Extended Intensive English | International Foundation Programme

Pre-IFP Extended Intensive English

You will need to study this course if your English isn’t at a suitable level and you don’t meet the minimum English Language requirements for your chosen foundation programme. You can also choose to take this course if you've met the English requirements, but would like to refresh your skills ahead of the IFP course start.

Over the six week module, you will work intensively in small class sizes to improve your English and build your confidence. You can also stay on campus whilst taking this course, so it's an opportunity to settle into life in the UK, at Warwick.
