English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is designed for international students who meet academic entry requirements for either their undergraduate or postgraduate course; however, they don’t yet meet the English proficiency required. The course builds both English Language skills and the academic skills students need to succeed at the university.
There are two levels of English for Academic Purposes (EAP 3 and EAP 4), which can be taken separately or together (20 weeks), depending on your English entry level and your destination degree. Each EAP level is undertaken full-time over 10 weeks.
