HM partner schools abroad require proof of English competence, and generally they accept the DAAD test. Those who plan to attend universities within the EU may be able to take another free test, but should obtain information from the International Office (IO).
The International Office will post a list of partner schools that require the DAAD test, in addition to an overview already on their website of which universities accept which tests.HM community members who do not plan to go abroad with an IO program will be accepted only one week before a test date if there are still remaining spaces, and never in November. This is also true for anyone wishing to take the test a semester earlier than their deadline

The DAAD test for the English Language Certificate is offered:

• During the lecture period, Dachauer Straße 100a, room T 4.005. Below is a list of the dates planned, but you should also regularly check the Schwarzes Brett for potential updates or exceptions.
• Both written skills and spoken-language skills will be tested.
• There is no special way to prepare for the test.
• Please register for the test 4 weeks in advance, as places are strictly limited. Please indicate 2 dates, saying which is preferred, and confirming that you are planning to participate in an IO sponsored exchange. Especially if your deadline is at the end of November, try to get an October appointment as November is serious crunch time. You will receive an assigned date by email. Use an hm.edu account. We take no responsibility for failing to contact you if you have used another account.
• Register with Ms. Pamela Price directly -> contact here <- (with your name, telephone number and e-mail address (not your Matrikelnummer). Please do not clutter your email with additional personal details.
• Bring your HM-Ausweis, your Matrikelnummer and something to write with to the test. Arrive at least 5 minutes in advance. Latecomers will not be admitted.
• Special arrangements are not possible.
• No information about the test will be given in advance; however, you can google the DAAD certificate on the net to find out what skills are tested.
• Certificates are to be picked up at the International Office at the time of your interview unless you were accepted on a remaining-space basis. This means that it pays to be honest when registering in order to be sure you receive the certificate!
• This is a free service - please treat it properly!

Dates planned for SS 2020 DAAD tests. ONLY those marked with a * (star) are available for students not applying for a partner university and only on a remaining-space basis. This means registering one week in advance of the test, not the 4 weeks for partner schools. Tests are at 9.15 Fridays unless marked otherwise. Go to Room T4.005.

Das DAAD-Sprachzeugnis weist Ihre jeweiligen Kenntnisse in den Bereichen Hörverständnis, Leseverständnis, schriftlicher und mündlicher Ausdruck aus.
Der mündliche Test besteht aus einem Prüfungsgespräch von ca. 30 Minuten, in dem Sie Fragen zu einem fachbezogenen Text und zu einem selbstverfassten Aufsatz (1 Seite, Arial 12) beantworten müssen.

Den Text zum Leseverständnis (in der Regel ein Zeitungsartikel aus El País , BBC oder El Mundo ) können Sie vor der Prüfung 15 Minuten lang vorbereiten. Den Aufsatz - ein Motivationsschreiben zu Ihrem Auslandsprojekt - bereiten Sie als Hausarbeit vor und bringen ihn zur Prüfung mit.

In dem Motivationsschreiben legen Sie Ihr Auslandsvorhaben und Ihre Gründe dafür dar, beschreiben, was Sie bisher organisiert haben, wie Sie sich den Aufenthalt vorstellen und was Sie - besonders fachlich - dazulernen wollen. Letzteres ist wichtig, da auch Ihre fachsprachlichen Kompetenzen zu bewerten sind.
