The Language Center offers a range of English courses, from proficiency level A2 to C1 (CEFR). The aim of our courses is to develop academic language skills so that participants are able to use English competently, effectively and appropriately in higher education and professional contexts.

All courses are comprised of 4 teaching hours per week. 6 credit points are awarded for successful completion of a course. For information on the courses, please read the course descriptions.

All English courses require participants to take an oral, 10-minute placement test (online) to ensure that their current language level corresponds to the course level. Enrollment in English courses is only possible after the placement test.

You can register for a placement test here.

If you successfully complete one of the English courses, you have the opportunity to take a course at the next higher level.

The Language Center regularly conducts language tests. B1, B2, C1 tests are internal university language level tests for admission to degree programs (bachelor’s & master’s). The DAAD language certificates are intended as proof of English language skills for stays abroad. language tests
