For you to gain the maximum advantage from your study at Brunel, the University requires all overseas students whose first language is not English to be able to write, speak and understand English well.
Poor ability makes lectures and classes difficult.
Use of the library, success in examinations and social contact all depend on a good knowledge of the language. In some cases, the University may ask you to prove your command of English. As a guide, the levels of attainment shown in the table are the minimum considered satisfactory for entry to study at Brunel. English language tuition either during your course or immediately prior to joining your course is available from Brunel's Language Centre, but it must be stressed that this is to improve already existing skills. Classes are available four days a week during the Autumn and Spring to all registered students whose native language is not English.
