TestAS is intended for study applicants from non-EU countries planning to do undergraduate studies at German universities.

The benefits of TestAS

- The university can select the candidates who best fulfil the requirements for a subject.
- Test takers get to know the typical requirements of the subject they want to study.

TestAS is conducted in German and English. Upon registration, test takers select the language which they are most familiar with.
