In cooperation with the Instituto Cervantes in Bremen, the Language Centre offers a variety of general Spanish and special courses, including preparatory courses for the officially and internationally recognised language examination, the DELE diplomas, which are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) are official certificates of Spanish language proficiency awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.

The exams for the certificates are set and evaluated by the Universidad de Salamanca in cooperation with the Instituto Cervantes.

The DELE exams take place in Bremen at the Instituto Cervantes. Please enquire about prices and dates for the examinations directly there. The Language Centre of the University of Oldenburg is not involved in these examinations and cannot answer any questions.
