About Pre-Sessional English Language with Study Skills

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 provide students with training in the academic use of English, as well as important study skills to prepare students for degree-level study. The course will cover reading, writing, listening and speaking, empowering students to fully engage with university life and academic study.

Course duration: 5, 10, 15 or 20 weeks
IELTS improvement: 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 levels respectively

All students study the following modules:

  • English for Academic Purposes
  • Independent Project

  • English for Academic Study: Grammar and Vocabulary 3
  • English for Academic Study: Speaking and Listening 3
