KurzbeschreibungThis course is designed for Bachelor’s and Master’s students from all disciplines who wish to improve their English from C1 towards C2 level and train their language skills at mastery level. Selected academic English features are included to add value to the course to meet standard entrance requirements by leading universities and colleges worldwide.
LernzielParticipants should already have reached C1 level (advanced) as defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The course is also open to participants whose level is above C1.

The course aims to train and develop linguistic skills at mastery level, with a focus on formal and informal academic lexis, on listening and oral communication skills, and on increasing fluency, accuracy, and complexity of spoken language. Students will work on writing well-structured descriptive texts and argumentative essays, with the aim of fulfilling the language requirements for study at an English-speaking university or following university Master’s courses held in English.
