While drawing on the framework of the international First Certificate in English (FCE) examination, the course prioritizes the practical use of English in academic and professional settings.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Standard Course Completion
To qualify for the final grade, students must pass the course final exam. The final exam grade is the overall course grade.
Grading System:
The final exam assesses four core skills: Listening (25 points), Vocabulary (25 points), Grammar (30 points), and Writing (20 points).
Note on Plagiarism: All submitted work must be the result of the student’s own independent effort. AI-generated texts (e.g., produced by tools such as ChatGPT or similar systems) are not considered original student work and will not be accepted.
Completion for Students with Individual Study Plans
Completion Based on International Certificate
Instead of taking English Language B2, students may present one of the following internationally recognised certificates, completed within the last five years: CAE or CPE. Other certificates are not accepted.
Completion Based on an Exam at a Foreign University
A course completed within the Erasmus programme at a foreign university that corresponds in content and level to English Language B2 and includes a final exam may be recognised as equivalent.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is not mandatory for the combined mode of study, though it is strongly encouraged. The final exam, however, must be taken in person.
Aims
The aim of the course is to develop students’ ability to use English independently and fluently at the B2 CEFR level. Emphasis is placed on building the four core language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—through practical tasks and communicative activities in both general and business contexts.
