English Foundation Course We will equip you with the skills and confidence you need to succeed at a British university. This is a 24-week intensive programme for students who have completed high school, but do not yet fulfill the entry requirements to secure a place on an undergraduate degree programme at a British University. This course aims to help all students to develop their full personal and academic potential. On successful completion of the course, students will possess the basic skills to achieve success in a British university.

Advanced students will also be expected to devote a further 3 hours per week to a university standard assignment in a specialisation of their own choosing relating to English, such as Twentieth Century English Literature.
