Annotation

As part of the internationalisation process and promotion of bi(multi)lingualism at the UK, the course with 135 contact lessons offers the opportunity to achieve mastery of the basics of the language with a specific focus on students. Although students do not aspire to pass a general certified examination at A1 or A2 level (CCE), they can achieve proficiency at the borderline between these two levels and have this proficiency confirmed by a micro-certificate as a possible outcome of the language course. In multilingual Europe, they will be able to demonstrate a declared basic knowledge of another language.
