An international examination in Turkish for the first time in Russia

Such testing makes it possible to determine the level of proficiency in Turkish as a foreign language and is recognised by the leading test associations in Europe. The examination results confirm the language proficiency in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Passing this examination is required for admission to Turkish universities. This test will therefore be useful to students, applicants and anyone who learns Turkish as a foreign language. At St Petersburg University, this language is learned by over 70 people.

They will be required to confirm their language proficiency for further study of the language and culture, as well as for working abroad. University graduates are issued a diploma of education, yet it is often insufficient for foreign companies, and it is an international certificate that can become the key reason for the employer.

The first test session of the Turkish Proficiency Exam will be held at the end of January 2019.

Turkish is one of the 20 foreign languages you can take a test in at St Petersburg University within the framework of the project «Centre for Testing Oriental Language Proficiency». For example, St Petersburg University organises the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK); the first examination period in Hebrew is scheduled for the end of the year; examinations in Japanese, Arabic and Persian will take place in the long term.
