Syllabus -

The exam consists of a written part followed by an oral part. Should a student fail the written part, the whole exam is marked as failed and the student shall not sit for the oral part. If the student passes the written part but fails the oral part, then they would have to repeat both written and oral parts of the exam. The overall result is based on an evaluation of both written and oral parts of the exam.

Written part:

Test of grammar and vocabulary (Use of English) and listening comprehension

A minimum of 70 % of the maximum score is required to pass the written part

Oral part:

Brief summary of prepared texts (30 pages), explanation of selected specialized terms, discussion related to topics raised in the specialized text and the applicant's own work, as well as various common conversational topics

Linguistic accuracy and fluency will be assessed
