EXAM FORMAT
The examinations consist of two parts:
- The first part is a written exam testing listening comprehension, reading comprehension and writing skills and is assessed by independent UK examiners.
- The second part is the oral communication test. The oral part of the exam, which tests your ability to communicate correctly in a foreign language, can take place before or after the written part. It is assessed by qualified teachers and lecturers from our university. The exam is recorded and sent for verification in the UK to ensure the highest standards of marking.
