What is SDU?

​

SDU stands for languagestands for Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang in Deutschland , which translates to Language Examination for University Admission in Germany . It is a German language proficiency test specifically designed to assess whether international students possess the required language skills to study at a German-speaking university . While the term “SDU” may sometimes be used generically to refer to university entrance language tests, it is often associated with institution-specific exams that are accepted as alternatives to more widely known tests like TestDaF or DSH .

 

Why SDU?

​

SDU is essential for non-native German speakers aiming to pursue higher education in Germany . It evaluates proficiency in academic German , ensuring students can effectively understand lectures, read scholarly texts, and write academic papers. SDU may be offered by specific universities or testing bodies as an alternative to standardized exams like DSH or TestDaF. A successful SDU result is recognised by partner universities and may directly fulfill their language entry requirements , thus opening the door to bachelor's and master's degree programs in Germany.
