The Language Proficiency test is a compulsory part of the study programme. VU Amsterdam considers it important that you have a good command of the language of your study programme. Therefore, all first-year bachelor students are required to take a language test in Dutch or English, depending on the language of the study programme they will be following (Dutch-speaking or English-speaking). If you fail the language test, you will also not receive any credits for the corresponding course.
This year the test will be held between the 9th and 13th of September. You can find the exact time and date in your personal schedule.
Please note:
- The Educational Office will register you for the Language Proficiency test no later than the Friday before the week in which the tests will be held. In the meantime, you can also look at the timetable of your study programme to see when your study programme is scheduled for the language test.
- The language test is a compulsory part of the bachelor's programme.
- If you did not pass the Language Proficiency test, you will have to take part in the mandatory refresher course provided by the Taalloket (see document on the right-hand side).
- If you have a disability or a chronic illness, an adapted workplace can be arranged.
