After successfully completing this module, students will:
- have gained knowledge about technical language in the field of construction management
- be able to understand moderately difficult to difficult newspaper and magazine articles in the German-language press, as well as complex (radio) reports
- be able to understand oral discussions and specialist texts from the range of topics covered by the degree program
- be able to present topics related to their studies or topics from the current socio-political spectrum confidently in writing and orally
