English Language Preparation
This intensive course will improve your English language skills up to the required level of IELTS 5.0.
You must have an English language level equivalent to IELTS 5.0 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 English language level equivalent to IELTS 4.0 you need one term of English language training. If you are currently at IELTS 3.0 you need two terms of ELP.
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.
