There are a total of four separate economic English courses (A-B-C-D) within the scope of the Economic English Credit-point Courses. All the courses (A, B, C and D) run concurrently during each semester.
According to the Common European Reference Framework on Languages ([CEFR](https://www.coe.int/en/web/common-european-framework-reference-languages)), the target of this course corresponds to level C1.1.
