Autumn Pre-sessional English: 5 weeks
Our Pre-Sessional English language course is specifically designed to prepare you to study art and design at UCA. The 5 week course will improve your IELTS by 0.5 which can help you to meet the language requirement for your main course of study.
We welcome students who speak English as second language, and those who are simply new to a university environment. Our tutors can help you to communicate effectively and creatively in your chosen field as well as develop intercultural skills.
By undertaking a Pre-Sessional English course you will not only improve your IELTS score, but also improve your academic English, expand your art and design vocabulary, develop your research skills, boost your confidence as a creative arts student in the UK and help you to understand more about living and studying here.
This Autumn Pre-Sessional English courses is available if you are progressing onto the Graduate Diploma: Art, Design & Design or the International Foundation in Art, Design & Media courses starting in January 2021.
