Applicants from abroad who wish to enroll in a studies program to earn a degree at a University of Applied Sciences in the State of Bavaria need to submit their High School Diploma as well as other relevant documents to the University of Applied Sciences of their choice.

The Studienkolleg Coburg offers the following two-semester courses of preparation for the "Feststellungsprüfung", the exam which determines whether (or not) you can begin your studies at a University of Applied Sciences: a course "WW" for applicants headed for business studies programs, and a course "TI" for applicants headed for technical and engineering studies programs. Studying at the Studienkolleg Coburg is free of charge; there is only a small administrative fee of about 100 Euro per semester.
All applicants have to take an admissions test at the Studienkolleg Coburg offered twice a year.
