    About

    Why choose this course?

    This Online Pre-sessional English & Academic Skills course is designed for International students whose first language is not English, and who already have IELTS 4.5 or equivalent. The successful completion of the course will mean you have met the English language requirements for entry to the University (IELTS 6.0/6.5, CEFR B2 - https://www.ielts.org/about-ielts/ielts-in-cefr-scale) and to progress to your chosen undergraduate or postgraduate course. If you start this course with higher initial grades (or if you are prepared to put in extra work during the course), you may also be able to achieve an IELTS 6.5 equivalent (with 6.0 in Reading and Writing), for entry onto course with a higher English language requirement, such as Law and Psychology.

    During this course, you will extend your range, accuracy and use of language (reading, writing, listening and speaking) while developing knowledge about the learning context for Higher Education in the UK, as well as the language and academic skills necessary for successful University study.

    The course aims to develop confidence in your use of English, with a focus on communication skills in an academic context and the development of a student voice through the application of critical thinking. On completion of the course, you should feel well prepared to start your chosen course of study at the University of Wolverhampton.

    You may also choose to do this course as a stand-alone option if you simply want to improve your Academic English in readiness for further study at a later date as the course qualification in valid for two years.

    Foundation Programme

    We offer two International Foundation Year (IFY) programmes, allowing progression onto a wide range of undergraduate degrees at the University of Wolverhampton:

    • The 1 Year stand-alone International Foundation Year (IFY)
    • The 4 Year integrated International Foundation Year (IFY) programme which includes a foundation year and degree

    The 1 year stand-alone International Foundation Year (IFY) course is designed for international students (yr for students for whom English is not their first language) whose qualifications are insufficient for direct entry to undergraduate study and/or those whose English language level does not meet the minimum criteria. The 1 year IFY course provides preparation in academic subjects, English language and study skills up to the required level for progression onto most undergraduate degree courses at the University of Wolverhampton (subject to professional body requirements) in Arts; Education, Health and Wellbeing; Science and Engineering and Social Sciences. The IFY is delivered at our Telford and City Campuses. Entry to these foundation programmes may require you to have studied specific subjects at high school

    The 4 Year International Foundation Year (IFY) integrated degree routes in Arts; Education, Health and Wellbeing; Science and Engineering and Social Sciences are designed for international students (or for students for whom English is not their first language). This route will suit students whose qualifications fall below the entry requirements to undergraduate study and/or those whose English language level does not meet the minimum criteria. The 4 year integrated IFY courses prepare students in academic subjects, English language and study skills enabling progression onto most undergraduate degree courses at the University of Wolverhampton, subject to professional body requirements. The IFY is delivered at both of our Telford and City campuses. Entry to these foundation programmes may require you to have studied specific subjects at high school.
