Englischkenntnisse - Zulassungsvoraussetzungen
Zulassungsvoraussetzungen bzgl. Englischkenntnisse für das Studium der Anglistik in Oldenburg
The language admission requirements are currently under review in order to make them stricter. The new regulations will already apply for applicants for WS 09/10 .
The TOEFL internet-based test will most likely be raised from 83 to 100 points *, and the IELTS test will probably be raised from Band 6 to 6.5. (The CAE test will remain at the "B" level) The grade in an "Englischkurs auf erhöhtem Niveau" (formerly "Englíschleistungskurs") will most likely be raised from 10 points to 11 points.
* Nach einer internen Überprüfung ihrer Skala hat die TOEFL Organisation ihre eigenen Notenergebnisse stark nach oben korrigiert. http://www.ets.org/Media/Research/pdf/CEF_Mapping_Study_Interim_Report.pdf
Applicants will only be admitted to the English Department on the basis of standardized test scores (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS or CAE) or grades in an "Englischkurs auf erhöhtem Niveau" (formerly "Englíschleistungskurs"). Waivers will no longer be given for having worked or studied in an English-speaking country.
Proof of proficiency in English cannot be more than two years old.
The only exception to this will probably be native speakers of English who have grown up in an English-speaking country.
Check back in the middle of March for the final version of these requirements.
Please wait until mid-March to contact Ms. Engelhardt or Ms Graydon; at this point we simply do not know what the final version of the new regulations will be.
