DAAD Language Certificate

Several Study Abroad programs offered by the University of Vechta’s partner universities require students to submit a certificate of English-language proficiency. If you are not in the possession of an official certification such as the TOEFL or the IELTS, you can register to take the DAAD language proficiency test in the Language Centre.

If you would like to take the test, please contact the DAAD administrator for an appointment. You will recieve the exam results at your test appointment.

I would prefer to offer the test to multiple students at the same time. If you already know others who also need the DAAD language certificate, please contact me as a group so we can coordinate the dates.

Please note that test is not free of charge anymore. The fee is now 35€ per test.

The DAAD test is divided into two parts and measures your proficiency in reading, listening, writing and oral interaction:

Reading/Writing/Listening skills will be assessed using a supervised online placement test (30 minutes). In order to prepare for the test format, you can have a look at this video.
Spoken English will be evaluated in a twenty minute conversation with the test administrator, based upon a one to two page text from a magazine or newspaper. The student will also be asked to discuss her/his future academic plans. (30 minutes)

The DAAD test is divided into two time blocks of approximately 30 minutes each. There is a 15 minute break between the blocks.

Do not wait until the “last minute” to take the DAAD test! Before you do anything else, find out which level of English competency your chosen university requires. The range lies between B1 and C1. Most universities require an all-around score of B2 level English for study abroad. Thus, if you wish to study at an English language university or in an English language program, your English should be at an upper intermediate level (minimum CEFR score: B2) in all four language competencies: reading, listening, speaking and writing, when you sign up to take the DAAD test. If you are not yet at this level, you should practice your English by taking preparatory academic English courses at the B2+ or C1 levels.

If you would like to prepare for the DAAD-exam or any other language certificate, it is possible to get access to the Clarity programme Road to IELTS.
