Test for Language Certificate (DAAD)

Eligibility

DAAD English tests in FK 13 are open to HM students who are not enrolled in either FK 14 or FK 10. Those students should contact the English instructors in their own department for evaluation.

Students are eligible for testing FK 13 only if they are applying to go abroad to partner universities through the International Office, and only in the same semester that their IO interview takes place. Tests taken before the interview semester would be invalid unless the IO grants an exception for a good reason. Certificates go directly to the IO, not to the individual student.

(Note: Erasmus Program applicants rarely need the DAAD test, but check with the IO if in doubt.)

Anyone who needs/wants a DAAD certificate for any other reason can search for possibilities at private universities, some of which may do it for a fee. All public universities in Munich are allowed to test only their own students, so asking at the TUM or LMU leads to a dead end.

Times, dates, place

Tests take place on 8 Thursdays at 15.30 in room T 4.005 and last till about 17.00. The two dates now open are April 3rd and 10th. Other dates will be announced only when these have been filled. Available slots are limited to 40 in the semester, and normally more than 40 students apply for them. Therefore, you should not wait in hopes of a later date since competition for the later dates is normally strong, so you would risk not getting a slot.

To get a slot, please write a one sentence email with your FK number and preferred date to Ms Price . Please do not contact the FK 13 Sekretariat as no one there can help you. All 4 skills are tested, but no other information about the test is available.
Any other Qs about eligibility, etc., should be directed to the International Office .
