This
interdisciplinary course is tailored to the needs of Bulgarian
students, lawyers, and economists. It complements and upgrades
knowledge and expertise gained in the foundation Legal English
course, but equips students with a variety of approches to
overlapping and often conflicting areas in law and finance. The
course, further, aims to enhance the linguistic competences and
sensibilities of both lawyers and economists.
It may be of use for aspirants for the ICFE (International Certificate in Financial English) by ACCA & Cambridge ESOL.
