Academic English Program (16 to 64 weeks)

The Academic English Program is offered at three different levels and designed for students with conditional admission to Western University, King's or Huron University Colleges and those pursuing ESL studies. We cultivate student success by developing communicative skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking – in conjunction with the cultural knowledge required to thrive in Western’s demanding academic environment.Depending on your skill level with the English language when you apply, you will study anywhere from one to three terms, for up to 20 hours per week. Each term is 16 weeks in length. We can accommodate any level of English proficiency. Our Levels Chart will help you determine how much time will be required for you to successfully complete the program.
