English Language requirements

For General English, there is no specific English language requirement as we try to cater to a wide range of abilities.

Other English Language courses such as the English for IELTS and English for Academic Purposes course would require Intermediate English level for entry. Upon commencement of an English language course, students are given a written and oral English language test to ensure that they are placed in a course suitable to their language proficiency.
