The DAAD language certificate in English is part of many applications for a semester abroad or scholarships. Information about studying abroad can be found at the International Office (IO). The Language Center offers test dates for the DAAD language certificate in English at regular intervals (at least once a month). The test consists of a writing task and a conversation in English on previously given reading texts and, if necessary, a short grammar test, and serves to assess your English language skills.

The writing task takes place in person at the Language Center and lasts a maximum of 60 minutes. The oral exam takes place online via BigBlueButton and takes approximately 25 minutes.

This test is not a B1/B2/C1 certificate and cannot be used as proof of language proficiency for studying at the University of Oldenburg or another university!
