III. 3) Application date

31st March prior to the following academic year is the final day for the submission of applications.

IV. 4) German language course

Good knowledge of German is a prerequisite.

a) In any case, the candidate has to prove good knowledge of German (successful completion of a language course). This is absolutely necessary to get through the entrance examination for the language course at KU which will take – according to one’s progress – one or two semester; this course will not be supported by the relief organizations and therefore has to be financed separately.
Within one year, the candidate has to complete the German test successfully in order to get the scholarship and to stay at COr.

b) On presentation of a German language certificate (e.g. TestDaF [see www.testdaf.de] or equivalent test accepted by KU), the candidate is able to begin immediately with his theological studies at KU.
This certificate is necessary to get the scholarship and to stay at COr.
