Courses and Exams

The DPT (Dynamic Placement Test) is the test currently used by the University of Erfurt to determine which English courses students are eligible for. Students who wish to attend an English course must take this test unless they have already passed a course at the University of Erfurt that qualifies them for the next higher course. This means that passing a course at B2.2 level qualifies participants for a course at C1.1 level.

Test dates are offered in the introductory week of the winter semester and in the first week of the summer semester.

The next placement tests will take place in the first week of the summer semester 2025 on Friday, 11 April at 12.30 pm in rooms 339 and 343 in teaching building 1 - C03. Registration will take place via Moodle from 24 March.
Registration key = DPT

The Language Centre offers English courses at B2 and C1 level. For courses on A1-B1.2 please contact the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt or th VHS Erfurt.

English students are required to take two LKI courses to complete their O-Phase. We offer LKI courses with a module exam (MP) and without an exam (qT). You can take the following two combinations of LKI courses:

• 2 LKI courses with an MP,
• 1 LKI course with an MP and 1 LKI course with a qT.

A combination of 2 LKI courses with a qT is not possible, as otherwise an LKI module exam grade would be missing.
