Course overview

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) prepares students for study at Southern Cross University. Our intensive EAP program runs three times a year, just before university classes begin. EAP builds on existing English language abilities in reading, writing, speaking and listening. It then develops students’ academic and digital literacy practices, including: researching, referencing, note taking, using the Southern Cross University Learning Management System and giving presentations.

Admission requirements: Students will be assigned to an appropriate English language level based on proficiency scores (e.g. SCU College English Language Test, IELTS) presented on application. Successful completion of EAP provides direct entry to a range of Southern Cross University degrees.
