Pre-sessional English
We offer Pre-sessional English courses for applicants who have not quite reached the IELTS level required for their degree course.
These courses help you to develop your academic language and study skills so that you can study effectively at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Successful completion of the course means that you will not need to take another IELTS exam.
