Application Tip #76
If I have not taken any AP courses, does my high school diploma alone automatically qualify me for entrance to a
Studienkolleg
?
Not necessarily. There are also specific subject requirements that applicants need to have completed in order to gain admission to the
Studienkolleg
. Applicants can complete courses at a recognized university to substitute for any missing courses.
