If If you would like to study at a university in Karlsruhe and are not a German citizen, you must prove that you have sufficient language skills. Basic knowledge is not sufficient for studying; you must be able to converse well in German and also follow lectures. The TestDaF is recognised by the universities in Karlsruhe and thus enables you to enter one of the coveted degree programmes.
Diese Voraussetzungen müssen Sie mitbringen
Wenn Sie Deutsch schon gut beherrschen, können Sie den TestDaF natürlich ohne einen Kurs machen. Sie benötigen allerdings Kenntnisse mindestens auf dem Niveau B2, besser noch C1. Wenn Sie zuvor Deutschkurse besucht haben, wissen Sie normalerweise Ihr Niveau. Sollte das nicht der Fall sein, stufen wir Sie gerne ein. Auf unserer Seite finden Sie einen entsprechenden Test oder Sie besuchen uns in unseren Räumen in Karlsruhe.
You must have these prerequisites
If you already have a good command of German, you can naturally take the TestDaF without taking a course. However, you need to have at least a B2 level, or even better, a C1 level. If you have taken German courses before, you will normally know your level. If this is not the case, we will be happy to help you find your level. You can find an appropriate test on our website, or you can visit us in our offices in Karlsruhe.
