If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.
Throughout this course, you'll be assessed in various ways, but be assured - our assessments are here to supplement your enrichment and employability. Some of our assessments include regular informal assessments, Curriculum Studies and Professional Inclusive Practice.
