English language preparation doesn’t typically include academic preparation. However, in many cases, you will have the option to add academic preparation to your course, to help you feel more ready for the next level of your studies.
How do I know if I need to do an English language preparation course?
Don’t worry, as you won’t need to assess this yourself — when you apply for a degree or degree preparation course, we will let you know if you need to take any additional English language preparation.
