Business Foundations Programme

The Business Foundations Programme at Kühne Logistics University in Hamburg is a preparatory course (Studienkolleg) designed to bridge differences between international and European secondary education systems before entry into the Bachelor's degree. Students who complete the programme and pass the assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) advance directly into the second year of KLU's Bachelor's programme. The programme includes subject-specific academic preparation, intercultural training, preparation for entrance examinations, and language courses in German and English. Students hold full student status from the start and have access to student societies and university support services. The average group size is five participants. Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency at B2 level at the time of application and are expected to achieve a C1 certificate during the programme. Candidates who can demonstrate A2-level German may be eligible for a shortened programme. The programme is offered at Kühne Logistics University in Hamburg, Germany.
