Procedure

The entrance test consists of two parts:
Part 1:
Listening Comprehension
Reading Comprehension
Grammar
Part 2:
Free Text Production

Both parts must be passed individually in order to pass the test successfully.

Content

The entrance test determines:
a) whether the participants have at least an active B2 level, and
b) which preparatory course (M1=B2 level, M2=C1 level) the candidate fulfils the necessary language requirements.

Result

Result B2 level -> M1 course: You take a preparatory course at level B2. At the end of the semester you will write a final test. If you pass the final test, you continue learning in the M2 course the next semester and write the DSH examination at the end of your second semester.

Result C1 -> M2 course: You take a preparatory course at level C1. At the end of the semester you will write the DSH exam.

Failed: Unfortunately, the necessary level for participation in one of our courses was not reached. It is strongly recommended that you attend intensive language courses (approx. 20 hours/week) for your level, e.g. at a private language school.
