Please note: Proof of level of proficiency is required when registering for courses.

You can prove your proficiency level:

· By submitting standardized certificates (e.g. Goethe-Zertifikat, Telc or TestDaF etc.), in case they already have been obtained (e.g. by passing tests in your country of origin). Students who already have obtained such a certificate can submit a scan (PDF/Jpeg) together with matriculation number and name to our office (https://www.uni-hamburg.de/sprachenzentrum/daf/daf-bereich/kontaktseite/kontaktformular-daf.html).
