We are a partner of the DAAD programme ‘VORsprung’. This programme offers international prospective students digital preparation for a bachelor's degree in science and technology in Germany. The free online course is aimed at participants with German level B2 without a direct university entrance qualification. The programme can be completed entirely from your home country, including the TestAS and TestDaF examinations. In contrast to a Studienkolleg, travelling to Germany is not required. After successfully completing the programme and both examinations, participants can apply directly to our university.
