Language Tests

Students whose first language is not English must demonstrate competence in English. We recognize several tests of proficiency in English. The most common are:

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
This is a test organised by The British Council.

We usually require a score of 6.0 or more.

For further information, see the homepage of this organisation.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
This test is provided by an American organisation.

We usually require a score of 550 or more (computer based: 213, internet based: 79). We prefer students to simultaneously take the Test of Written English (TWE). For further information, see the homepage of this organisation.
The TU Certificate Level II
This certificate can be acquired at the Technische Universität Dresden.

We require a grade of "good" or "very good".
