UNIcert English is a standard foreign-language certificate at the university level that is recognised by universities and employers. To obtain a UNIcert certificate, you have to take certain courses at the university language centre and take a written and oral exam. UNIcert consists of four different levels, and the UNIcert certificate at each level can be acquired after taking a prescribed number of courses at that level. The number of courses varies to a certain extent depending on the language and level. You should have five to seven years of school English. An entrance test must be passed in order to proceed to UNIcert.
