KIE-32106 English for Architects, 3 cr

Lisätiedot

This is a two-period (48 h) course tailored as English language practice for students of architecture. The course materials cover terminology, idiomatic expressions, and grammar appropriate to architecture, which students will practice through a variety of written assignments and oral presentations such as descriptions and reports of materials and phases of construction, structural design, and related business correspondence such as building permission and tender applications.

When the course is over-subscribed, i.e., when more students register than can be admitted to the course, students are enrolled according to the target groups and the time of their registration. Students on the sign-up and waiting list must attend the first class meeting to secure a place on the course.
