Developing Your English Language Skills
Studying the Pre-sessional English Language Preparation (PELP) course is a great way to raise your overall English proficiency by focusing on English language skills. These programmes are designed for students who want to progress to an International Year One programme. They will increase your understanding of academic study, whilst helping you to develop a wide range of essential English language skills.
The course content is designed to be engaging and interactive, providing multiple occasions to learn independently, with your fellow students, and with your tutors. We provide a comprehensive and targeted approach to enhance your English proficiency with selected up-to-date resources that give you clear feedback and learning opportunities.
You will be taught in small groups by a team of highly experienced tutors, and you will have a chance to work alongside students from other countries.
The course aims to increase your IELTS by 0.5 (per 5 weeks of study) or IELTS 1.0 (per 10 weeks of study) by successful completion of the course.
