In cooperation with the Support Center for International Engineering Students (SCIES), the language department of the IwiS offers German and English language courses at levels A2, B1 and B2 for ISE students (Bachelor, Master) to acquire the language skills according to § 5 PO. The program for language courses can be found in the course catalog (LSF). A placement test is required for German as a foreign language and English.

Please note:

• Language course exemptions due to a placement test result (test recommends C1 course) are not possible!
• If you receive a C1 recommendation after the placement test, you can of course attend a C1 course - but not a B2 course!
• If you have received a C1 recommendation, you can contact us by e-mail at sprachkurse@uni-due.de by May 5, 2025 and ask for an appointment for an oral exam. We will then assign you an exam date for mid/end of May 2025.
• If you can confirm C1 level in the oral exam, you will be exempted from the language courses.
• If you are unable to confirm C1 level in the oral exam, you will not be able to attend an IwiS language course until August/September 2025! The level to be attended will be determined by the IwiS staff during the oral examination.
• In order to obtain a language course exemption for English, you can now also take the Oxford Test of English (OTE) with us. All information about the OTE can be found here.
