TestDaF examination (German as a foreign language)

TANDEM Munich is an accredited centre for the preparation and holding of the TestDaF examination (Test of German as a Foreign Language). The TestDaF examinations take place six times a year. A valid passport or ID card and the examination fee of € 195.- are required for registration.

TestDaF examines the following four language skills in separate subtests: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing, speaking. To pass the exam, a TestDaF mark of 3 (TDN 3) must be attained in all four skills. The "Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität" (LMU) in Munich, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) as well as the Technical College (HM Hochschule München) accept a TestDaF mark of 4 (TDN 4) in all four skills.

Many colleges in Germany also accept lower results (TDN 3). Every institution has its own entry requirements. Before applying for a study place at your college of choice, please enquire as to which TestDaF result is required. Many universities display these requirements on their website.
