Those who pass at the required level may enter the Freshman year in the department of their choice. All others must take a Placement Test . The aim of this program is to bring students to a level where they can understand lectures, read academic textbooks, participate in classroom discussions and acquire the study skills necessary for university-level work. The length of the program depends on a student s success and level of English. That is, a student whose level of English on entry to the program is just below the required standard for university entrance may complete the program in one semester.
Most students however require two semesters to reach the required level.
