ABV English courses

Yes, this is so we can see whether you are suitable for the B2 or C1 course.

If you have already taken "Upper Intermediate English 1 for Academic Professions" or "Advanced English 1a for Academic Professions", then you do not need to take the test. You should sign up for either the course ‘Upper intermediate 2 for Academic Professions’ or (if you took the first C1 level course) ‘Advanced English 2 for Academic Professions’. Please note that these two courses merge together and so are listed in the course catalogue as taking place at the same time in the same room.

All necessary information about the placement test can be found at ABV placement tests.

If you have level B2, then you can sign up for an ‘Upper Intermediate English 1 for Academic Professions’ course. If you have level C1, then you can register for an ‘Advanced English 1a for Academic Professions’ course. Please check in the course catalogue for details.

If you have already taken one of these courses, then you should sign up for either the course ‘Upper intermediate 2 for Academic Professions’ or (if you took the first C1 level course) ‘Advanced English 2 for Academic Professions’. Please note that these two courses merge together and so are listed in the course catalogue as taking place at the same time in the same room.

Please note that registration is not first-come, first-served. If you have to take the placement test, please only register after you know which level you have. Since the placement test may take place shortly before the registration deadline, please register as soon as possible after the results have been made available.

Unfortunately not! We work with a priority list and are not always able to give a place to all students who apply.

The lists will be published at course lists on the Friday before your course is due to start.

We're afraid that means that you have not got a place on one of the courses.

You can reapply next semester. Otherwise, you can contact the coordinators for English to see if a place has become available after the first week.

Please contact your instructor directly to let them know. Otherwise, we will assume that you have decided not to take the course and your place may be given to another student.

If you urgently need to take a course, please contact the coordinators for English in the second week of semester. They will let you know if a space is available on one of the courses.
