Overview
Taught by lecturers in the XJTLU English Language Centre, our programme is BALEAP(British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes) certified and has been conferred “Validated Programme” status by CIOL (Charted Institute of Linguists).
The Pre-sessional English Programme programme at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University comprises of 140 hours of teaching and 105 hours of self-study, and there are two options available of two different lengths, i.e., a 7-week summer intensive course, and a 14-week part-time course. The 14-week part-time course is designed for part-time programme students who cannot take the 7-week intensive course and full-time programme students who prefer a longer and less intensive course with the same language and skills focus as the 7-week intensive course.
Once you are accepted onto a Pre-sessional English course, you will not need to retake a language test. This means that you can concentrate on developing your postgraduate study skills.
Who Should Take a Pre-sessional English Course?
If you have applied for an XJTLU master’s programme and meet the minimum English language requirements for the course, as shown below, you may be accepted onto the Pre-sessional course subject to Programme Director approval. Upon successful completion of the Pre-sessional English course, your XJTLU master’s offer letter will be changed to “Unconditional” for English level.
If you have already met the English language entry requirement of your prospective master’s programme, you are also welcome to take the PSE course to support improvements in your academic English language skills.
