Our courses specially designed for foreign students are tought in english.
As the German grading system differs from most other grading systems, your national certificates (high-school leaving certificates, Bachelor degrees, Master degrees etc.) must be transferred to the German grading system. This is done free of charge at the Institute for International Students (Studienkolleg) in Konstanz. The colleagues from Konstanz will issue the certificate which you will need for your application. See also our fact sheet.
Chinese students must have their documents validated by APS in Beijing.
