Hello, i am a very unique mature prospective student, i am planning to go to med school in germany in 2 or so years however i have graduated high school 10 years ago with subjects that are not related to medicine and was wondering if i can attend Studienkolleg to get my German on required level as well as having to avoid self studying for a whole new set of A-levels at age of 30 whilist working full time job.
I understand above is confusing so please feel free to reach out to me for clarifications
Hi, it is confusing, and without mathematics-Chemistry-Biology subjects studied in high school one will not qualify for a medicine study at a German public university.
Is the Studienkolleg located at the university?
Or does the studienkolleg cooperate with the university just for registration?
Hi, some Studienkolleg/s belong to the universities, approved by the universities and private Studienkolleg/s. You can choose it according to your overall background and requirements.
Is it possible to study in Germany without going through studienkolleg? And can we join studienkolleg by only giving an English certificate such as GAC? (Global Assessment Certificate).
Hi, if you have completed your high school studies under a national curriculum, you must attend a Studienkolleg to eventually qualify for a degree program in Germany.
Most Studienkollgs are in German and therefore German language. Level of B1/B2 is mandatorily required to attend a Studienkolleg. For a few English-taught degree courses, such as B.E. in Mechatronics/Robotics/Logistics/Business and Engineering, a preparatory program/Studienkolleg is offered in English for which German language skills are not required.
Hi, what is the semester fees for studienkolleg in Glauchau.

Still, it’s decided while accepting your application, considering your overall qualifications, eligibility, and readiness. It’s highly advised to contact the Studienkolleg and let them know your current and previous qualifications.
Can I study English taught program after completing public studientkolleg?
And second can I get admission after A2 level?
Hi, the answer to both of your questions is a YES!
Hi, For getting admission in studienkolleg, do i have to give an entrance exam and if Yes, is it necessary to attend it on site like is there any option of attending test online. Because once i get my admission letter thats how i will aplly for a visa
Dear Ahmed,
You must attend the Studienkolleg entrance exam in person without any difference between private and public Studienkolleg. But to apply for a visa, you don’t need to take the test. You require conditional admission for a bachelor’s degree and another letter of offer for language learning, which leads to a Foundation year program.

hey can you pls tell me about public studienkolleg that provide english taught programs and what will be their requirements
Hi, there are no public funded Studienkollegs offering English-Taught Foundation programs in Germany. The English taught preparatory programs are offered at privately run preparatory schools or Studienkollegs and that programs are specifically for an individual university and courses!
For example; there is an English-Taught T Course offered at a private preparatory school which is recognised by a public university for pursuing 4-5 Engineering programs such as in Applied Mathematics, Robotics, Mechatronics, Business and Engineering, Logistics etc.
