The Assessment Test (FSP)
Your Gateway to Higher Education in Germany
The Feststellungsprüfung is the key step for international applicants whose high school diploma does not correspond to the German Abitur. It grants you access to public and private universities throughout Germany—and is the common goal of all our specialized courses.
At Alpha Aktiv, you’ll receive targeted preparation for the FSP—with a course that’s perfectly tailored to your desired field of study: The T course focuses on math, physics, and chemistry; the M course on biology and natural sciences; the W course on economics and society; the G course on the humanities; and the S course on language and culture. All courses combine subject-specific content with language and methodological preparation—tailored precisely to the requirements of your future degree program.
By successfully completing a course and passing the placement exam, you’ll lay the foundation for your studies in Germany—with personalized support, practical guidance, and the best chances of securing your desired spot in a degree program.
