School graduates from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus do not have direct access to study at German universities. To fulfill the conditions for access, applicants must pass the FSP exam, which is prepared by the studienkolleg. Along with passing the FSP, there is a program "A bridge to a German university"from the Goethe Institute. But this is not the only alternative. Some universities offer special training programs that qualify you to study a number of specialties at one university or at several universities in the federal state.
