English for Academic Purposes
All students will also study an English for Academic Purposes module. This module is not about developing your conversational or everyday English skills; instead, it will develop your Academic English skills and enhance your achievement in your academic subjects. The module will develop strategies for understanding more of what you read and listen to, expressing your ideas coherently in speech and writing and participating effectively in seminar discussions.
The module helps to develop a range of transferable skills which will be invaluable for your undergraduate degree and give you a head start, including library skills and effective internet searching; group work and independent study; planning and time management; academic integrity; presentation skills and group discussions.
