The German courses lead to the levels B1, B2 or C1. Both B2 and C1 end with a portfolio examination. Successful completion of the examination certifies independent (B2) or competent (C1) language use according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Passing the exam is considered sufficient proof of language proficiency within UdK Berlin.

The German courses at UdK Berlin are exclusively aimed at UdK students. Applicants can register once they have been offered a place at UdK. Please note that capacity is limited and that UdK cannot guarantee a place for all international students.
