To see in Univis which courses are ultimately taught in English, you have to look for the term "Englischsprachig" in the upper part of the course description website. Otherwise, the course descriptions themselves (further down the page, "Inhalt") are also written in the respective course language.
English Courses Offered by the Language Centre (Sprachenzentrum)
The Language Center has developed a range of English courses taught by various native speakers. More information can be found by contacting Catherine Irvine (catherine.irvine[at]uni-bamberg.de) or in UnivIs: http://univis.uni-bamberg.de/
The Anglistik Einstufungstest (English Placement Test) is compulsory for students of English Studies/American Studies or English (Bachelor's major/minor, Master, all teacher training programms, vocational/social pedagogy, economics and business education).
The test will take place in face-to-face attendance in the winter semester 2025/2026: MG1/00.04, 6-8 p.m. Oct. 6 2025
A registration for the placement test is not required in advance! The test does not apply to Business English (see Placement Test for English HaF instead)!
The placement test serves as an orientation for the student and the department of English and American Studies about the level of the student's English skills in comparison with the other first-year students. It is compulsory for all, but has purely diagnostic purposes and does not lead to exclusion from the programme.
The test takes 90 minutes and usually takes place in the week before the start of the lecture period. It is a written test consisting of multiple-choice questions on vocabulary, grammar and text comprehension.
The HaF (H?rer aller Fakult?ten= students of all faculties) Placement Test is not a substitute or equivalent of the Anglistik Einstufungstest.
To attend HaF English classes (e.g. Business English or IT English), students must take an obligatory placement test at the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct course level. The placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary, and must be completed before FlexNow course registration closes. Students who do not take the test may be unable to attend English courses this semester.
The HaF Placement Test will take place ONLINE in Winter Semester 2025/2026.
You will receive an email with more information about access to the test when FlexNow registration for the test has closed.
The results of the test are valid for four semesters.
If you have questions about the HaF placement test, please contact catherine.irvine[at]uni-bamberg.de for more information.
Test Results:
No certificate will be issued for the completion of the HaF placement test, nor can the test be “passed” or “failed”; it is purely for diagnostic purposes. You will receive an email with your test results with a score out of 92 and the CEFR level (B1, B2 etc.) you should select for your course(s). If you have taken the test once or have attended a course in general English, you do not have to retake the placement test.
If you have taken the Anglistik Einstufungstest (see above), you do not have to take this placement test.
Description of the HaF Placement Test:
There are 100 questions in the test. There are grammar and vocabulary questions as well as reading comprehension questions which become more difficult in the later parts of the test. There are also questions to test listening comprehension. The time limit for the placement test is 60 minutes, but students can submit the test earlier if they have finished.
