Abertay UniversityAbout the
Abertay is a modern, friendly university in the heart of Dundee, Scotland, with a strong focus on teaching and preparing our graduates for the world of work, combined with excellence in research and knowledge exchange.
With roots going back to 1888, Abertay has always responded to the needs of industry, supplying a pipeline of graduate talent to work, lead and innovate across a wide range of sectors.
Having forged a reputation as one of the UK's leading tech universities, we are best known for our expertise in video games education and our degrees in this field have been ranked number one in Europe for the last seven consecutive years.
From Mental Health Nursing to Civil Engineering, or Business Analytics to Ethical Hacking, our three academic schools offer programmes that prepare our students for employment and, in most cases, offer real-world work experience alongside their studies.
We pride ourselves on offering an inclusive, friendly and welcoming environment for our students and staff alongside first rate teaching and and excellent student experience.
And don't just take it from us! We're proud to be the 2021 Sunday Times University of the Year for Teaching Quality, to rank in the UK top 10 for Student Satisfaction in the National Student Survey, and to be a National Centre for Excellence for both video games and cybersecurity education.
This programme is designed for undergraduate or postgraduate students who need to improve their English Language and Academic Skills prior to entering a degree at Abertay University (and so are currently holding a conditional offer). Classes and assignments aim to accelerate the student's English language level, particularly in terms of English for Academic Purposes, as well as to develop their academic writing and research skills in a challenging yet supportive study environment. Successful completion of the programme will enable students to enter their chosen degree, without the need to sit IELTS or other English language tests.
This is a full-time, 9 week course with approximately 20 hours of class time each week.
Classes focus on developing the four skills:
- Writing: Understanding and planning different assignments, using sources, avoiding plagiarism, and improving your accuracy. - Reading: Strategies to help you to read academic books, journal articles and online sources faster and more effectively.
- Listening: Strategies for both formal settings such as lectures, and informal discussions and conversations.
- Speaking: Giving presentations and taking part in seminars.
Classes are usually in the form of workshops, where students will be able to try out the language and ideas presented by the tutors; they’ll also be asked to give presentations, work with other students in groups to complete projects, and to work individually to reflect on their own progress. This will help students develop the other skills required for successful study in the UK: critical thinking, independent learning and academic literacy.
Note: This program can only be applied to in combination with an academic program for the purpose of obtaining language-specific conditional admission. Any applications submitted to these programs without an accompanying academic program will result in cancellation.
