Students will revise their general knowledge of English in a variety of task-based situations focused on the practical needs of engineers. The course is based on a script which contains the foundations of academic writing and also includes topical and exciting material from the world of technology. Students develop their specialist vocabulary on the basis of a self-study task which relates to their core subject. Students also receive the necessary input to pass the widely recognized academic IELTS exam, whereby international student mobility is fostered.
