Prepare for your online journey with the Pre-Year programme at GJU

At Online GATE, we are dedicated to providing high-quality and accessible education that supports students in preparing for academic success in our German transnational programmes. To support a smooth transition into the online Bachelor’s degree programmes offered by THWS, we offer a comprehensive online Pre-Year programme, delivered and hosted by GJU.
The Pre-Year programme is designed to meet the academic and admission requirements of German universities. It is intended for students who do not yet meet the criteria for direct entry and supports international students in developing a solid academic foundation for their future studies.
Upon successful completion of the Pre-Year programme, students are eligible for admission to the relevant Bachelor’s degree programmes at THWS, ensuring a clear academic progression. Online GATE therefore offers a structured pathway from the Pre-Year to the Bachelor’s degree.
Bilingual Education
Even though our online programmes are fully taught in English and do not require any knowledge of German, learning German gives you an enormous advantage: German language skills enable you to transfer to a related German-taught degree programme or to continue your studies in Germany, perhaps in a German-taught master's programme. German language skills also give you the opportunity to complete an internship semester in a German company and set yourself apart from other applicants on the local labour market. And, a good knowledge of German will improve your chances of successfully integrating into the labour market of German-speaking countries.
During our online Pre-Year and Bachelor’s programmes, we offer optional German language classes – fully online. Our programmes thus provide you with a bilingual education and make you a bi- or, depending on your native language(s), a multilingual professional.
