The learning outcomes of this module are pitched at a B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.   Students are reminded that this is a subject covering English for Specific Purposes, and is NOT a General English course.  Likewise, they are reminded that the study of language requires preseverance and continuity over time.
