The TestDaF, or Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache, is a German language exam to prove proficiency at an advanced level, level C1 as laid down in the Common European Framework of Reference. The TestDaF exam is the language qualification that facilitates admission to German universities and is recognized by every university in Germany. It is also internationally recognized proof of your knowledge of German for scientific projects and academic professions.
The TestDaf has the same status as the DSH, but has several advantages. Unlike the DSH, students can try TestDaf more than once and on 4 to 5 dates every year.
In this 4-week course, students will prepare for the exam using a variety of classroom materials and samples from previous years' tests. The course consists of 4 morning lessons in groups of no more that 12 students at the same level plus 2 lessons each afternoon on test taking strategies and examination drills in groups ranging from 3-6 students.
The TestDaF exists at only 1 level:
C1 Advanced Level
Specific Program Details
Information about Berlin, Germany (Click to view)
Berlin is laden with historical charm, a vast sprawling city with pockets of attractions dotted all over, from the old streets of East Berlin where little has changed in fifty years to the grand architecture of Museum-sinsel and Unter den Linden. Visitors will be pleasantly surprised by Berlin today, where one may find everything from authentic beer halls and old Soviet era haunts, to buzzing style bars and Latino nightclubs. Today's quintessential Berlin experience is to laze through a summer day in the Tiergarten with the rabble of construction just out of earshot, sipping on a chilled pilsner beer while you witness a city reinventing itself as one of the great European capitals.
Germany is a historical yet modern country, split into sharply defined regions. Each region maintains its distinctive character with its own dialect, traditional dress and foods. Germany’s many modern cities stem from the time when it consisted of countless small states. North Germany has the delightful old seafaring ports, east is the beautiful cultural centers and south is the alluring Black Forest and those boisterous Bavarian beer halls. Along the Rhine and Moselle Rivers are picturesque castles and steep, terraced vineyards. From Frankfurt to Bremen runs a trail of villages that helped inspire the Grimm Brother’s fairy tales.
Participants: This program is open to participants 16 years of age or older.
