Foundation Year (Studienkolleg) Bachelor Programs in Germany with Admission Restriction — Numerus Clausus/NC (2026/27)
Foundation Year (Studienkolleg) Bachelor NC
A Studienkolleg (foundation year) prepares international applicants whose school-leaving certificate does not give direct access to German universities. Over two semesters, students take subject-specific courses – for example for technology, business or medicine – along with intensive German, and finish with the Feststellungsprüfung (assessment test). Passing it grants access to degree programmes in the corresponding subject area in Germany.
Most Selective Foundation Year (Studienkolleg) Bachelor Programs
For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
