The English language examination (code DZK001) is compulsory; students must pass the English examination in order to be admitted to the defence of a doctoral thesis.

Students can sit for the examination (given during the examination periods) any time during their studies.

Textbooks for the general English course are English File. Advanced Student's Book with online practice. Fourth Edition. (C. Latham-Koenig, C. Oxenden, J. Lambert, K. Chomacki; Oxford University Press) and Advanced Expert Coursebook, Third Edition (Jan Bell and Roger Gower, Pearson). Other materials will be handed out during the course.

The English examination for doctoral students can be replaced completely by the certificate UNIcert® III, English for Mathematicians.
