Test for Academic Studies (TestAS)
TestAS is an examination, which helps prospective applicants
to study in German HEIs and
perceive their ability to meet specific programme criteria. The results of this test also serve as
help when it comes to choosing a study programme. Passing this test successfully also
increases the chances of getting admission to German universities. A great thing about this
test is that applicants can realistically assess their chances of finishing a degree programme.
You can find more information on TestAS and its fees and assessment
periods on the official

Foundation courses (“Studienkolleg”)
These courses are aimed at candidates whose education is not recognized in Germany.
Specifically, if your earlier education is not recognized in Germany, you are required to take a
qualification assessment examination known as “Feststellungsprüfung”.
To prepare for this,
you can enter a foundation course, “Studienkolleg”, in order to properly prepare for the
examination.
Courses are offered on subject specific areas, usually lasting up to 2 semesters, typically
offered for free by universities. Usually students undergo the examination 1 year after the
beginning of the course. But if they show an above-average achievement during the course,
they may enter the examination after one semester as well.
Students willing
to get enrolled in this course, must have at least German language
proficiency B1 level
–
Common European Framework Reference for Languages. Upon
successfully passing the examination, students will qualify as legitimate applicants to enter
higher education institutions in Germany.

2.7.3. Proving Your German Language Proficiency
The majority of German universities offer study programmes in German language, therefore,
German language proficiency is necessary if you choose to apply for your studies in such
programmes.
However, this does not apply to several international programmes, which have English only
study programmes. In addition, some universities do not
require knowledge of German
language for students who are on an exchange experience for a semester or two.
In addition, some universities offer a combination of programmes of English and German
languages and in such cases, English and German language proficiency is necessary.
