About StuWoLi
Study, Work and Live in Germany with clarity
StuWoLi stands for “Study, Work and Live in Germany”. We help international students and qualified professionals navigate their way into Studienkollegs, universities, Ausbildung and the German job market — in a structured, realistic and transparent way.
From application evaluator to pathway designer
StuWoLi is built on more than a decade of hands-on experience in German higher education and international admissions. Our work started on the “inside” of the system: evaluating international applications at uni-assist and understanding exactly how foreign certificates, Studienkollegs and HZB (university entrance qualifications) are classified.
Later, this experience moved into the design of pathway programs at renowned language schools and institutes in Germany. That means we don’t just know the rules on paper — we have seen how students and partners succeed (or struggle) in practice, from first inquiry to arrival in Germany and beyond.
What makes StuWoLi different
- System-level understanding: we understand how uni-assist, universities, Studienkollegs and visa rules fit together.
- Three-sided perspective: we work with students, agencies and German institutes, so we see all sides of the process.
- Realistic planning: we don’t promise shortcuts — we build plans based on real admission, visa and labour market criteria.
- Milestone-based cooperation: especially in coaching and partnerships, we link our work to concrete results.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to make the path to studying, working and living in Germany more transparent and fair for international applicants, while helping German institutions and agencies find well-prepared, motivated candidates.
Instead of leaving you alone with fragmented information and guesswork, we help you build a clear path — whether that means Studienkolleg, direct university admission, Ausbildung, or a professional pathway.
Who we work with
Three audiences, one connected ecosystem
StuWoLi connects international talent, professional guidance and German institutions. Each group has different needs, but the goal is the same: sustainable, successful pathways into Germany.
Students & Applicants
We help you understand whether you need Studienkolleg or can apply directly, which study or training paths fit your profile, and how to plan your finances, visa and long-term life in Germany. From a short StuWoLi-Call to full StuWoLi-Coach, you decide how much support you need.
Agencies
We act as your specialist partner in Germany: offering case guidance, pre-evaluation of applicants, coordinated application handling and optional visa and arrival support. Cooperation is transparent and milestone-based, so your clients and your team know exactly what to expect.
German Institutes & Businesses
We connect universities, Studienkollegs, language schools, Ausbildung providers and employers in Germany with qualified, well-prepared international applicants. Institutions can list their programs, receive pre-screened leads and, if needed, add visa and relocation support on a case-by-case basis.
