IBK Abroad 

The „Institut für Internationale Bildungskooperation an der Hochschule Merseburg gGmbH“ („IBK“, engl. Institute for international educational cooperations) is a non-profit affiliated institute of the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences. Our mission is to develop, organize and support international education projects.  

Starting in the winter semester 2023/24, IBK gGmbH will offer interested program participants, foreign students, apprentices, and professionals the opportunity to take the telc examination for levels A1, A2, B1, B2 (also for care workers) as well as C1 on the premises of Merseburg University of Applied Sciences. 

telc certifications are considered an essential prerequisite for entry to Germany as a professional. They also serve as the basis for foreign participants’ access to higher education and apprenticeship in Germany. 

Next to the premises in Merseburg, it is also possible to take the telc examination at our branch office in Hanoi with our partner TACOM. The focus is on telc examinations (levels A2 and B1) for prospective students who either attend a further language course at the State Preparatory Language College at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences or directly take up studies at the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences. Furthermore, foreign professionals or those interested in an apprenticeship can take the telc examination to continue their professional development in Germany. IBK gGmbH also assists with the administrative processes for entry into Germany. 

We are offering different dates for examinations at our test center to give students more choice. The location for examination is indicated below.
