The University Council for the Certification of Language Proficiency issued a resolution regarding the organisation of the foreign language proficiency examinations for the summer examination session of the academic year 2019/2020. Unless a mandatory requirement for the student’s degree, it is recommended that students postpone taking the examination to the following academic year.
For those who will take exams, the University Council for the Certification of Language Proficiency outlined the two examinations formats:
- An online oral examination which will allow students to complete their studies but will not entitle them to a Certificate of Language Proficiency.
- A standard Language Proficiency Examination: the paper-based written test taken in accordance with the current strict health and safety precautions, followed by an online oral examination. This option will entitle a student to receive the Certificate of Language Proficiency.
The B2 English Proficiency Examination – regardless of the format chosen by the student – is only available to students in the 3rd year of a Bachelor’s degree and students in the 3rd, 4th or 5th years of a single Master’s degree.

How to prove your experience and relate to the requirements of the industry? As daily researchers, one is indulged too deeply in solving the mysteries of science focusing on specific topics. However, you can still translate your skills to meet industrial demands. In this webinar, I would like to explain what mistakes I made during my transition to the industry and help you avoid these. Understanding how to translate your current skill set is a key factor that will help you identify which opportunity to target. „Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years?” This is one of the most common and irritating questions that HR would ask. However, it is important to know the answer. By the end of the webinar, I am sure you will start foreseeing your future and be prepared for your successful leap into the industry.
