English language courses

The UNSW Institute of Languages offers courses that provide first-class preparation for study at UNSW through its English for Academic Purposes Program. Courses are specifically designed to improve students’ English language skills in order to meet the UNSW English entry requirements and to successfully undertake studies at UNSW. 

Course Details:

• The University English Entry Course (UEEC) - developed for students who have received a conditional offer from UNSW and need to meet the UNSW English entry requirements. The UEEC features lessons based on authentic lectures and articles by UNSW academics. The course is further enhanced through the use of online learning and teaching activities. Students are continuously assessed throughout the course with regular feedback provided on their progress. Students with a conditional offer who pass the UEEC do not need to re-take an IELTS or similar test, and will be admitted directly to UNSW. Overall, the UEEC provides the ideal introduction and preparation for study at UNSW.
• The Tertiary Orientation Program (TOP) - aimed at students who have received a full offer from UNSW but wish to further develop their English language skills in order to get the most out of their academic studies at UNSW. The course also enables students to develop study skills, critical thinking, and advanced reading and discussion skills.
• The Pre-Foundation Year English Course (PFY) - designed for students seeking to enter the UNSW Foundation Studies programs. Students develop language and study skills through integrated lessons which feature speaking and pronunciation, listening, grammar, academic reading and writing.
