DSH Exam & FAQ
Dear applicants,
The DSH exam – the German language exam for foreign students applying for admission to German universities – indicates that your German skills are sufficient to pursue and successfully complete higher education in Germany.
This includes the ability to follow lectures and seminars, prepare proper notes, read and understand academic texts, and to sufficiently prepare for class and follow up. And, of course, you have to be capable of writing academic texts.
Please note that the DSH exam is not being held until further notice.
How can I practice for a DHS exam?
The Langauge and Culture Team offers seminars and workshops to prepare for the DSH exam. Additionally, you can use materials provided at the Self-Access Center in building 5, room 104 to practice on your own.
How can I register for a DSH exam?
During the registration time, you can register via a form on the DSH site. All candidates receive a slot on the waiting list since the Language and Culture Team can only admit a limited number of participants to the DSH exam. About one month before the exam, all confirmations and cancellations will be send out via email to the registered candidates. In this email, the exam procedure will be explained. Payment has to be completed five working days after receiving the invoice.
For any questions regarding the registration process, please contact Sonja Tommrich.
Do you have any further questions?
If you have any further questions about exam preparation and the DSH, please contact the coordinator for German as a Foreign Language, Reinhard Werner.
