English for Academic Purposes

The course is structured into two levels, EAP 1 and EAP 2. EAP 1 bridges the gap between General English and Academic English, taking students using the Common European Framework (CEF) from B1 to high B1 (B1+). It is designed to help students learn intermediate-level English language skills, with a particular emphasis on academic vocabulary and grammar, note taking, essay writing, presentation skills, and strategies for undertaking research. EAP 2 equips students with the necessary English language skills required for academic study at university or other tertiary level institutions, taking students from high B1 (B1+) to B2. It includes further practice in academic study skills, analysis of academic texts, awareness of academic culture, how to avoid plagiarism, essay organisation, note taking, group discussion, writing references, and paraphrasing texts.

For EAP Level 1, you need either successful completion of Intermediate level or above of the General English course, or an IELTS Band 5.0 with no band below 4.5. For EAP Level 2, you need either successful completion of Upper Intermediate level or above of the General English course or EAP Level 1, or an IELTS Band 5.5 with no band below 5.0.
