Many students will do this through extensive reading and listening but others may need to attend writing workshops or take other forms of instruction. All first-year students, regardless of their language background, are required to have their academic English language skills assessed at the beginning of their studies. DELNA is the assessment that allows us to identify your level of academic English. If you need to improve your skills, we can then direct you to the most appropriate sources of language development within the University. DELNA is only for students who are enrolled at The University of Auckland, there is no cost, the results do not appear on any academic record and it does not affect your enrolment. It is in place so that we can enable students to enjoy more success in their studies.
