M-Kurs: entrance exam and syllabus

For medical, biological and pharmaceutical programmes. To get in, you pass a German test and, at many Kollegs, a short basic math test. During the course, math sits alongside biology, chemistry and physics, with extra weight on statistics and probability.

The entrance exam

Every Kolleg sets its own test. Studienkolleg München, as a documented example:

• German: 50 minutes at about B1+ to B2 level, with a C-Test, grammar, reading and a short writing task.
• Math: 30 minutes. Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, simple equations and word problems.
• Both parts must be passed.
