English language preparation
ICP's Pre-sessional English Language takes place in the same classrooms as our academic courses, so students studying English language are part of the ICP student body and have access to the same university facilities as those in academic courses. Successful completion of your Pre-sessional course guarantees you a place on the following academic stage at ICP.
You will be eligible to apply for one visa for your entire pathway - from your entry at ICP (including Pre-Sessional English if required) through to graduation from the University of Portsmouth.
