Every student of English at the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf who has taken up his studies starting the winter term 2015/16 is required to take part in a test of your English language proficiency. This Oxford Online Placement Test (OOPT) is relevant for your course of study (Remedial Language Skills/ Language Skills I/Language Skills II). See further information provided below.

&nb

• Every student who takes English courses as part of their course of studies must take this test as part of their first English language module.
• You must take the test before you begin your studies. The language test is a diagnostic tool which is part of your first English language module (Remedial Language Skills/ Language Skills I/Language Skills II).
• You must pass the diagnostic test with 64 out of 120 points (CEFR level B2) to begin your first English language module.
• If you score below 64 points, you are required to take Remedial Language Skills before Language Skills I etc. In addition, you may be required to schedule a counselling appointment with your lecturer. Should this be the case, you will be duly informed.
