Perhaps you would like to study at Universität Hamburg but your foreign higher education entry qualification (Abitur) doesn't qualify you to do so.

In this case, you need to take an assessment test (officially, the Examination to Assess Aptitude of Foreign Applicants for Acceptance to an Institution of Higher Education in the Federal Republic of Germany). This exam demonstrates that you have the language skills and fulfill the subject requirements for study at a German university.

The Studienkolleg Hamburg offers applicants with foreign secondary school leaving degrees year-long courses (language of instruction: German) to prepare for the assessment test.  You can focus on a specific subject depending upon the program for which you intend to apply.

The Studienkolleg Hamburg can provide information about curricula, course dates and times, participation requirements and application deadlines.

If you pass the assessment test, you can apply for your subject of choice at Universität Hamburg.

A passing assessment test is also recognized by Universität Hamburg as proof of sufficient German language skills.
