Pathway Programs
The International Study Centre offers three preparation programs that provide the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for degree studies.
English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
English for Academic Purposes is an undergraduate pre-degree program designed for international students with a minimum English level of IELTS 3.0 or equivalent. In this one or two semester program, students develop the four key language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, in the context of degree level studies.
University Bridging Program (UBP)
The University Bridging Program is a one semester, pre-degree program designed for international students with a minimum English level of IELTS 4.5 or equivalent. Students work with complex academic texts, produce fully referenced academic writing, and deliver a formal presentation.
Pre-Master’s Program (PMP)
The Pre-Master’s Program is an advanced, university preparation program designed for international students with a minimum English level of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent. This one semester program is for graduate students that need to improve their English to meet the IELTS 6.5 requirement of a on-campus graduate program. The PMP is also suitable for undergraduate transfer students seeking direct entry into year three of an on- campus bachelor’s degree.
