Pre-sessional English (16 week)

Our Pre-sessional courses are for undergraduate and postgraduate international students who have a firmly accepted conditional offer (CF) to study a degree at Kent but do not have the required level of English to allow them to start their intended degree programme. If you complete the Pre-sessional course and achieve a final grade that meets your condition of entry, you will not need to take an IELTS examination. The courses cover: what it is like to study at a UK university and what is expected of students skills in academic reading, writing, critical thinking and using academic sources; listening effectively in lectures and classes, and taking notes; speaking in seminars and delivering presentations; the IT systems and e-learning platforms used at Kent.
