Placement Tests

What is it?

Your scores on a placement test help us determine the best course(s) for you.

No, if you:

are a beginner in the language. Simply enrol in Level 1.
can prove that you are very proficient in the language. For example, show us your:

passing score on the UN Language Proficiency Exam (LPE),

are a native speaker in the language.

Yes, if you:

have not yet taken a course in the language in our programme, or
are a returning student who has not taken a course for two terms or more.

When is it?

Most languages offer two options: once 'early' (~two months before the term); and once 'late' (~two weeks before the term).
We offer three terms per year:
Fall (September - November); Winter (Jan - April); and Spring/Summer (April - July).
