Language certificates for study abroad and English studies

English language proficiency examination

Sydney Harbour Bridge by night

The Language Centre at TU Braunschweig regularly offers English language proficiency examinations. In these exams, your language skills are assessed in the four areas of listening, speaking, writing and reading and subsequently certified in a certificate. You can use this certificate in your application to study abroad, but it is also recognised in many other contexts, for example as a placement test for English studies at TU Braunschweig.

Information on language certificates

At the moment we only accept members of TU Braunschweig, HBK Braunschweig or prospective students of TU Braunschweig for the test.

Due to the current situation, the English language proficiency tests are being held online at the moment. You will need an internet-enabled device (ideally a laptop) with a keyboard, camera and microphone.
