English Excellence course

MU English Excellence: Matura Final Sprint 

Seven weeks to the Matura. Three days to get ready. 

Use your Easter break to sharpen the skills that move your English grade, and your confidence. Small groups, experienced trainers, real exam tasks and personal feedback. 

22–24 March 2027 · Modul University Vienna · Ages 16–19 · English level B1+ to C1 · €299 incl. lunch 

Why join? 

• Practise what the exam actually asks. You write, read and listen under real exam conditions, then learn exactly where you lose points and how to stop.
• Get feedback on your own work. Groups of max 15, sorted by level, so trainers know your writing and can tell you what to fix first.
• Leave with a plan. You go home with a personal action plan for the final weeks before the exam, so your revision time goes where it counts.

What is English Excellence? 

English Excellence is a three-day English intensive run by Modul University Vienna for students in their final school years. It isn't extra grammar lessons. It's focused practice on the tasks of the written English Matura, plus the speaking and presenting skills you need for university and beyond. 

You'll also learn how to use AI tools responsibly to check and improve your English — and where they let you down. 

How the week works 

Day 1 — Write under pressure · Monday 22 March, 9:00–15:00 

The Matura text types, how to plan a text in five minutes, and a timed writing task with feedback on what costs you points. 

Day 2 — Read, listen, speak · Tuesday 23 March, 9:00–15:00 

Strategies for every reading and listening task type, activating the vocabulary you already know, and short discussions and presentations in small teams. Plus: using AI tools to improve your texts without letting them write for you. 

Day 3 — Mock exam and action plan · Wednesday 24 March, 9:00–15:00 

A full written task under exam conditions, one-to-one feedback from your trainer, and your personal plan for the final weeks before the exam. 

Who can join? 

• Students aged 16–19, mainly those taking the English Matura in May 2027

• Students at any school in Vienna and surroundings: AHS, BHS, private or international
• A short online placement test after booking (by 14 March) puts you in the right group

FAQ 

What level do I need? B1+ to C1. If you're doing the English Matura at school, you're almost certainly in range. The online placement test after booking places you in the right group. 

How much does it cost? €299 for the three days, if you book by 7 February. Materials, lunch and snacks are included. After the 7 of February € 350.

I'm under 18 — do I need a consent form? Yes. Download it when you register, have a parent or guardian sign it, then email it to us or bring it on Day 1. You can finish your registration and payment without it. 

What happens after I book? You get a confirmation email with your receipt and a link to a short online placement test. Complete it by 14 March so we can put you in the right group. About a week before the course, you get a welcome email with the schedule and an invite to the course WhatsApp group. 

Is this Cambridge exam preparation? No. The course focuses on the Austrian English Matura and on general communication skills. You get an MU certificate of participation, not an official exam certificate. 

Can I come with friends? Yes. Add their names in the form. If you're at a similar level, we put you in the same group. 

What if I can't come after all? Full refund until 1 March. After that, you can give your place to a classmate — just email us their name. 

Where is it? Modul University Vienna, Am Kahlenberg 1, 1190 Vienna. Bus 38A from Heiligenstadt to the Kahlenberg stop. 

Findet der Kurs auf Englisch statt? Ja. Du musst aber kein perfektes Englisch sprechen – unsere Trainer:innen unterstützen dich.
