Pre-university pathways are tailor made for university entry for international students in terms of Academic English support, that is, pre-university pathways all have an integral element of improving traditional language skills; reading, writing, listening and speaking, but also academic study skills such as note-making, constructing essays from sources, and taking part in academic seminar discussion. Upon arrival at university, not having a sufficiently high level of Academic English will damage a student’s scores across all subjects, as opposed to really hitting the ground running.
