Whether you are studying for your undergraduate or postgraduate degree, you will have the support of UCA’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Tutors. EAP lessons and 1:1 tutorials are available for all international students whose first language is not English.

Our in-sessional EAP tutors work closely with your academic lecturers to provide specialised language support for individual degree programmes. We offer a wide range of support, for example: 

  • academic skills workshops to explain key skills needed for successful study 
  • understanding project briefs and assessment criteria 
  • teaching effective research skills 
  • learning how to reference correctly and avoid plagiarism 
  • providing support with academic writing 

We also run monthly language cafés to help you gain confidence, improve your speaking skills, and meet other international students.
