English Language support
International students
Improving your English doesn't have to be daunting – our events and learning programmes help you speak, write and understand the language in friendly, accessible settings.
You can also take a Pre-Sessional English course if you need to improve your English skills before you start your course.

Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme is open to undergraduate students (BA, BSc) and postgraduate students (MA, MSc, PhD). During these weekly classes – which you can take while you study your main course – you'll get help and the chance to join workshops on subjects including:
- Essay writing
