The Chinese Access Course is an intensive academic English and Study Skills course which runs for 37 teaching weeks.
All students have free internet access.
The initial aim of most students taking the course is to enter the University of St Andrews as undergraduates the following autumn. They are entitled to do this if they pass the course. If students subsequently decide that they wish to study subjects which are not available at St Andrews, the ELT Centre will assist them with their applications to other UK universities. The students on the course have all attended good high schools in China and have sound academic qualifications. Each candidate provides academic references, usually from school teachers.
