Enhanced University Preparation

New from September 2011!

Sheffield International College is happy to introduce a new course available from September 2011. The Enhanced University Preparation courses are designed to enhance your study skills and help you achieve highly across all areas of your course.

What does an enhanced course involve?

An Enhanced University Preparation course is a 3-term course where the first term follows a new format. After completing the first term you will join the 2-term course you selected and on successful completion of this course to the required level, you will progress onto The University of Sheffield with the best possible preparation from the college.

The main purpose of the first term is to allow you time to settle into the UK anId familiarise yourself with the Scottish education system. This term focuses particularly on skills such as goal setting, independent learning, preparation for research, time management and exam techniques. You will find this extra preparation invaluable when you are studying at the University.

As there are no exams in the first term you have greater flexibility in terms of when you can enrol at the college - a great relief if your visa is taking longer than expected to come through!

What are the benefits for you?

You have the flexibility to enroll up to an extended deadline - this gives you greater peace of mind if your student visa, academic results or SELT results are delayed.

You will benefit from maximum exposure to the British education system, and emphasis on English language, study and subject skills, as well as on your personal development. This will improve your chance of successfully completing your undergraduate or postgraduate degree at The University of Sheffield.

You will not need to go back to your home country to renew your student visa at the end of your preparation course; this can be done in the UK, saving you time and money!

How do I qualify for an Enhanced University Preparation course?

To qualify for one of our courses you will need to have an IELTS English level of between 4.0 and 5.5 with no less than 4.5 in any skill. Please see the table below for details on English level requirements, start dates and tuition fees.
