Course content:
This test is intended for those students who need a language certificate to apply for a semester abroad but do not want to or cannot take a language course.
The test takes about 3.5 hours and covers the following: "Reading comprehension", "Writing", "Listening comprehension" and "Speaking".
Test procedure:
1. "Reading comprehension": Students receive texts to which questions (usually in the form of multiple choice) are answered. Time limit: 45 minutes
2. "Writing": Students write an essay on a given topic. Time limit: 40 minutes
3. "Listening comprehension": Students are played audio files to which they have to answer questions/tasks (on paper, usually in the form of multiple choice). Time limit: 45 minutes
4. "Speaking": Students are divided into small groups (2-3 people) and in these small groups comment on tasks/questions set by the examiner. Time limit: approx. 10 minutes per group
If the test is passed successfully, a language certificate (B2 or C1 depending on the result) can be issued.
Students who are registered for the test after the elective period but do not attend will have a "fail" shown on their transcript.
A registration fee of 50 euros plus 7% VAT is charged for this test. This fee is also due if you are registered but do not take the test.
Considering that the language certificate obtained after a language test is only valid for 2 years and that a semester abroad at a partner university can be started in the 5th Bachelor semester at the earliest, it does not make sense to take the language test in the 1st or 2nd Bachelor semester.
Students, who will apply for their semester abroad experience (deadline: February 28, 2024) can be sure to receive their language certificate in time before the deadline.
