edc
ECTS 2.0
Level C1 / C2
Overview In all walks of life, be they professional, academic or private, students will find that they often need to explain and/or defend their point of view in a particular case. It is therefore helpful for them to be able to construct good arguments in English, for example during meetings and discussions.

By developing debating skills, students will also learn how to remain confident and in control, even during difficult discussions. This is an important skill, especially for business life, representing an advanced form of language learning and a central goal of communication.
