.

How the exam is set up

  • It takes place at the end of the Studienkolleg under the KMK framework.
  • Subjects: German + two subjects of your course type. Course types are T, M, W, G and S at universities and TI, WW, GD, SW and DÜ at Fachhochschulen. Your course determines which two subjects are examined.

How your grade is calculated

  • Your Turkish school grade is converted with the modified Bavarian formula.
  • Your overall grade is the mean of that converted grade and your FSP grade.

If you fail

  • You can repeat the FSP once.

After the FSP

  • Passing does not guarantee admission. You still apply to the university before its deadline, and the university decides.
  • An FSP from a Fachhochschule Studienkolleg does not give access to a university (Universität), so choose your course with that in mind.
  • TestAS does not replace the FSP or exempt you from the Studienkolleg.
