Prerequisite for entry
Successful completion of syllabus D at the UCL CLIE, a high A level grade*, or if you have a very good grasp of the language and are able to conduct a conversation without difficulty.
Aims and objectives
The course is designed for advanced level students. It teaches specialised vocabulary to enable participants to use their language skills in a professional environment, such as meetings and conferences, as well as covering related topics such as current affairs and the latest trends in society. The course will enhance knowledge of life, society and business culture using complex and linguistically accurate structures (different types of discourse, register).
Cultural awareness will be further developed and raised within a European/global context. Language learning skills, including autonomous learning and how to approach authentic material, will be further enhanced. Various transferable skills will also be covered.
