For learners who do not yet meet the English language requirements of their chosen degree programme, we are offering a new, 100% online pre-sessional English qualification, that supports entry throughout the academic year.

The pre-sessional English (PSE) Online Award aims to prepare you for UK academic study. Successfully completing the award will help you to:

  • develop key academic and research skills
  • improve your reading and writing skills, including how to write in the correct academic style using references and sources

The PSE Team works closely with University faculties and academic staff, and the PSE course reflects academic practices found on our University degree programmes.
