In our General English classes, you will develop your vocabulary and grammar as well as your reading, listening, speaking and writing skills.

Available classes

We offer courses at two different levels, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

• Advanced - equivalent to level C1 of the CEFR
• Proficiency - equivalent to level C2 of the of the CEFR

Depending on the agreement with the home institution, visiting and exchange students can get five credits if they complete either course.

Class timetables

All classes run in-person on campus from week 20 to week 31 (w/c 10 February to w/c 28 April 2025). The Advanced classes take place on Tuesdays AND Thursdays, from 18.15 to 20.05. The Proficiency classes take place on Wednesdays from 14.15 to 17.05.

You'll be allocated to the course that is the best fit for you based on your Placement Test score, so please check MyTimetable to make sure you can attend both courses before completing the Placement Test.

How to enrol

To be enrolled in a General English class, you must apply for a place by completing a Placement Test on Moodle. You're not able to join a class without completing the Placement Test first. Applications are now open and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The sooner you complete your Placement Test, the more likely you are to be offered a place in a class. There are 25 places available in each class.

You must complete your Placement Test by 26 January 2025.
