Information for winter semester 2021/22

Due to high demand by TU students, we will not offer English language assessments for students from other universities.
 
Appointments will be offered again as of October 2021. If you need proof of your level before then, please contact your application office for further options. Information on "International English language tests", for example TOEFL or IELTS, can be found on the corresponding websites. Please find out which language certificate you need for your application.

TU Berlin Students

Dates in the summer semester are held monthly from May to July. There are no appointments during the lecture free time.

The dates in the winter semester take place one to three times a month from the end of October to mid-February.

A  skill-based test must be taken in order for ZEMS to issue an English language certificate. This test consists of three parts:

• Reading comprehension
• Writing
• Oral interaction

You will take the test on your own computer on the date indicated on your booking. After successful registration, please visit the test area on ZEMS-Moodle. Please read the important information and follow the instructions on the ZEMS-Moodle before the test date.

Please note the following requirements:

• Check that audio and video work well on your device.
• Allow about undisturbed 80 minutes to take the test.
• Work independently! If you do research on the Internet or with other tools, you will lose valuable time.
• Plagiarism will result in no language certificate being issued.

Registration for the test

ZEMS cannot schedule test dates according to individual desires or expectations. Since demand is high, it is advisable that you register for a date that is already open for registration.

Information on "International English language tests", for example TOEFL or IELTS, can be found on their websites. Please find out which language certificate you need for your application.

Results

You will receive the certificate within 7 working days. In summer semester 2021, the certificates will also be sent directly to the TU Berlin International Office. If you have any questions, please contact the media center by e-mail.

Fees

The issuing of language certificates at the ZEMS is generally subject to a fee. Please note the accepted payment methods.
