No. VGUH publishes no format for the oral exam, so the course prepares you for the written exam only.
The Ergänzungsprüfung Deutsch (EPD) is the supplementary German exam an Austrian university requires before admission to a degree when your school certificate or your German falls short. Your admission letter (Zulassungsbescheid) names the supplementary exams you need. In Graz you take the EPD at the VGUH, the Vorstudienlehrgang der Grazer Universitäten und Hochschulen (the preparation programme of the Graz universities), run by the OeAD.
Teil 1 takes 100 minutes: excerpting, a summary gap text, word formation and academic structures at 10 points each, and detailed reading at 20 points. After a 15-minute break, Teil 2 takes 80 minutes: one Stellungnahme of at least 300 words on input texts, 40 points.
60 of 100, and at least half in each Teil. Inside Teil 1, Aufgaben 1a, 1b and 4 need half their points, and so do Aufgaben 2 and 3.
No. Graz has no listening part and counts 100 points with a pass at 60; Vienna's EPD since June 2026 has four parts including listening, 75 points and a pass at 45.
