Would you like to study in Germany in the fields of humanities, social sciences, or linguistics? The Studienkolleg Paderborn offers you the ideal preparation for your Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) with its combined S/G Course, which combines the S-Course and G-Course. 
 

S + G for Maximum Flexibility After Studienkolleg

  • S-Course:
    Provides targeted preparation for language-related degree programs.  
  • G-Course:
