INSTEP Study preparation

As part of the INSTEP study preparation programme, we offer German courses and workshops to help you prepare for your studies. You will also have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the campus and study programmes in Oldenburg. The programme concludes with the German Language Test for University Entrance (DSH).

Refugees have the opportunity to take part in the INSTEP Study preparation as a guest student. Guest students have access to many offers of the University of Oldenburg, but are not registered students.

How to apply as a refugee

Certification programme Study techniques for international students

During the introductory phase of your studies, you can take part in events for international students that will help you to settle in at the university and during your studies. If you have attended at least three events, you will receive a certificate, which you can use, for example, in application procedures.
