1 Course contents:
The course will deal with the English necessary for the three branches of study offered by the Faculty Architecture, Urban Planning, and Landscape Planning. This class will provide the students with linguistic tools and (technical) vocabulary to deal with the academic and work-related content during their studies. The participants will build up skills to master tasks in reading, writing, listening and speaking. The major focus of this class is on the students themselves, their studies and personal interests. They have to decide on the topics they would like (or have) to deal with. The course offers a framework based on the requirements and specifications of the UNIcert system. This course is the second of three parts of the UNIcert II level.
