Language programme depends on the language chosen and the level of previous knowledge and proficiency the learner already has. Learners who are complete beginners can register directly via TUCaN in a language course. Course participants who have some knowledge of and proficiency in the desired language must take a placement test before the start of the semester. Their proficiency level is determined by the test result and the UNIcert® level for continuing their language courses is specified. The test result is also used to decide whether a shortened course curriculum for the respective proficiency level is possible.

Language training in the UNIcert® system also requires that LSP courses (i.e., languages for specific purposes) are compulsory starting at UNIcert® III level.

UNIcert® certificates can be obtained after taking and passing the respective number of language courses (cumulative course assessment) or by taking an examination, depending on the chosen language.

This may sound rather complicated, which is why we highly recommend contacting the respective language coordinator if you are interested in a specific UNIcert® certificate. The language coordinator will provide you with the necessary information to plan your personal language training.
