Step 2 - Written Placement Test
The written placement test is obligatory. Without the written placement test it is NOT POSSIBLE to enrol personally and participate in our German courses (step 3).
Exceptions: You won't need to participate in the written placement test if you are:

Our placement test has been developed based on scientific researches and is a diagnostic tst. It is not graded, in other words, you cannot fail. It merely helps to identify your course level and offer you the most appropriate courses.

Please transfer the course fee AFTER your first class and send your proof of payment to deutsch@uni-jena.de. We must receive your proof of payment within the first two weeks of the course. You will find more details about the payment in your confirmation email after the personal enrolment.
