ZOP - Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung
With the Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung(ZOP), you prove that you possess a variety of knowledge of the standard German language. This knowledge allows you to understand difficult texts, to express yourself easily, orally and in writing. The ZOP demonstrates the level of achievement equivalent to a Master's degree in the German language and is recognized in professional contexts. The certificate obtained after passing the ZOP will exempt you from having to take a entry language exam at German high schools and universities. This exam indicates a C2 language level (Advanced/Master) to the European Council.
