What will I study?
You’ll improve your English language proficiency and study skills. You’ll practise:
- Understanding and taking notes from lectures
- Giving presentations
- Seminar and discussion skills
- Writing academic essays
- Academic referencing
- Compiling bibliographies
- You’ll be assessed in listening, reading, writing and presentation/discussion skills.
