Requirements

We would like to ask you complete a placement test before registering for the German course. Below, you will find a link that leads you to an online-test that allows you to assess your level in German.

Please note:
The test consists of 64 questions and you have 75 minutes to complete it. It is important that you complete the test without interruptions and submit your answers within the given time frame (unlike stated in the introductory part of the test). Please use a computer, not a smart phone.
As the test includes audios, please ensure that your computer can play those.
The further you proceed in the test, the more challenging the questions become. Please leave out questions you cannot answer and finish the test once you have reached the point at which all the questions are too difficult.
 
After closing the test, you will receive an email with your result. If your score is between 122 and 144 points, you are eligible to register for this course. Please save a screenshot of your result and send it to your coordinator along with your registration.
 
If your score is lower than 122 or higher than 144, this course is not suitable for you. We offer another course in the summer term at A1.2 level requiring a score of 25-48 points. Otherwise, you are welcome to have a look at the course offerings of the International Office at https://www.uni-bonn.de/studying/international-students/german/sdk. Please note that these courses are not offered as part of the BIGS program and might incure costs.
