Pre-sessional English courses for applicants

If you are an international student who has applied to The University of Liverpool, or another UK university, we can help you improve your English language skills to the standard needed to progress onto your chosen degree.

Whether you have applied to join an undergraduate, master’s or research degree, a Pre-sessional English course can help improve your proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and listening. You will also develop valuable study skills.

Our Pre-sessional English courses are accredited by the British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes (BALEAP).

If you have already studied a Pre-sessional English course at another UK university, we may be able to accept this on a case-by-case basis.

You must have completed the course at a Russell Group university or studied a Pre-sessional English course accredited by BALEAP. Additional conditions apply.
