Classification of preparatory courses in Germany

The preparatory courses in Germany can be divided into private preparatory courses and public preparatory courses according to the sources of funds.

Introduction to public preparatory courses in Germany

The public preparatory course is invested by the state government, so the preparatory course established by each state, although located under a university, does not belong to the university in essence, but belongs to the state government and belongs to the university of the whole state. For example, the preparatory course in Saxony is in Leipzig, and the T-kurs in Baden is in Karlsruhe. When you apply for a university in Saxony, you need to attend the preparatory course, and you will be automatically sent to the Saxony preparatory course in Leipzig.

Introduction to private preparatory courses in Germany

Private preparatory courses are mainly funded by student tuition fees. For example, Tudias, a preparatory course in Dresden, costs one semester 1900 euros. But it was recognized by Germany.

Preparatory courses can also be classified according to the types of preparatory courses. Divided into FH preparatory course and two-way preparatory course.

Introduction of FH preparatory course in Germany

FH preparatory course, such as FH Kiel's preparatory course, can only apply for German FH (Universities of Applied Sciences) after attending his preparatory course. Strictly speaking, Universities of Applied Sciences (FH) in Germany is not a university (Uni), but two forms of German universities. Generally, the certificate of completion will say fuer alle Fachhochschulen.

Introduction of Two-way Preparatory Courses in Germany

Such as Thuringia, Hamburg and so on. But in some big states, such as Baden and Bayern, this division is more obvious. For example, in Baden, FH preparatory course is located in konstanz near Boden Lake, Uni preparatory course is located in Karlsruhe where Kit is located, and M, W and G are located in Heidelberg, the oldest German university.
