In-Sessional English for Academic Purposes 26/27
University of SunderlandOn campus, United Kingdom
Course overview
Are you a registered student at the University? Do you want to improve your English language and academic skills? This In-Sessional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) short course is for you.
The course includes two module types: These modules are for students from all subjects. Most are for if you speak English as a second or foreign language. We also offer courses if you've studied in English or speak English as your first language.
These modules are for students studying business-related subjects. They're suitable for you if your first language isn't English. Both modules will help your development so you can do well in your main course.
We organise classes by level and skill, so you can choose the areas you want to improve in. Each semester divides into two five-week teaching blocks and you can take up to two courses per block. Please note, you'll complete these modules alongside your main course.
They don't count for credits towards your degree.
