What is English for Academic Purposes?
The English for Academic Purposes (Study Skills) Programme is for international students intending to study at Lancaster University, and who are required or wish to improve their English language and study skills before starting their degree studies. See the Programme Outline for further details.
Students applying for the programme must first of all have undergone the standard Lancaster University admissions procedures. If you receive either a requirement or a recommendation to take one of the above courses before starting your studies in October, the university Undergraduate or Postgraduate Admissions Office will notify you about which of the courses to take and will indicate what the application procedures are.
There are also a limited number of places available for students who have been accepted into the University without being required or recommended to take one of these courses. If you have received an "unconditional offer" and are interested in enrolling in one of the courses, please contact the Study Skills Secretary for further details.
