Learning outcomes

Students will be able to prove that their English skills are on level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference.
Prerequisites
Students can do the exam directly without attending any classes.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam, Written exam

The exam consists of written and oral parts and is based on B2 level coursebooks. The written part focuses on listening and reading comprehension; it also checks the grammar and vocabulary related to the units in the coursebook. Employing the form of a monologue and dialogue, the oral part checks students' speaking skills on the required level in both general language and subject-related language. Only students who have successfully passed the written test can do the oral part. In case students have an internationally valid certificate (e.g. Oxford or Cambridge) on B2 level or higher, they do not need to take the written part of the exam. They will only take the oral part.
