An e-mail is sent automatically confirming that the registration has been completed successfully.

Examination fees

The fee of €25 for the test should be paid in cash approximately two hours before the test is due to start at the place where the test is to be held. You must show your confirmation of admission to the preparatory German course when you come to pay.

Aims

The placement test for the preparatory language courses (DSH courses) is intended to ensure that students of approximately the same ability are put in one course. It is not a test aimed at allocating language skills to a certain level of the General European Framework of Reference.

Requirements

The placement test for the preparatory German courses (DSH courses) is always held shortly before the semester begins, i.e. in April and October. Prospective students must first apply to the the FAU Admissions Office. You cannot take the placement test if you have not been granted admission to the DSH course by FAU.

Requirements for applying are stipulated on the website of the Admissions Office. Candidates should prove that they have German skills equivalent to having completed level A2.
