Spanish Philology (Major / 60 credit points with teacher training option)	B1 or "Vorstudiensprachkurs"

The level listed refers to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The English language test is necessary in order to verify that you have sufficient command of the language in order to successfully begin your studies at the requisite level and hence complete your studies within the allotted time period.

No prior knowledge of Italian, Spanish or French is required for both the 30- and 60-credit-point (non-teacher training) option. If you do have prior knowledge, then you should take the placement test before the start of the semester.
