UNIcert® II Certificate

At the end of the level you will have reached approximately level B2 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages. You have a good command of the foreign language, which enables you to communicate adequately in most study and work-related situations in the target country.

Completion of the level is cumulative, i.e. based on the graded performance records for the individual courses. When you have completed all the required credits, we will issue you a UNIcert(R) II level certificate of completion that corresponds to the general or specialized linguistic focus you have chosen.

Unless otherwise specified, courses may be taken in any number and sequence within a module.
