Linguistic preparation is sometimes necessary for a study stay abroad. The Language Center of the FSU Jena therefore offers preparatory courses for students in a wide variety of languages. However, there is usually also the option of taking a language course at the host university.

  • each host university often offers preparatory or semester-accompanying language courses to its visiting students, most of which are free of charge. Find out more directly from your host university.

ERASMUS Language Test/ Online Linguistic Support (OLS)

The online placement test is made available to all Erasmus students who have already been selected to test their language skills in the language of instruction.

The online language support is available to Erasmus participants for three years. During this time, they have the opportunity to improve their language skills in currently 24 languages at different learning levels and to exchange ideas in the OLS forums (also known as communities) and discuss their own language learning experiences. (The language test result has no influence on Erasmus+ funding).

Erasmus students can access the Online Language Support (OLS) via the EU login and this hyperlink takes students directly to the core area of OLS.

A quick guide to using the Online Language Support is provided hereExternal link. Completion of the OLS language test is currently no longer compulsory according to Erasmus regulations. However, we still recommend that you make use of the offer to improve your language skills free of charge.

Following the online placement test, an online language course (adapted to the corresponding language level) will be made available. (The placement test and language course are currently available for the following languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish).
