Students are generally asked to assess their own level based on the course description in BokuOnline, which includes information on the level according to the European Framework of Reference.

For English courses, a placement test is available on the Moodle e-learning platform, which can be taken on a voluntary basis to better assess your own level.

The placement test can be found in the BOKU International Relations course offerings and under the course title “English_Entrance_Test_2025W” in BOKUlearn as soon as it is activated. You must be logged in to access it!

The placement test for the 2025/26 winter semester will be activated on August 26, 2025.

Important when taking the test: Save each section so that you can move on to the next level and do not lose any points you have already earned!

If you have already successfully completed an English course at BOKU, you should select the next level.
