Candidates are expected to have active knowledge of English, enabling them to express themselves fluently on topics related to university studies, their interests, and their fields of study. Their vocabulary and grammar must correspond to at least level B1 (see the GEN1 and GEN2 courses).

The exam has a written and an oral part and tests the knowledge of general English. The written part tests the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, while the oral part tests the ability to engage in conversation spontaneously without prior preparation. It also assesses fluency of speech, pronunciation and the ability to use grammar and vocabulary covered in the compulsory literature. The student is required to score at least 50% in both parts of the exam.

There are no lessons.

The aim of the examination is to assess students' ability to communicate independently in English at a minimum B1 level. Students who successfully pass the GEN3 examination can understand the main ideas of comprehensible input relating to everyday life, university studies and future careers. 

During the examination, students will demonstrate active knowledge of the following:

• subject-specific vocabulary relating to areas of higher education, study strategies, personal development, interpersonal relationships, current topics within their field of study and future career prospects;
• grammatical structures, and their specific use in various communicative contexts.

The skills assessed include the ability to:

• speak confidently and coherently on topics relating to university studies, personal life, social events, technological developments and future career plans;
• describe and compare facts, events and experiences, formulate and explain opinions and attitudes and justify them.
• participate actively in a discussion; respond promptly to questions and comments from the conversation partner; develop the conversation; and respond appropriately to its progress.
• express oneself fluently and clearly using appropriate and varied vocabulary;
• apply key grammatical structures of the English language correctly and appropriately in spontaneous speech.

Study resources are available in the information system. The e-learning course uses the Moodle LMS and includes interactive exercises to help students practise and assess their understanding of the topics covered, and to support their independent study. The course also provides detailed information on the exam, study guidelines and supplementary materials, available to download.
