The UM Language Centre can assist you with proof of language proficiency. We offer different tests to evaluate your language skills and can provide you with a certificate stating your level according to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference of the Council of Europe.)

Test according to CEFR-criteria 

​For UM and non-UM participants

For some of the languages, we also offer a full test in accordance with CEFR- criteria. Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) describes foreign language proficiency at six levels. The speaking and listening skills tests are administered by the teacher, followed by an independent writing and reading test. The full test takes roughly 2,5 hours to complete and takes place at our office in Maastricht.

If you are a UM employee and your department requests you to demonstrate your level in English and/or Dutch as part of the UM Language Policy requirements, please contact taalbeleid-lc@maastrichtuniversity.nl and mention which language(s) need to be tested.
