Pre Sessional English Language

Our Pre-Sessional English programme is designed to help students from around the world improve their academic and English language skills in preparation for undergraduate and postgraduate studies at Solent University. This is an intensive course where you will attend live teaching sessions with your class in addition to smaller group workshops and individual tutorials with your tutors.

There are three main aims of the Solent Pre-Sessional English programme:

to develop your academic English skills so you are confident in your use of English language at university level
to develop your academic study skills so you can perform successfully in your degree
to help you develop as an autonomous learner so you are able to do independent study and research while on your academic programme.
During this intensive programme, you will develop the skills you need to be successful on your future undergraduate or postgraduate degree course at Solent. While you will certainly work on the accuracy of your use of English language, one of the other aspects of the course is to develop your academic skills so you are ready for the challenges of studying in a UK university environment. In addition to the development of academic skills, you will also explore some topical and interesting aspects of life in the United Kingdom.

There are two entry points to the Pre-Sessional English programme, depending on your English language level and the language entry requirements for your degree course at Solent. The course duration is either 7 weeks or 12 weeks.
