Language Certificates English

We issue language certificate for:

• applications for exchange programs (such as ERASMUS, DAAD, and other exchange programs)
• internships abroad
• to participate in classes offered by the faculty of law (for Fremdsprachenscheine).

>>> Please always check first with the institution or department where you plan to submit your language proficiency certificate to find out exactly what is required and what is accepted.

[Please note: If you would like to take classes offered by the Language Center, you do not need to present one of these language certificates. Please take the following online test: Placement Exam English]

The test can be taken once per semester.

 

For language certificates English

please send the digital proof of enrollment you can download from STiNE or alternatively a photo/scan of your student ID to testing.sz"AT"uni-hamburg.de. You will then receive a log-in code for the test and further instructions on how to proceed. After completing the test, you will receive an electronic certificate from the Language Center via email.

Please note: This is a more elaborate test than the one we use for course participation. So even if you already took the test linked above to take a class with us, you will still have to take this test with log-in code in order to receive a language certificate.

For most ERASMUS and master applications as well as for the classes offered by the faculty of law, this certificate from the Language Center is usually sufficient. If in doubt, please ask the institution you are sending your application to directly.

Should you ADDITIONALLY require a DAAD/bvmd certificate or another special document your exchange institution is asking for, please contact Mr. Feddersen (benjamin.feddersen"AT"uni-hamburg.de) to arrange a telephone appointment for a quick oral exam. Should you have already taken this test with log-in code with us in the past and have received the Language Center certificate, you can of course contact Mr. Feddersen directly. It is not necessary to repeat the test.
