Goal
The final year of the Licence programme at the faculty will give students the opportunity to obtain external recognition and validation of their level of English by preparing and sitting an official Toeic test. This should prove an asset for any student applying for jobs, work placements or for entry to one of the many business schools or post graduate courses which already currently use the Toeic test to assess their own students Students should note that as of September 2007 changes to the format of the existing Toeic test will be introduced and you are advised to visit the following website for further information http://www.ets.org
