Mobility Tests
General Information
A mobility test is a relatively uncomplicated way to provide proof of existing language skills required when applying for a stay abroad (e.g. as proof of language ability for a DAAD scholarship).
A mobility test can be taken by:
- Students enrolled at FAU
- FAU staff
- Students from other universities who can prove that the language they need proof of is not offered at their own university.
Please note
This certification can only be used for the given purpose. Proof of language skills (as required, for example, when applying for admission to a degree programme) requires more detailed tests. A mobility test is not sufficient for this purpose.
Fees
For organizational reasons, a fee of 15 euros (20 euros for FAU staff and external candidates) must be charged for determining and issuing proof of language ability.
