The language exam is an examination required for certain students who has not yet taken a language test or who has taken an insufficient language test. The candidate will therefore not be admitted. If the language exam is insufficient, no diploma evaluation will be requested from Nuffic.

This requirement is created when a candidate still has to hand in a language test and the candidate must hand this in before the start date of the project. All this time the candidate remains in the status: PhD registration.

If a satisfactory language exam has been submitted, then this requirement is set to 'Mark resolved'. The result of the language test will then appear in the commentary field.

This requirement is also created if the candidate is given a postponement for the language test. This must be clearly documented somewhere (at the bottom of the page you can add any remarks underneath 'comments'. See picture below).

The Doctoral Sercie Centre has to set up the language exam for the PhD candidate.
