...moreAssessment test
The Cologne district government has commissioned the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, Studienkolleg NRW, to carry out the assessment test, i.e.
- We carry out the assessment test at Fresenius University of Applied Sciences on behalf of the district government directly after the preparatory courses.
- You do not have to apply again externally to the district government; you are already pre-registered for the assessment test when you enroll at our preparatory college.
- Your qualified lecturers at the Studienkolleg NRW will also take the assessment test in coordination with the district government and can therefore optimally prepare you for it.
- The assessment test is officially recognized by the state. After passing the assessment test in German, you can apply for a bachelor’s degree program anywhere in Germany; The assessment test in English basically enables you to study in English in North Rhine-Westphalia.
If you do not have a direct university entrance qualification for Germany, you will usually first have to take the assessment test. Further information about the assessment test can be found on the Cologne district government website:
