KIE-32106 English for Architects, 3 cr |
Additional information
This is a two-period (48 h) course tailored as English language practice for students of architecture. The course materials will 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 a course is over-subscribed, i.e. there are more sign-ups than places on the course, then we enrol the required number of students according to the sign-up time and target group. Students on the sign-up / waiting list have to be present on the first day of the course to be sure of retaining their place.
