DAAD Certificates

The HdM Language Centre offers language tests, which are recognized by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and other scholarship foundations (Erasmus) for applications abroad. A DAAD Language certificate might be required to give evidence of your language proficiency when applying for studies and scholarships abroad.

This is not an internationally recognised exam. The test merely serves as a proof of your existing language skills and is valid for one to two years.

The Language Centre offers the DAAD Test for English and Spanish - and other languages on request.
