Pre-sessional English
Pre-sessional English courses are for students whose first language is not English and who have an offer to study for a degree at the University of Warwick, which is conditional on meeting the English language requirements. Even if you have achieved 6.5 in IELTS you will find the course of benefit. It will develop your language skills for academic purposes, your study skills and will give you a good basis for study at Warwick.
Past students who have attended this course settle down to their MSc studies quicker and find the transition to studying in the UK easier.
Full details of the pre-sessional English course
Specialised English language support classes are held in Life Sciences during Term 1. In addition, students are allocated mentors. These are PhD students or Postdoctoral Fellows within Life Sciences who provide extra academic support.
