There is also In-sessional English language support throughout your time studying with us.

Pre-sessional English

Pre-sessional English Language Support courses are designed to help improve your English before you start your degree.

You can study either the 6-week course or the 10-week course, depending on your IELTS scores.

Your offer letter tells you which English Language Band you need to meet. This will be one of 10 English Language Bands which are listed below:

In-sessional English
