Entry Requirements/
Participants
The table above
shows the range of language levels
accepted for each course. You
will be tested on arrival. If
your level is higher or lower
than the range for that course,
you may be moved to one of our
General and Advanced courses.
These three
courses are designed for undergraduates
and postgraduates intending
to begin studies at the University
of Edinburgh at the end of the
summer. Some students attending
the courses will have conditional
places at the University of
Edinburgh and it is particularly
important that they read
the advice on English language
test scores and minimum recommended
preparation periods, so
that they allow themselves time
to make sufficient progress
and achieve their College's
English entry requirement.

Course
These courses
provide intensive training in
the skills needed for academic
study through English:
- Lecture comprehension
and note-taking
- Effective reading
- Essay writing
- Participation
in seminars
They also feature
activities to extend students'
basic command of English grammar
and academic vocabulary.
The Pre-Summer
Course and Course 1 provide practice
in these key language skills separately.
In Course 2 we move to
integrated skills practice, with
students using the skills in combination,
on the topic of English as an
international language.
In these three courses, classes
are formed by language level,
measured on our EAP placement
tests.
The courses can
be taken singly or in combination.
Students with conditional places
at the University of Edinburgh
must complete their minimum recommended
preparation period before the
end-of-course assessment.
