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.
By completing a Pre-sessional English language course at ICP, you will:
- increase your understanding of English
- improve your pronunciation, grammatical skills and reading comprehension
- develop a broad, academically useful vocabulary
- improve your ability to participate in seminars and take useful lecture notes
- build on your writing skills for essays, reports and assignments
- become confident at public speaking and delivering presentations
- develop research skills so you can read academic texts, journals and papers efficiently and effectively
- develop the independent study skills required for success in a university environment
