Entry requirements

There are no specific entry requirements other than the student’s level of English. The module is intended for students with a proficiency level of at least low B2 (intermediate/upper-intermediate).

You will be asked to come to the EMA before the beginning of the semester to take a “Placement Test“.

The module will enable students to:

The module is divided into six sessions covering the following topics:

To receive a certificate for the module, students are expected to:

• attend all six sessions
• do all required coursework
