Flexible preparation for all academic programmes

This programme will allow you to study and succeed on any of our academic programmes without comprehension difficulties. 

Beyond the basic grounding in grammar you will focus on the common terms used regularly in academic subjects; expressions and general terms that you will be expected to understand on progression to higher academic programmes. 

Academic English can be studied alongside an academic programme or as preparation for an academic programme if your English Language level isn’t high enough to begin straight away.
