Why I study Medicine & Psychology

Hi, Thank you for your message. In Germany, most degree programs—both Bachelor’s and Master’s—have a standard duration of several years. Bachelor’s programs usually take around three to four years, while Master’s programs typically take about two years. One-year degree programs are therefore generally not common.

Hi, If you want to study at a German higher education institution, you need what is called a “Hochschulzugangsberechtigung” – or “university entrance qualification”. This is a school-leaving certificate which qualifies you for university study. If your school-leaving certificate is not recognised as equivalent to the German Abitur (secondary school leaving certificate which allows access to university studies in Germany), you can still study at a German university by participating in a “Studienkolleg” (foundation course). The Studienkolleg is a preparatory course for academic studies at a university. Good German language skills are required, as German is spoken in all courses. To gain admission to a foundation course, you must first pass an entrance examination. Participation in the course is usually free of charge. Foundation courses take one year to complete and end with the “Feststellungsprüfung” (university qualification assessment examination). On our website, you can find more information on foundation courses 👉 https://www.study-in-germany.com/en/plan-your-studies/requirements/prep-foundation-courses/.
