Your progress throughout your English program will be closely monitored, and once you reach the specified EC level, you will be admitted to your degree program, without having to sit for an official exam.

3 earn credits You will be able to gain real experience of academic life through auditing classes, which means you can attend some of the university’s courses in your free time.

This will ensure you leave university with the best degree from the most suitable institution, and with the most powerful experiences to help you achieve your future goals.

6 full access You will have access to all university facilities during your preparation, with no limit to your involvement.
