The right option for you
Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course can help prepare you for undergraduate or postgraduate study. Depending on your needs, we offer a range of options from a refresher 5 week course to a more comprehensive 30 week course.
Once you have successfully completed any of these courses, you will meet the English entry requirements for your desired degree. Plus, you will already know your way around campus and be familiar with our online learning tools.
