About Pre-Sessional English Language
Program Description
Pre-sessional English language and academic skills development course is for international students who need to meet an English language condition for entry to degree-level study at the University of Chester. The PSE course will involve UK-based tutors teaching students in class groups of up to 15 students, online or in-person. There are 35 hours of learning time per week which consist of:
- Guided input, specific for each day, for students to work through on Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), called Moodle
- Live interaction with UK tutors in the form of larger group webinars and smaller group seminars conducted via Microsoft Teams or in-person
- 1-1 tutorials conducted via Microsoft Teams or in-person with UK tutors for personalised feedback on students work
- Live interaction with classmates during guided input time
- Guided and structured independent study
- Weekly writing tasks with formative feedback provided
- Structured and guided research projects with formative feedback provided
- A personalised portfolio containing work from the course
- Exit assessments of reading, writing, listening and speaking skills which students will need to pass in order to progress onto their chosen degree programme.
5 Week Pre-sessional (4 weeks teaching + 1 week assessment) and 9 Week Pre-sessional (8 weeks teaching + 1 week assessment) courses available.
Those that pass the PSE course and progress to their degree study will have the PSE fee waived by putting it towards their tuition fee.
Note: Students will be offered a place on one of University of Chester's courses after an application has been submitted. This program can only be applied to in combination with an academic program for the purpose of obtaining language-specific conditional admission. Any applications submitted to these programs without an accompanying academic program will result in cancellation.
