The Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) is the final assessment exam of a Studienkolleg. Passing it certifies that your qualifications are equivalent to a German school-leaving certificate for your chosen field of study, giving you university access.

If you go the Studienkolleg route, the FSP is the gate to university — your grade in it directly affects which programmes you can enter.
