Examinations for foreign language courses

The Examinations Office of the Language Centre organises and implements language examinations and advises students interested in studying foreign languages. Read on for important information on language examinations, including exam dates.

Before you can sit a language exam, you have toregister for it in the Campus Portal. This applies to all languages and all levels.

Overview of the current registration and withdrawal deadlines [German content]

The exam dates are announced here approximately two to three weeks before the start of the examination period.

We announce the seating plans for the centrally organised language exams, in order of date/time, on this page a few days prior to the start of the exams. Please read these plans in advance to avoid large queues in front of the notice boards at the exam venues.

Please check the study and examination regulation for your intended degree programme to determine what language skills are required.
