Issuing of Language Certificates
IMPORTANT NOTICE
All academic achievements at the Foreign Language Centre are recorded in your Transcript of Records (SB-Service).
This document can be accessed independently and is generally accepted as an official proof of achievement.
An additional language certificate is therefore usually not required for students.
When is a language certificate issued?
A separate language certificate for courses at the FLC is only issued for:
-
Staff and PhD students,
as these are not usually recorded in the SB-Service. -
Participants in the TUC Language Certificate Programme,
i.e. students who have obtained a TUC language certificate.
The TUC language certificate is issued in both German and English after successful completion of the required courses in accordance with the certificate regulations. -
ERASMUS Students
should contact the relevant language coordinators directly regarding language certificates. -
Students,
if no documentation is available in the SB-Service or if external institutions expressly require a separate document. A corresponding justification must be provided when applying for a language certificate.
Legal notice for students on English-taught degree programmes:
In accordance with § 3 (5) of the enrolment regulations of Chemnitz University of Technology, proof of German language proficiency at A2 level is required by the end of the third semester. This proof is provided automatically via the transcript of records, which is submitted to Student Service to lift the A2 re-enrolment restriction. A separate language certificate is not required.
If needed, the transcript of records can be issued upon request by the Central Examination Office.
How to apply for and collect language certificates
-
Language certificates are only issued if no documentation is available in the self-service portal or if a separate certificate is expressly required.
-
Language certificates are issued exclusively in paper form with a signature.
- Personal collection is required. Scanned copies will not be provided.
- Applications will be submitted via an OPAL course with appointment booking (further information will follow).
- Data relating to the issuance of language certificates is retained at the Centre for Foreign Languages for a maximum of 5 years. For older records, please contact the University Archives.
