After the test they are assigned to a group at an appropriate level
- all part-time students are assigned to a group at an appropriate level based on the results of the placement test (students are informed about the date and venue of the placement test on the Foreign Language Center website at the beginning of the semester)
- graduate full-time students: during the first classes the graduates of our university fill out a short survey and the graduates of other universities solve a placement test
Other languages (A1-C2):
