Are my test results automatically sent to Student Services?

Or by mail: Therefore, please either mail a copy of the Score Report to your caseworker or drop a copy in the silver mailbox in front of Building 10. Be sure to note your matriculation number, or applicant number, so that the document can be properly assigned.
How can I prepare for the test?
- There is a wide range of materials, including sample tests, available for your use in the Self-Access Center (C 5.104) and in the TOEIC reserved reading material in the library.
- Leuphana students can take a crash course or take the “TOEIC Preparation” course during the semester (sign up in myStudy).
- But first you should take the Placement Test in the Self-Access Center. Once you have received your classification results, you can consult the Guide to find the best ways to prepare for your language level.
Why do I need proof of English proficiency for a German-language program?
English has become the “lingua franca” of the business world. Many scientific and academic articles are written in English. This is why, before beginning your studies, you are required to provide proof of passive English skills.
How long are my results valid?
Two years, for official purposes and when applying for a position (job, internship, etc.).
If you apply for a Leuphana Consecutive Master major, the TOEIC results can be up to four years old.
When applying for a doctoral program, the results may be up to three years old; graduates of a Leuphana University Lüneburg Masters’ program are exempted from having to provide proof of English proficiency.
