You will need to have achieved IELTS 4.5 in order to begin the International Foundation Year. If you require additional language training before you start your academic programme you can first join the intensive English Language Preparation (ELP) course, delivered at the International Study Centre.

If you have an IELTS level of 4.0 you will need at least one term of English language training and at least two terms if you are currently at IElTS 3.0.

If you don’t have a current IELTS grade, you may still apply to the ISC. Please contact us to find out about alternative assessment of your English language level.

Applications are being accepted for ELP start in June 2008, September 2008 and January 2009. We will help you through every step of the admissions process. Apply for this course
