Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to understand long texts on a variety of topics that have quite advanced structural and lexical requirements. In addition, they will be able to distinguish the main content of the text and find specific points in it. Furthermore, students will be able to discuss various themes, give accounts of their experiences, express and justify their own opinions, ask specifying questions during the conversation, and obtain additional information that they may require.

In cases where more students register for a course than space allows, priority is assigned as follows:

1. First priority is given to the degree students of the University of Tampere.
2. Second priority is given to the exchange students of the University of Tampere.
3. Third priority is given to the Tampere3 students and to the high school students of the UTA Teacher Training School.

In addition, there is a quota of 5 for the Open University students in every group.
