Overview
This English for Creative Disciplines course from The Glasgow School of Art is a discipline-specialist language and study skills course tailored to the needs of international students who have been offered a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate course at GSA on the condition that they improve their English up to a level required by a given GSA programme.
Key facts:
This means the course is different from conventional language courses that, for example, focus on exam preparation, grammar or vocabulary practice. The course combines content and language to create optimal conditions for contextualised language practice as well as inquiry and project-based learning to help the students develop as creative practitioners and life-long language learners.
Based on the feedback from past students and GSA programme leaders, such an innovative approach is appreciated and crucial in allowing the students to transition successfully onto their prospective programmes.
Programme Structure
The overall approach taken to the design of the course relies on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), which is learning English by studying a content-based subject, in this case Art, Design and Architecture.
Because of that, the course design features three interconnected subject-specific strands:
- art and design/culture studies concepts, e.g. sustainability;
- art and design methodologies, e.g. primary investigation;
- art and design projects, e.g. sensory experience.

General requirements
- In order to apply for the PS ECD for Creative Disciplines, the students have to have a conditional offer for any GSA course which requires them to improve their language skills up to a level required by the prospective course. These requirements will be different for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and so they affect the entry requirements for the PS ECD Course; check your programme website for details.
- They also need a UKVI approved English test, such as IELTS UKVI or Pearson PTE Academic UKVI, taken within 2 years of the proposed course start date. Depending on the student’s current English language scores and the GSA UG/PG programme, the student can join the PS ECD course at three intake points to undertake all three modules (14 weeks), Modules 2 and 3 (10 weeks), or only the last third Module (5 weeks). The PS ECD Course entry requirements are explained in the next section.
