Preparation courses for international students
If you need some extra preparation to help secure your place at university, then we’re here to help. Our English language and foundation courses were designed to give you the skills and confidence to start your degree course.
Pre-sessional English courses
If you have an offer to study at Middlesex and don’t meet the minimum English language requirements you can still join us.
Our admissions team will advise you if they think you should complete a Pre-sessional English course.
- You won’t need to submit a separate application form
- Courses take place in the months before term time
- Course length depends on your level of English at the beginning of the Pre-sessional English course
- You do not need to take an exam like IELTS if you pass a Pre-sessional English course
Applicants from some countries cannot be considered for this course so check your country page to see if you're eligible.
Intensive IELTS preparation course
This is an intensive short course that you can take before preparing to take an IELTS exam. It will help you to achieve the grade in your IELTS which you need in order to start university.
This course is open to everyone, not just students at Middlesex University.
Foundation courses
We offer specialist courses so you can get the qualifications you need to start a full degree. Our foundation year courses prepare you for degree-level study and can help if:
- You feel you are not yet ready for degree-level study
- You do not have the right qualifications for a full degree
- You are returning to study and feel you need some help to get up to speed with the demands of learning before embarking on a degree
