Goethe-Zertifikat C1 (ZMP)

The Goethe-Zertifikat C1 (formerly known as: Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung - ZMP) calls for very advanced language skills. It corresponds to level five (C1) on the six-level scale of competence laid down in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At many German universities and further-education institutions, foreign applicants with a Goethe-Zertifikat C1 are exempted from the language entrance test.

Passing the exam demonstrates that you can ...

understand a wide range of challenging, longer texts as well as grasp implicit meanings,
express yourself spontaneously and fluently without frequently having to search for words,
use the language effectively and flexibly in your social and professional life or during training or your studies,
make clear, structured and detailed statements on complex topics.
