Pre-Sessional English Language

Students will improve their English language level and gain valuable skills and knowledge ahead of their degree at the University of Essex, with a Pre-Sessional English course. All Pre-Sessional courses are taught at the University of Essex International College, located on the University campus.

The University of Essex International College offers a number of Pre-Sessional English (PSE) and Pre-Sessional courses for students with an offer to study a degree. If students have received a conditional offer where they meet the academic entry requirements but need to raise their English language level, a PSE course will help students reach the required standard. If students have an unconditional offer, a Pre-Sessional course will allow them to build on their research and study skills, and adapt to life in the UK.

This course will focus on enhancing students' English language level, preparing them for undergraduate and postgraduate degree studies. Students will develop their English grammar and vocabulary, and gain further reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
