 C) Information about your placement result

You can view your final placement test results here. When you take the placement test, you will automatically be registered for the intensive course. Next to your score, you will find a link to the course offerings, allowing you to continue your studies during the semester following the intensive courses.

By participating in the intensive course, you will become a continuing student. This status allows you to reserve a spot in a semester course before the official registration period begins in April 2026.

If your result is unclear, a question mark (?) will be displayed next to your score. This indicates that we would like to speak with you to ensure you are placed in the correct level. To arrange a consultation, I invite you to contact me.
