The Preparatory School at Technische Universität Berlin prepares international students who do not qualify for direct university entrance in Germany to study in a degree program here. The preparatory course lasts two semesters and is completed by taking the assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) at the end of the second semester. The Preparatory School was founded in 1961 with a focus on technology subjects. This was extended in 2005 to also include economics. Each year we prepare some 300 international students to study for a degree program in Germany covered by the subjects taken in the assessment test. We also offer supplementary courses and tests to increase applicants’ options regarding their choice of studies. The Preparatory School maintains partnerships with national and international educational institutions to ensure an ever-growing network. As a partner in the VORsprung project, we are also actively involved in digitalizing teaching.

Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft / University of Applied Sciences (HTW)

We have had a partnership with the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft University of Applied Sciences Berlin (HTW) since 1993. This enables applicants to the HTW who do not qualify directly to study there to attend the TU Berlin Preparatory School, provided they fulfill certain requirements.

Egypt
A cooperation agreement was signed with Technische Universtät Berlin on 18 June 2018 to develop and operate the Goethe-Institut Cairo's Studienkolleg Ägypten.  The program enables young school leavers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to study at the preparatory school of the Goethe-Institut Cairo in a course focusing on engineering studies, thus qualifying them to study in a related degree program. Participants receive 15 hours German per week as well as classes taught in German for mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer studies. The assessment test has been administered by Technische Universität Berlin in Cairo since July 2019.
