English for visiting and exchange students

Are you a visiting or exchange student? Is English not your first language? If so, you can enrol on one of our specialised units designed to enhance your language proficiency.

Our Academic Success Credit Courses are credit bearing academic English courses for exchange and visiting students. Our courses are for students who don’t use English as a first language.

In Semester 1, we currently plan to run two courses:

• Advanced English Language in Use: develops English language skills by engaging with media and literature.
• English for Academic Purposes: covers a number of key academic skills in English.

Our Academic Success Credit Courses cater for IELTS levels (or equivalent) of 6.5 and 7.0. Please contact academicsuccess@manchester.ac.uk if you are unable to provide proof of your language level.

You can also take advantage of our Open Learning Centre for Languages and Academic English (OLCLAE) during your course, which offers a range of self-study resources.
