The teaching of the core courses prepares you for the university entrance exam (FSP).
Depending on the degree programme you are aiming for, the courses are divided into the subject areas of technology, medicine, economics, social sciences and language.
After you have applied to a university in Lower Saxony and successfully passed the entrance test, you will start attending the core courses. The course at the Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg usually lasts one year (2 semesters). A semester can be repeated a maximum of once.
Students who perform very well in the first semester can be admitted early to the second semester or to a fast-track course. This saves them one semester. At the end of the Kolleg training, the university entrance examination (Feststellungsprüfung) takes place.
