The placement test is the important starting point for your course enrollment:
No language course enrollment is possible without a placement test!
In order to determine your current language level - and thus to determine your entry into the Technical English module in FB01 - all first-year students take a computer-based placement test at the Language Center on the Krefeld South Campus at the beginning of the winter semester. The test consists of multiple choice questions and is completed in a maximum of 60 minutes.
You can register for a test date independently, online via the course catalog LSF. In the structure tree, select the earliest possible date under English: FB01 - Mandatory Placement for First Semester, Bachelor, taking into account the maximum number of participants. Guideline Registration->
Please make sure a few days before the test date that you have been admitted by the Language Center. If your registration has been cancelled due to the maximum number of participants already reached, please trigger the registration for another date.
Meaning of the status abbreviations in LSF (see LSF timetable):
Please be sure to observe the specified enrollment deadline (= enrollment period).
Based on your placement test result, the Language Center will assign you to your first course (see chart above Modules in FB01). If you reach the required level, you will start directly with the first compulsory course, which will be credited with ECTS points. In case of a lower placement result, you enter the required bridge module as preparation and complete successive courses until you reach the B2 level.
Please note that the timing of course enrollment varies depending on the type of degree programme and placement result (Full-time, Part-time, Dual). Therefore, you will be informed regularly and in time, during the first academic year, by the Language Center.
Make sure you check your university mailbox regularly!
It is strongly recommended that you take the two compulsory courses according to the degree programme pathway, as the course capacities are each based on the students in the first and second semester (or second and third semester for dual / part-time students).
You can always find your course assignment or course allocation online in the course catalog LSF under 'My functions' - Schedule of classes!
Calling up the allocation via LSF
