Please scroll down for information on summer semester 2020.
HM partner schools abroad require proof of English competence, and generally they accept the DAAD test. Those who plan to attend universities within the EU may be able to take another free test, but should obtain information from the International Office (IO).
The International Office will post a list of partner schools that require the DAAD test, in addition to an overview already on their website of which universities accept which tests.HM community members who do not plan to go abroad with an IO program will be accepted only one week before a test date if there are still remaining spaces, and never in November. This is also true for anyone wishing to take the test a semester earlier than their deadline
The DAAD test for the English Language Certificate is offered:
- During the lecture period, Dachauer Straße 100a, room T 4.005. Below is a list of the dates planned, but you should also regularly check the Schwarzes Brett for potential updates or exceptions. Please see below for changes in summer semester 2020
- Both written skills and spoken-language skills will be tested.
- There is no special way to prepare for the test.
- Please register for the test 4 weeks in advance, as places are strictly limited. Please indicate 2 dates, saying which is preferred, and confirming that you are planning to participate in an IO sponsored exchange. Especially if your deadline is at the end of November, try to get an October appointment as November is serious crunch time. You will receive an assigned date by email. Use an hm.edu account. We take no responsibility for failing to contact you if you have used another account.
- Register with Ms. Pamela Price directly -> contact here <- (with your name, telephone number and e-mail address (not your Matrikelnummer). Please do not clutter your email with additional personal details.
- Bring your HM-Ausweis, your Matrikelnummer and something to write with to the test. Arrive at least 5 minutes in advance. Latecomers will not be admitted.
- Special arrangements are not possible.
- No information about the test will be given in advance; however, you can google the DAAD certificate on the net to find out what skills are tested.
- Certificates are to be picked up at the International Office at the time of your interview unless you were accepted on a remaining-space basis. This means that it pays to be honest when registering in order to be sure you receive the certificate!
- This is a free service - please treat it properly!
Summer semester 2020:
DAAD test date appointments for SS 2020:
Fridays at 9.00: May 22, 29; June 05, 12, 19, 26
Wednesdays at 15.00: May 27; June 10, 24
Dear Students,
These test dates are foreseen for those of you planning to go to a partner school that requires the test. If you are going to an Erasmus partner, however, you probably do not need this test, so check with the IO first. Please note that all test results through the end of June will be given to the IO, not to you personally, so there is no point in signing up if you do not need it for an IO interview. If you need the test for another purpose, you can only fill in spots that are still vacant 48 hours in advance or, better, take the test in July. If you are granted one of the last minute fill-in slots, then you can get the results yourself.
The tests will be given online. Please use your HM email address!! Other addresses will be accepted only with a justifiable reason which we can check via the IT Dep't. Please be sure that you have a device available which you know well, which has both video and audio (for the oral interviews) and which is 100% reliable on test day. As you will be getting the material one minute before start and have a deadline of 55 minutes to send it back, familiarity with your device is vital.
Please register by sending two possible dates to pamela.price0@hm.edu as soon as possible. Note that everyone will not be able to do Fridays, so tweak your schedule to make a Wednesday available if possible. Again, use your HM email address!
