ENGLISH

AND FUNDING
At Keele we have summer Pre-Sessional English
programmes for students who have
not reached the required level of English language
for their main programme of study.
The courses offer approximately
21 hours of language tuition per
week from experienced and highly
qualified staff covering all skills
needed to help students excel in
English for academic purposes.
To complement the classes there
is also a comprehensive social and
cultural programme to help students
practise and increase confidence in
natural surroundings whilst exploring
some of the best places of interest
and settling in to life in the UK.
When students submit their existing
test scores, staff will advise on the
length of course required to help
them achieve the scores required
for the degree of their choice.
