The Studienkolleg programme is aimed at foreign applicants who do not have direct access to higher education in Germany with their home country certificate. The Studienkolleg at Kiel University of Applied Sciences continues to offer courses for refugees. All interested refugees can register and take the entrance test. Places are allocated on the basis of the results of the entrance test, just as for all other applicants. Successful participants are given the opportunity to fulfil the requirements for studying at a German University of Applied Sciences by attending the college.

Interested? The preparatory college (Studienkolleg) is glad to help!

The ‘Welcome’ mentoring programme is aimed at prospective students and students with a refugee background. Our aim is to offer these people qualified support from experienced students at Kiel University of Applied Sciences. Our mentors are on hand to offer advice and support to participants, accompany them in their day-to-day studies, help them find their way around the university and offer support with academic and social challenges.

Through this mentoring programme, we want to make it easier for refugees to start their studies and promote their inclusion in everyday university life. We believe in the transformative power of education and are convinced that individualized support enriches the study experience for everyone involved.

The ‘Bildungsbrücke: Language, Exchange, Integration’ cafés are regular meetings at Kiel University of Applied Sciences that serve as a platform for exchange, language development and integration. Here we offer a relaxed and informal atmosphere in which contacts can be made and language skills improved.

These meetings are a valuable opportunity to socialize with other people, make new friends and integrate into the community. Through interactive discussions and activities on topics such as education, subjects, culture and science, we promote not only language skills, but also understanding and tolerance of different cultures and backgrounds.

We warmly invite anyone from a refugee background to participate and join us in our language development and integration initiative.

The date, time and all other necessary information will be added here in future.
