TIMETABLE AND CURRICULUM

Our Pre-sessional programme consists of 2.5 hours per week of each of the following core academic subjects:

  • Mathematics
  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Business or Biology
  • Economics

Lessons in these core subjects will expand your language specific to these subjects and maintain your subject knowledge and skills. The remainder of the timetable is made up of English. Lessons in English will raise your proficiency in the use of general and academic English, improving your communication skills and giving you the ability to write a range of texts in a variety of registers with improved grammatical and lexical accuracy. For students of compulsory school age (13-16 years old), the programme includes one lesson of Physical Education (PE) per week.
