Information about the application, admission and enrolment procedure for international students

International Graduate Academy (IGA)

Starting in March 2013

There is a possibility of taking IELTS exams (International English Language Testing System) and obtain an adequate certificate at the SLI (Language Training Center) of Freiburg University. IELTS is equivalent to the slightly more popular TOEFL test used to assess learners’ language levels and provides a benchmark for entry into tertiary education institutions (IELTS is widely accepted worldwide).

SLI offers regular preparation courses for the three most important certificates: IELTS (test/certificate at Freiburg Uni), TOEFL (internetbased test, closest place to take the test is Stuttgart) and Cambridge Proficiency Test (test/certificate at Freiburg Uni). Please note that TOEFL test is valid only for two years. The IELTS exams at Freiburg University are taking place on a monthly basis.

Please check the MyAccount Tutorial offered by the University Computing Center.

This tool is also important for the enrolment for each new semester. With it you can register online (see enrolment) and print out the enrolment certificates which you then give to the SGBM secretary. These certificates are sent to the health insurance as evidence of your student status.
