Academic Readiness Programme
If you have taken an academic entry assessment and need focused preparation before reassessment, this programme can help you understand the tasks and practise the skills you need. We review your starting point before confirming whether the programme is suitable.
Who it is for
Applicants who are close to the required entry standard and would benefit from focused preparation. The programme is not a substitute for a longer language course where substantial language development is needed.
What you will practise
Listening
Identify key ideas and follow academic instructions.
Reading
Understand texts, locate information and interpret questions.
Writing
Plan and organise a clear response.
Speaking
Explain ideas and respond to questions.
Assessment literacy
Understand instructions, task types and assessment expectations.
Study planning
Manage practice time and identify priorities.
Week 1Understand Your Starting Point
Review feedback or diagnostic information, identify priorities and practise the skills and task types you need to develop.
Week 2Prepare for Reassessment
Complete further practice, review feedback and check your readiness for the next assessment.
Delivery and support
The planned duration is two weeks. Session arrangements, independent practice, speaking activities and feedback are confirmed before enrolment.
Progress and expectations
Practice and feedback help you understand your development and remaining priorities. Entry decisions and reassessment requirements remain with the receiving institution; completing this programme does not guarantee a pass or admission.
