Is it possible to gain a German language certificate at the Language Centre?

The Language Centre does not offer any language proficiency examinations for German according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) nor any B1 or B2 examinations. We are therefore unable to assist if you need such a certificate for applying for a place at university, a residence permit or similar.

Can you help me to find a language tandem?

The German as a Foreign Language department does not offer any assistance with finding language tandems. Please contact the staff at the Self-Access Language Learning Centre.
