Brush Up Your English: Get Ready for the Semester (A2-C1)

This brush-up course helps you get ready for the semester by revising core vocabulary and grammar and applying them in both writing and speaking. The emphasis is on general English, with some academic English common across disciplines. The exercises give participants plenty opportunity to express themselves in English and develop confidence, fluency and accuracy.

“Brush Up” is a flexible series of courses on different levels between A2 and C1. All courses take place on the same days and at the same time. After the registration deadline, we will put you into a group that best matches your level.
