English Language for international Students<br />
Pre-sessional English Foundation Programme (September and January start)<br />
This one-semester course is designed to prepare international students for academic<br />
study at a British university. The minimum entry requirement is IELTS 4.5# or equivalent<br />
(e.g.TOEFL 475# written/152# computer based). It is expected that by the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
course students will reach the equivalent <strong>of</strong> IELTS 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for<br />
postgraduates and will be ready to undertake their chosen degree programme. Please<br />
see our information for international students on page 18.<br />
The teaching and learning <strong>of</strong> English involves a variety <strong>of</strong> language activities in speaking,<br />
listening, reading and writing. Students also sit in on lectures in their chosen area <strong>of</strong><br />
degree study.The programme develops both general and academic English language<br />
skills.<br />
English Support Classes<br />
We provide a number <strong>of</strong> English language support classes for international students<br />
for whom English is not the first language. Our academic writing class is particularly<br />
successful.<br />
International students may also take the module ‘English language and communication<br />
skills’ on the undergraduate modular scheme as a 20 credit option.<br />
#Valid for 2 years from date <strong>of</strong> testing.<br />
