What is ÖSD?

​

ÖSD (Austrian German Language Diploma) is an internationally recognised German language certification system developed in Austria . It stands for Austrian German Language Diploma and assesses candidates' proficiency across CEFR levels A1 to C2 . The ÖSD exam evaluates the four core language skills— listening, reading, writing, and speaking —and is designed with a pluricentric approach , incorporating Austrian, German, and Swiss variants of the German language. This makes the ÖSD ideal for learners who want exposure to different dialects and cultural nuances of the German-speaking world.

​

Why ÖSD?

​

The ÖSD certificate is officially recognised by Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and many institutions around the world for university admissions, professional employment, and visa purposes. Since it reflects a pluricentric model of the German language , it offers learners a broader linguistic and cultural understanding. ÖSD is especially important for those planning to live, study, or work in Austria , and is also accepted for fulfilling language integration requirements in Austria and Germany. With its balanced focus on real-life communication and academic skills, ÖSD has become a trusted and versatile qualification for German learners worldwide.
