University of Wolverhampton International Academy

The University of Wolverhampton's International Academy provides English language courses which range from fully online Pre-sessional English language courses for 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 entry, face-to-face and online/blended learning for the International Foundation Year courses, and we are planning both online and face-to-face Summer and Winter Schools for 2022.  We have a new secure online Wolverhampton English Proficiency Examination and our bespoke OET provision is available for nurses in Healthcare Trusts and Hospitals and has also been integrated into the BSc (Hons) International Nursing Studies degree Top-up course. We continue to support our students with undergraduate and postgraduate language support and our new online MA Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) course starts in January 2022.  

International Foundation Year (IFY) integrated degree - Full-time (4 year study option). Upon successful completion the International Foundation Year provides an educational bridge to most undergradute degrees at the University of Wolverhampton (excluding courses which lead to a professional qualification, needing a PSRB requirement such as Nursing, Teaching, Pharmacy and Social Work, please check individual course entry and professional body requirements). The IFY course is designed for international students (or for students for whom English is not their first language) whose qualifications are insufficient for direct entry to undergraduate study and/or those whose English language level does not meet the minimum entry criteria.

The Pre-sessional English language courses are designed for international students (or for students for whom English is not their first language) who wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level but do not have the required level of English. We offer varying lengths of Pre-sessional English language courses to suit different levels of learners which, upon succesful completion and subject to professional body requirements, enable progression to most undergraduate and some postgraduate courses at the University of Wolverhampton. Please check individual course entry requirements.  (Please note that entry levels are subject to minimum band scores).

The International Academy also offers Summer and Winter School programmes where students can improve English language skills, choose an elective subject and take part on guided weekly excursions. Find out more about our Summer and Winter School programmes. 

We also offer teacher training courses for new teachers, in-service training for teachers and a Study Semester Abroad Scholarship UK course as well as an online MA TESOL course.

Take a look at our brochures online to find out more, or contact us for further information, we look forward to taking your call.
