German Courses

In order to ensure the ideal course for every student, a placement test is mandatory before the first course. If you are still unsure which course to take after the placement test, you can contact us and we will offer an appointment for a personal consultation. If you already have a proof of your German skills, you can upload it directly.

Persons with a WU account can take the test directly on Canvas@WU.

Persons without WU account can take the placement test offered by Klett-Verlag:

• Placement Test A1 (No or very little German skills)

• Placement Test A2 (Basic German skills)

• Placement Test B1 (Good German skills)

• Placement Test B2 (Very good German skills)

• Placement Test C1 (Excellent German skills)

At the end of the test you can send us a copy of your result to blc@wu.ac.at.

If you already have an official proof of your language skills (Sprachdiplom, ÖSD-diploma) or want to continue from a pre-semester course for incomings, please send us your certificate/result to blc@wu.ac.at.
