Erasmus + Online Linguistic Support

The Online Linguistic Support (OLS) has been designed to assist Erasmus+ participants in improving their knowledge of the language in which they will work or study

The OLS offers online language assessments (mandatory) and language courses to participants in Erasmus+ mobility activities of at least three months (studies/traineeships)

In one of the following languages as the main language of instruction or work: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch.

The results of your language assessment do not prevent you from taking part in the Erasmus+ mobility. For Higher Education students, the results are not communicated to the receiving institution/organisation.

Erasmus+ OLS

Two mandatory assessments: one prior to your departure one upon your return

You will receive a link to the assessment to your AAU student email about 1 month prior to departure

The assessment takes approx. 40 to 50 minutes, and consists of questions regarding e.g. grammar, vocabulary and comprehension with a total of 70 questions.

You will have 30 days to fulfill the assessment

The result is automatically sent to the Erasmus+ coordinator

Erasmus+ OLS

Results are ranged from level A1 (lowest score) to C2 (highest score)

If your result is B1 (or lower) you have the opportunity to follow an online language course during your stay abroad in order to improve your language competence, if you wish to.
