Admission Requirements

Entry Requirements

We highly recommend the Pre-sessional English courses for any international or EU student planning to study at a UK university; it is excellent preparation for study even if you have already fulfilled the English language requirement for your main course.

Students who have not chosen their main academic programme should contact the course administrators for advice about which course to choose.

If you have not fulfilled the English language requirement for your main course your offer letter should tell you which course to apply for. If it does not, the Pre-sessional team will advise you on which course is suitable for you. You can also download the Which Pre-sessional English course is right for me? (PDF) guide.

English Requirements

The minimum English language entry requirements for our pre-sessional courses are set out below.  ​

  • Medium Pre-sessional English course: Your IELTS Academic* scores are no more than 1.0 below your academic programme's English language entry requirements overall and/or in one or more skills: reading, writing, listening and / or speaking.

Kingston University's Pre-sessional English course will develop your English language and study skills to prepare you for your main course at university. Students who choose this course are ambitious and motivated. They come from a wide range of countries and go on to study on a wide range of degree programmes. Our teaching and administrative team are highly skilled and experienced in working with international students and we are committed to helping you successfully complete the course. Together this makes for a varied and stimulating academic experience.

Our courses will:

  • develop the study skills you need at university

  • develop your independence as a learner, which is an important skill for studying at British universities

  • introduce you to the University, Kingston and the surrounding area, helping you to settle in to your new environment and meet other students.
