English for Native Speakers courses

Academic English language courses are available for all students who have English as a first language, for example, if your secondary education was completed in the UK or for students of English who have the equivalent of IELTS 8 or above.

We are offering five-week courses designed to help you develop your English language and academic skills and support you in your main course of study. 

In semester 2 our teaching is divided into two Blocks: Block C and Block D.

In Block C, EAP teaching begins week commencing 3rd February and, in Block D, EAP classes will begin week commencing 24th March 2025 . Each course requires you to attend two hours per week, plus an additional 30 minutes is available for tutorials.

You're allowed to choose ONE or TWO courses per teaching block, or a total of four courses per semester.
