During the IFS Course Registration phase at the beginning of every semester, the placement test is available on ILIAS.

Admission procedure

You will be admitted to a course at the end of the registration phase. You will be informed by e-mail in your ILIAS Inbox about which course you have been admitted to. You will find detailed information about the course in ILIAS as well.
Eligibility for the English, Spanish, German and French courses is checked by the IFS. If you do not meet the admission criteria (placement test or previous course), you will have to leave the course. The IFS only contacts you via your university email address, please ensure that this is active and check it regularly. 

Cancellation and re-scheduling

Your plans have changed and you cannot take the course? Or you wish to change the day of your course?

Please inform the respective lector by e-mail as soon as possible if you cannot take the course so that your place can be reassigned.

Late registration

After the registration period, it is not possible to register directly for a language course. You must first contact the relevant lecturer by email and apply for late admission. If all places in a course are already taken, then no latecomers will be admitted.
