Course content

On our presessional courses you will practise the academic English and skills needed to complete academic tasks such as:

  • writing academic essays

  • reading academic texts

  • listening to lectures & taking notes

  • participating in seminar discussions

  • presenting complex issues

EAP presessional programme overview

Our presessional courses are for students who wish to improve their academic English before beginning a taught postgraduate course at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. Students will learn more about studying at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ and will develop a solid foundation from which to succeed. Successful completion of LN905 is a way to fulfil the language requirements of a conditional offer to study at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, but the course is much more than that and you will see the benefits throughout your time studying at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳.

 

Small group tutorials

In addition to classes, one of our expert teachers will be your designated tutor for the duration of the programme. They will provide feedback on tasks you complete during the programme and will monitor your progress throughout the course.

 

Teaching team

All our teachers are fully qualified and combine extensive teaching experience with an EAP specialism in one or more of the subjects offered by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ departments.

 

What is English for Academic Purposes (EAP)?

Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programmes focus on the skills required to perform successfully in an English speaking academic environment across the core subject areas you will encounter during your time at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳.

We have presessional programmes if you are about to commence study at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. These give you an excellent foundation for your studies at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. Also, passing the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Language Test is one way of fulfilling your ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ English language requirement.

We also have insessional programmes to support you during your time at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. These are taken alongside your other subjects and focus on the specific linguistic demands of your field, for example Law or Management.
