Our courses improve our student’s English language skills in all areas.

English for Academic Purposes (Pre-sessional courses)
ESBM has direct pathways into UK universities which accept our EAP pre-sessional courses as proof of our students achieving the necessary English language standard.
The entry requirements for our pre-sessional English courses at ESBM are based on your most recent IELTS result (or equivalent), and the English language requirements for the degree course you plan on studying in University.
​
Our class size is limited to 12 students maximum per class.
​
We accept Academic IELTS, IELTS for UKVI and CEFR results from applicants to our pre-sessional courses. Trinity Integrated Skills in English (ISE) results may be acceptable for our admissions purposes. IELTS are also acceptable for General English but If you do not have any of the standard test results you can still apply for our General English programmes as our Placement Test and interview will establish your appropriate level of study.
​Our academic programmes begin at B1 level and allow for successful transition into under-graduate or post-graduate study.
IELTS
Our IELTS courses are run throughout the year. We have experienced IELTS instructors who place a clear focus on the exam itself, they set out to familiarise students with the examination format, and include substantial skills development in academic reading, listening, writing and speaking. Practice tests are taken frequently and papers evaluated. We also help students to book the exam. The IELTS courses usually run through the week Monday to Friday but can be scheduled around student requirements if needed.
