We run Pre-Sessional English (PSE) courses in the UK and online to help you to raise your English language level to meet the entry requirements of your main course. They also prepare you to study in the field of art and design or business at UCA.

Courses run for six weeks, ten weeks and 15 weeks, depending on how much support you need.

Taking a Pre-Sessional English course will not only help you improve your language skills, but it will also help you with your studies and research, and give you more confidence as you settle into UK life. Find out more by visiting out international section.

pre-sessional courses

You must apply for your chosen main course at UCA before you applying for a Pre-sessional English course. We recommend that you book your place as soon as possible as places are limited.

If you already have an offer for one of our courses, you can apply for a Pre-sessional English course by contacting the International Admissions team on internationaladmissions@uca.ac.uk with your full name, student number, date of birth, chosen Pre-sessional course and a scanned copy of your IELTS certificate.

 

In certain individual circumstances, we may offer a 4-week preparation course in academic skills to ensure the success of your study at UCA.
