Study Prerequisites  -  Language Tests

Students whose first language is not English must demonstrate competence in English. We recognize several tests of proficiency in English. The most common are:

• The International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
  This is a test organised by The British Council.
  We usually require a score of 6.0 or more.
  For further information, see the homepage of this organisation.
• The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
  This test is provided by an American organisation.
  We usually require a score of 550 or more (computer based: 213, internet based: 79). We prefer students to simultaneously take the Test of Written English (TWE). For further information, see the homepage of this organisation.
• The TU Certificate Level II
  This certificate can be acquired at the Technische Universität Dresden.
  We require a grade of "good" or "very good".
  For more information, contact the Language Center at TUD.
