English Language Courses
English language courses are designed for international students whose English language abilities mean that extra study is required before starting undergraduate or postgraduate degrees at Lampeter or elsewhere in the UK.
Pre-sessional English Course
If you have an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) score of 6 or less and wish to improve your English before starting a degree, this is an intensive, 4 week course held in late August – September. You will receive intensive coaching in English, with an emphasis on the reading, writing, and note-taking skills that you will need for a degree programme, as well as join in with trips, orientation, and cultural events. Students who attend this programme will receive on-going language support during the academic year. Further Information...
Diploma in English for Academic Purposes (DEAP)
This flexible programme offers a pathway for non-native English speaking students into the portfolio of taught and research postgraduate degrees offered at Lampeter. The year long course helps you to develop your language and academic skills whilst enabling you to take subject-specific modules to help you to prepare for your postgraduate programme. The Diploma may be started in either October or January each year. Further information...
Ongoing support
If you already have an IELTS score but feel that you need extra support or practice during your study, you can attend weekly language support classes, in consultation with your tutor. These modules will help you improve your abilities in English, will bring you into contact with other international students, and give you the confidence to continue with your degree. To help you decide whether you need this support, on your arrival you will be invited to complete a language assessment test, held during the University’s induction week.
