English language skills
If you're an international student you may need to improve your English language skills before you come to university.
The best way to do this is by attending a pre-sessional course at the University's English Language Centre (ELC).
Our pre-sessional courses not only improve your language but also help you to develop all the academic communication skills you need for university study.
Our Academic English courses are accredited by BALEAP (British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes).
Pre-sessional English courses
Pre-sessional English courses are for students who have an offer to study at the University of Bath or another university.
Choose a pre-sessional course to:
- improve your language level to meet the conditions of your offer
- improve your academic English to prepare yourself for degree-level study.
The Pre-sessional Course Report can be used as proof of English language level to meet the conditions of your offer from the University of Bath.
