The B2 language exam serves as proof of language proficiency in some degree programmes. Please find out in the degree programme of your choice which proof you need to provide and in what form. Please read the admission regulations and enquire with the subject advisors of your chosen degree programme! 

The exam assessment is based on the B2 criteria of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). This is the standard and comprehensive set of guidelines used in Europe (and sometimes also outside Europe) to describe language abilities. Basically, we are assessing your receptive skills (reading and listening) and productive skills (written text and speaking). An accomplished B2 is considered somewhat higher level ‘independent user’, with a good degree of fluent and spontaneous communication without strain for either party.

You should understand the main ideas of complex texts, both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions from your field. You should be able to produce clear, detailed texts on a wide range of subjects, and explain viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

For spoken discussions, you should be able to understand language typical for personal, social, academic and professional life, on both familiar and unfamiliar topics. Clear, developed descriptions should be possible, with appropriate emphasis on important points, including supporting details. These apply for a wide range of subjects related to the field of study, as well as more generally.
