Foundation College for Refugees

Since April 2016, refugees without direct entrance qualification to German universities have the possibility to qualify at the Foundation College at the University of Paderborn for technical and scientific higher education programs. Since winter semester 2017/18, the Foundation College also offers preparation course für studies in the field of economics or social sciences.

Course funding for refugees through the "Integra" project (DAAD/BMBF) expired at the end of 2021.

Current information can be found directly on the Studienkolleg page.
