Studienkolleg der Hochschule Konstanz (HTWG)
For the T-Kurs at Studienkolleg der Hochschule Konstanz (HTWG), the entrance test (Aufnahmeprüfung) is: German and Mathematics and Physics. Here is what the official pages say, and what they leave out.
Konstanz prepares for universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg. Dictionaries are not allowed, but you may ask the invigilator about a word in a task.
German · Not published by the Kolleg
Two short writing tasks (for example an interview, a text about statistics, or a report) and a C-Test with 60 gaps, where the second half of every second word is missing. No dictionaries.
Mathematics · Not published by the Kolleg
Fractions, powers and roots, logarithms, equations and inequalities, linear systems and elementary functions. The Kolleg provides a formula sheet; no calculator.
Physics · Not published by the Kolleg
Physics test; you may bring one handwritten page of formulas, no calculator.
Generated by the same engine as the Kollego course, at a level close to the entrance math. Pick an answer in your head, then open the solution.
1. Solve for x: 2(x + 4) − 14 = x + 3
Answer: 9
Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.
Expand: 2x + 8 − 14 = x + 3, then isolate x.
2. Solve |x − 1| = 4. Give the smaller solution.
Answer: -3
|x − a| = b means x − a = b or x − a = −b, giving x = a + b or x = a − b.
x − 1 = + 4 or x − 1 = − 4 → x = 5 or x = -3.
3. A circle has radius 4. An arc on the circle subtends a central angle of 270°. What is the arc length, expressed as a multiple of π? (e.g. an arc length of 3π has answer 3)
Answer: 6.0
Arc length = (θ/360) × 2πr.
(270/360) × 2π×4 = 6π.

No. The Kolleg rules out calculators, so practise mental and written arithmetic.
The Kolleg does not publish this. If it matters for you, ask the Kolleg directly.
You must pass all three subjects with the minimum score. Very high results in all three can admit you straight to the second semester.
Checked against the official pages on 1 November 2026. Formats change: always confirm on the Kolleg's own site before your test.
