From a Discount to Studying in Germany: How One Opportunity Opens Another

Articles B2

Imagine: Germany, a university lecture hall, students from all over the world, lively discussions — and you among them. This is not a dream but an entirely achievable goal, especially if you seize the right moment and take the first step now.

With this in mind, we are offering a discount on the preparation course for the Goethe-Zertifikat B2 exam, as well as a trial written part of the exam with correction — and not without reason. This discount is a valuable investment for those who plan to enter a German university within the framework of the “Studienbrücke” program by the Goethe-Institut. 

“Studienbrücke” — an opportunity worth taking!

The Goethe-Institut in Ukraine actively supports talented young people who dream of studying in Germany. The “Studienbrücke” program was created precisely to bring applicants closer to this opportunity: it informs, guides, and prepares them. But the first (and very concrete) step to participation is proof of German language skills at level B2, namely the Goethe-Zertifikat.

The Goethe-Zertifikat B2 exam is not just a formality. It is a serious challenge that requires:

  • the ability to express yourself fluently in writing and speaking on complex topics,
  • navigating academic texts,
  • understanding nuances in word and expression usage,
  • confidence in speaking — even in stressful situations.

At this level, it is no longer enough to “know grammar” or “understand well.” Systematic preparation focused on the exam format is needed, along with a clear understanding of assessment criteria and — equally important — practice, practice, and more practice.

That’s why now is the best time to start.

The “Studienbrücke” program — what is it?

The “Studienbrücke” program of the Goethe-Institut Ukraine is a specially designed preparation for students with high performance in the MINT subjects (Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, Technology) who aim to enter a German university immediately after graduating from a Ukrainian school. The program combines language preparation with professional and academic orientation for a successful start to studies in Germany.

Who is the program for?

  • Students of the 11th grade of Ukrainian schools in the 2025/2026 academic year;
  • with high academic performance, especially in MINT subjects;
  • who have a Goethe-Zertifikat B2 or a higher level of German.
     
    For those living in temporarily occupied territories, an individual language test is offered instead of the mandatory certification.

Partner universities

Participants of the program can apply directly to partner universities in Germany, including:

  • Ruhr University Bochum
  • University of Duisburg-Essen
  • Technical University of Dortmund
  • University of Bonn
  • RWTH Aachen University
  • University of Siegen
  • European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder)

These institutions support new students in the initial stages of their studies and offer a range of disciplines in the fields of MINT and economics.
